Copyrighted, 1906, BY THE Merchants' Association OF New York. ^ PREFATORY. AST year more than, nine thousand out-of- town buyers registered at the offices of The Merchants' Association of New York. A great many of these asked information as to hotels, theatres, restaurants, ferries, railroad offices, street-car routes, elevated railroads, libraries, public buildings, pleasure resorts, short excursions, etc. The eleven hundred resident members of the Asso- ciation ask many questions as to the location of public offices, hack-rates, distances, automobile sta- tions and similar subjects. It has been found that a hand-book containing in- formation of the kind indicated, in a form convenient for ready-reference, will not only be a great con- venience for visiting merchants, but also in many respects for residents. This pocket-guide is pub- lished in response to that demand. It will be supplied without charge to visiting mer- chants registering at the offices of the Association; and a few free copies are at the disposal of each resident member. Members who desire a large quantity for distribu- tion to their customers will be supplied at about the cost price. CONTENTS. PAGE Ferries, Manhattan: I. Points Reached by Perries 1 II.

    Towards Trash Free Waters: Quantifying Potential Aquatic Trash Recovery in the Hillsborough River Watershed

    Towards Trash Free Waters: Quantifying Potential Aquatic Trash Recovery in the Hillsborough River Watershed Prepared for Nestlé Waters North America October 27, 2015 Prepared by Timothy G. Townsend (Principal Investigator) Max J. Krause Sarah A. Gustitus Jeremy Toms University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 i Executive Summary Despite advances in solid waste management and increased awareness of the negative environmental consequences of pollution, littering is still common in the US. Littering can be the result of carelessness, accidents, or intentional actions, but the effect is the same. In recent years, concerned citizens have increased their attention to litter in the Hillsborough River Watershed (HRW). The University of Florida (UF) research team collaborated with local municipalities and non-government organizations (NGOs) to quantify and map the quantity of collected litter within the HRW. Because much of the storm water within the HRW drains into the Hillsborough River, all of the litter within the watershed has the potential to become aquatic trash (PAT). The PAT that was collected in roadside and park cleanups before it made its way into the Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico (recovered PAT) was cataloged into a database and mapped using ESRI ArcGIS software. Concentrations of recovered PAT were reported as pounds per acre for 1,015 cleanup events at 168 unique sites within the HRW from 2008-2014, shown in Figure E1. Additionally, educational campaigns such as storm drain markings and field visits by the WaterVentures mobile lab were mapped to identify where residents could be expected to have increased awareness of the negative issues associated with littering.

    July 8 Grants Press Release

    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

    Saimaa University of Applied Sciences Business and Culture, Imatra Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Degree Programme in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management Maria Rugojeva Customer Experiences of Film Location Tourists in New York City Thesis 2014 Abstract Maria Rugojeva Customer Experiences of Film Location Tourists in New York City, 52 pages Saimaa University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Degree Programme in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management Bachelor’s Thesis 2014 Instructor: Ms Jaana Häkli, Senior Lecturer, Saimaa University of Applied Sci- ences The purpose of the study was to create a development plan for film location tours arranged by On Location Tours in New York City. In this thesis the tours analyzed are film location tours based on the series Sex and the City and Gos- sip Girl. This theme was chosen because of the author’s passion towards films and New York City. On Location Tours was chosen because it is the largest film tour company in USA with its thousands of customers each day. This company also has individual tours based on both series in question. In the theoretical part terms around customer experience, customer satisfaction, special interest tourism and film tourism are explained. These are important terms from the point of view of this study and it is crucial to understand these before going into the analysis. A desk study was made by analyzing online re- views written in Tripadvisor about the film location tours based on Sex and the City and Gossip Girl. In the analysis both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

    Three Wonder Walks (After the High Line) Featuring Walking Routes, Collections and Notes by Matthew Jensen Three Wonder Walks (After the High Line) The High Line has proven that you can create a des- tination around the act of walking. The park provides a museum-like setting where plants and flowers are intensely celebrated. Walking on the High Line is part of a memorable adventure for so many visitors to New York City. It is not, however, a place where you can wander: you can go forward and back, enter and exit, sit and stand (off to the side). Almost everything within view is carefully planned and immaculately cultivated. The only exception to that rule is in the Western Rail Yards section, or “W.R.Y.” for short, where two stretch- es of “original” green remain steadfast holdouts. It is here—along rusty tracks running over rotting wooden railroad ties, braced by white marble riprap—where a persistent growth of naturally occurring flora can be found. Wild cherry, various types of apple, tiny junipers, bittersweet, Queen Anne’s lace, goldenrod, mullein, Indian hemp, and dozens of wildflowers, grasses, and mosses have all made a home for them- selves. I believe they have squatters’ rights and should be allowed to stay. Their persistence created a green corridor out of an abandoned railway in the first place. I find the terrain intensely familiar and repre- sentative of the kinds of landscapes that can be found when wandering down footpaths that start where streets and sidewalks end. This guide presents three similarly wild landscapes at the beautiful fringes of New York City: places with big skies, ocean views, abun- dant nature, many footpaths, and colorful histories.
