Personal Wtaste is a subjective matter, and I (Brian) only pay attention to raves, whether they are for a restaurant, artist, musician, or fi lm, if they are universal. If everyone likes it, it has to be good. Well, not always. Anyway, we’ve (Brian Silverman, Kelsy Chauvin and Richard Goodman) compiled our personal favorites below . for what we can call the “best of” in many areas from experiences to restaurants. You may not agree, but that’s what makes these “best of” lists fun. Just don’t take them too seriously. most unforgettable Most Unforgettable New York City Experiences York New Unforgettable Most NEW YORK CITY EXPERIENCES W Sailing to the Statue of Liberty, on Liberty Island in New York Harbor: If you have time to do only one thing on your visit to New York, sail to the Lady in the Harbor. No other monument embodies the nation’s—and the world’s— notion of political freedom and economic potential more than Lady Liberty. It is also the ultimate symbol of New York, the personifi cation of the city’s vast diversity and tolerance. And, as of July 4, 2009, you can once more ascend to the Lady’s crown, for the fi rst time since September 11, 2001. See p. 269. W Visiting the Empire State Build- THE BEST OF THE BIG APPLE THE BEST ing Observatory at dusk: The Empire State Building, once again the tallest building in New York, is one of the city’s defi nitive icons. Arrive at dusk and watch the lights of the city come on. It’s pure magic. See p. 257. W Walking the Brooklyn Bridge: Manhattan has fi ve major bridges connecting the island to other shores, and the most historic and fascinating is the Brooklyn Bridge.

See p. 255. W Jogging around the Central Park Reservoir: Okay, you don’t even have to jog it. You can walk the jogging path around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and take in the beauty of Central Park, the views of Central Park West, Fifth Avenue, and especially the skyline of midtown Manhattan. See p. 310. W Sunday Morning in New York: This might not sound so unforgettable, but to experience the city minus the noise and activity is something special. I’ve noticed quite a few tourists, usually jet-lagged Europeans, wandering the parks and streets early Sunday mornings. W Walking 125th Street: Take a walk across this famous Harlem boulevard, and your senses will be overwhelmed with the music, the variety of stores, the restaurants, the stalls selling everything from homemade CDs to bean pies, and the street prophets and musicians. The energy is relentless. W Traveling underground: Don’t be afraid of the subways. Go underground, MetroCard in hand, and use the fastest means of transport in the city. On the way, you might see music, art, even history in many of the city’s refurbished stations. W TriBeCa in the early morning: This marvelous part of New York, full of large, brick, rust-colored warehouses and cobblestone streets, looks like Monet painted it in the morning with a strong sun playing off its rich surfaces. This is the heart of the heart of New York, to my mind.

  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States. All errors and omissions are solely those of the author.

This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well.

    AMERICAN SOCIETY OF American Society of Landscape Architects LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS Medal of Excellence Nominations NEW YORK 205 E 42nd St, 14th floor c/o Carolyn Mitchell New York, NY 10017 636 Eye Street, NW 212.269.2984 Washington, DC 20001-3736 www.aslany.org Re: Nomination of Central Park Conservancy for Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence Dear Colleagues: I am thrilled to write this nomination of the Central Park Conservancy for the Landscape Architects Medal of Excellence. The Central Park Conservancy (CPC) is a leader in park management dedicated to the preserving the legacy of urban parks and laying the foundations for future generations to benefit from these public landscapes. Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a scenic retreat from urban life for the enjoyment of all. Located in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is the nation’s first major urban public space, attracting millions of visitors, both local and tourists alike. Covering 843 acres of land, this magnificent park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and as a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1974. As the organization entrusted with the responsibility of caring for New York’s most important public space, the Central Park Conservancy is founded on the belief that citizen leadership and private philanthropy are key to ensuring that the Park and its essential purpose endure. Conceived during the mid-19th century as a recreational space for residents who were overworked and living in cramped quarters, Central Park is just as revered today as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day stresses of urban life — a place where millions of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world come to experience the scenic beauty of one of America’s greatest works of art.
