  • Ny Waterway Commuter Ferry/Bus Network
    From: NY Waterway 4800 Avenue at Port Imperial Weehawken, NJ 07086 Rubenstein Contact: Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NY WATERWAY COMMUTER FERRY/BUS NETWORK NY Waterway operates the largest privately-owned commuter ferry service in the U.S., carrying more than 32,000 passenger trips per day – 10 million trips per year – on 34 boats serving 23 routes between New Jersey and Manhattan, and between Rockland and Westchester counties, and between Orange and Dutchess counties. Thousands of NY Waterway ferry commuters save an hour or more per trip, the equivalent of a one-month vacation every year. Ferries provide comfortable seating in climate-controlled cabins, but many passengers elect to ride outdoors, experiencing the exhilaration of the trip and the breath-taking views. Passengers’ biggest complaint is that the ride is too short. A fleet of 70 NY Waterway buses provide a free, seamless commute between ferry terminals in New York and New Jersey and inland locations. “Our commuter ferries provide safe, convenient and efficient commuter services, reducing traffic and pollution in the Metropolitan area,” says NY Waterway President & Founder Arthur E. Imperatore, who started the business in 1986. Operating out of beautiful ferry terminals on both sides of the Hudson River, NY Waterway provides an unrivaled commuting experience. Commuter routes include: Port Imperial in Weehawken NJ, to West 39th Street in Manhattan, all day, seven days a week. Port Imperial to Brookfield Place / Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, morning/evening rush hours, weekdays; all day weekends.

  • W&W Summer 06 Print Layout.Pub
    Volume XLII, Number 2 - Summer 2006 The Many Names of the Lettie G. Howard, by Sam Hoyt In October 1969, American Heritage Magazine reported that on "September 1968, the schooner Caviare sailed up the East River to the [South Street Seaport] museum pier…" Thus began an almost 40 year, sometimes contentious, dia- logue as to the true name of the schoo- ner, involving a number of people. The primary question was whether or not Caviare was originally the Lettie G. Howard. Several facts were indisputable early on. Among them, Caviare was built by Willard A. Burnham (probably a rela- tive of current ASA member and builder Harold Burnham) at South Essex and launched in August 1891. In 1903 she was sold to the E.E.

  • 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.

Year 6, Special Issue, 2011 E-Verify vs. Real Reform: What It Means for Immigrants, Their Communities and the U.S. Economy ELIZABETH O’C ONNOR * There is widespread consensus across the United States that the nation’s imm igration system is broken. However, a divisive and angry debate rages as to what to do. Some call for closed borders, building massive walls, and deportation of “those people” who come to take away jobs from Americans. Others call for humane reform, including total amnesty and the recognition of mobility as a human right. Most Americans find them - selves somewhere in the middle –descendents of immigrants (this author has ancestors from Ireland and Poland), sympathetic to those striving for a better life for their families, interested in new cultures, but fearful of the imp act on overburdened local schools, hospitals, social services, and jobs. The result is that no one is happy with the current system, including em- ploy ers, state officials, anti-immigrant forces, immigrant rights advocates , and immigrants themselves (Sherer, 2010).
