PIER 57 A PIER WITHOUT PEER Designed by Emil H. Praeger and built in 1954 by the New York City Marine and Aviation Department, Pier 57 stands as a testament to American ingenuity and represents the can-do spirit of innovation that animated the rebuilding of America in the decade following the Second World War. The 875-foot-long Pier 57 is an engineering marvel. Instead of being held aloft by piles driven into the bed of the Hudson, it sits upon colossal concrete boxes — one and a half blocks long and three stories high — that actually float in the river. It’s a technical achievement which earned Pier 57 a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Pier 57 is the beneficiary of a $380,000,000 renovation and redesign project. The result is the establishment of the pier as a future -facing enterprise, that among other things, will be home to one of the world’s leading technology companies: Google. A MIX OF NOTED RETAIL The retail at Pier 57 will feature artisanal businesses, whose unique offerings will attract a discerning audience with modern tastes. The rooftop park is accessed via the indoor retail corridor. This ensures all visitors encounter the retail environ- ment, which is anchored at the far end of the building by premium dining and enter- tainment, further encouraging full walk-through. PIER 57 OCCUPIES AN ENVIABLE LOCATION The biking, running and walking path that runs directly in front of Pier 57 is the most used in the United States and carries tens of thousands of adventurous New Yorkers past its doors every single day. Just North of the Meatpacking District, and only a block from the High Line, Pier 57 is perfectly positioned to be visited by sightseers from both destinations.

    Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision for the East Side Access Project

    Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision For the East Side Access Project September 2012 SUMMARY OF DECISION This is a Record of Decision (ROD) of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, regarding the East Side Access (ESA) Project. FRA has prepared this ROD in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA, and FRA’s Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) filed an application with the FRA for a loan to finance eligible elements of the ESA Project through the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program. The ESA Project is the MTA’s largest system expansion in over 100 years. The ESA Project will expand the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) services by connecting Queens and Long Island with East Midtown Manhattan. With direct LIRR service to Midtown East, the LIRR will further increase its market share of commuters by saving up to 40 minutes per day in subway/bus/sidewalk travel time for commuters who work on Manhattan’s East Side. The ESA Project was previously considered in an environmental impact statement (EIS) prepared by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in May 2001 and subsequent FTA reevaluations and an environmental assessment of changes in the ESA Project. Construction of the ESA Project has been ongoing since 2001. FRA has reviewed the environmental impacts for the ESA Project identified in the FTA March 2001 Final EIS, subsequent FTA Reevaluations, and the 2006 Supplemental EA/FONSI (collectively, the “2001 EIS”) for the ESA Project and adopted it pursuant to CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1506.3).

    INEKE FAES & PATRICK VAN ROSENDAAL FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES WITH INEKE FAES & PATRICK VAN ROSENDAAL 4 FOREWORD How often do you move to another city and immediately meet its most famous Belgian, who knows every corner of New York City and turns out to be an incredibly nice guy? The answer, of course, is never. But that’s what happened to me during my very first days in The Big Apple. This is Patrick van Rosendaal’s third ‘BE NY’ book, written jointly with his charming wife, Ineke Faes. It is a positive, funny, and useful book that leaves out none of the information you need to know when visiting. Of course, there are the ‘must-sees’ and ‘must-dos’, but what makes this BE NY Family really special are the tiny things you will never learn anywhere else, such as facts about dog names and toilet paper. It is a page-turner and it also caters to kids, offering details on where to find the best hot dogs or where to rent bicycles of all sizes. And so much more … Rest assured that you will have your best visit ever to New York City when you tour with Patrick and his team of city guides. Enjoy the book, take it everywhere with you but, first and foremost: enjoy this magnificent city, to which Patrick and Ineke, like so many others, have lost their hearts. Cathy Buggenhout Consul General of Belgium 5 New York: One big playground WHY THIS BOOK? Many people leave their children behind with grandma and grandpa when they go on a city trip to New York, or they wait until the kids are 18 before going together to discover the city.

    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an Inter-Related History 1876-1933

    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an inter-related History 1876-1933. Introduction: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between a new urban and architectural form, the skyscraper, and an equally new urban infrastructure, district heating, both of witch were born in the north-east United States during the late nineteenth century and then developed in tandem through the 1920s and 1930s. These developments will then be compared with those in Europe, where the context was comparatively conservative as regards such innovations, which virtually never occurred together there. I will argue that, the finest example in Europe of skyscrapers and district heating planned together, at Villeurbanne near Lyons, is shown to be the direct consequence of American influence. Whilst central heating had appeared in the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, district heating, which developed the same concept at an urban scale, was realized in Lockport (on the Erie Canal, in New York State) in the 1880s. In United States were born the two important scientists in the fields of heating and energy, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and Benjamin Thompson Rumford (1753-1814). Standard radiators and boilers - heating surfaces which could be connected to central or district heating - were also first patented in the United States in the late 1850s.1 A district heating system produces energy in a boiler plant - steam or high-pressure hot water - with pumps delivering the heated fluid to distant buildings, sometimes a few kilometers away. Heat is therefore used just as in other urban networks, such as those for gas and electricity.

    7. Urban Design and Visual Resources

    East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS 7. Urban Design and Visual Resources 7.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the Proposed Action’s potential effects on urban design and visual resources. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the Proposed Action involves zoning map and zoning text amendments that would affect an approximately 70-block area in the East Midtown area of Manhattan for the purpose of protecting and strengthening the area as a premier office district, as well as improving the area’s pedestrian and built environment. The Proposed Action is intended to encourage limited and targeted as-of-right commercial development in appropriate locations by establishing an East Midtown Subdistrict within the Special Midtown District. The East Midtown Subdistrict would supersede and subsume the existing Grand Central Subdistrict, focusing new commercial development with the greatest as-of-right densities on large sites with full block frontage on avenues around Grand Central Terminal, with slightly lower densities allowed along the Park Avenue corridor and elsewhere. The zoning text amendment would also streamline the system for landmark transfers within the Grand Central Subarea of the East Midtown Subdistrict and generate funding for area-wide pedestrian network improvements. The zoning map amendments would replace the existing C5-2 designation in the midblock area between East 42nd and East 43rd Streets, from Second Avenue to Third Avenue, with C5-3 and C5-2.5 designations, which would be mapped within the Special Midtown District and East Midtown Subdistrict. Subject to further analysis and public consultation, the Proposed Action may also amend the City Map to reflect a “Public Place” designation over portions of Vanderbilt Avenue to allow for the permanent development of a partially pedestrianized street.

    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods C HELSEA MANHATTAN CHELSEA In 1750, British naval officer Thomas Clarke bought a Dutch farm to create his retirement estate, named “Chelsea” after the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. His property extended from approximately Eighth Avenue to the Hudson—its shore ran roughly along today’s Tenth Avenue—between 20th and 28th Streets. The estate was subdivided in 1813 between two grandsons; Clement Clarke Moore received the southern half below 24th Street while his cousin, Thomas B.
