Ithaca, New York

Since I had visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time, I had wanted to go to the Cloisters. During the afternoon in the back of my father’s Honda civic, I sat wondering what the Cloisters would have inside or even look like. From my neighborhood of Jackson Heights to Washington Heights, the demographics changed throughout. Along northern boulevard from Jackson Heights up until Long Island City, I had noticed the demographic change. Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst remained, for…

New York City is considered to be one of the busiest cities with some of the rudest people. Everyone has heard of the New York minute, everything happens so fast around us that we don’t notice what’s really going on. But there's something else happening in that split second, there is a whole community working together, all at once to create a single day. Some may think that since everyone is always in such a rush they are naturally rude and would push people out of their way. While that may…

Ellis Island and started a new life in Pennsylvania, it was like I could feel their presence in the building. So, I believe that the purpose of this article is to give credit to Ellis Island and everything it did for America. It became so important to the culture and the people, because it gave them the thing they needed and wanted most, the American Dream and the freedom to do so. Even with all of its flaws, the island saved people from their past lives and gave them a new life to live. The…

Introduction In this essay I will be exploring a topic most deeply embedded in New York’s history, which happens to be a theme widely pertinent and of extensive influence on the characters and the plot of “A Summer’s Reading”, by Bernard Malamud. New York has, since the days it was known as New Amsterdam, been the most prominent port of entry into North America. From the crown of the Statue of Liberty, one could easily make out scores of ship entering her harbor daily, and onboard, millions of…

taxis, all the fashion, and all the landmarks; I am just reminiscing about the time I took a trip to the Big Apple. It was one of the best things I ever experienced. My dad took me and my sister to the wonderful city of New York for my 16th birthday. Since I wanted to fit in with New York’s fashion, I decided to wear a fluffy, white fur coat with heavy Timberlands. Before we arrived at the Big Apple, we had to go through the Atlanta airport. Our flight was delayed, and it was a very tedious…

There is a relationship between physical environment and human interactions. I live upstate New York and travel three day during the week to New York City. At the beginning when I start to travel I find a big difference between the two cities. The upstate New York is more quiet and people are more friendly. In New York City people don’t take time to see what is around them, even though they have everything. First, I live in a small city that everybody knows each others. I have 5 years working…

The New York Times reported that a year after New York City said it had a plan to re-test the concrete in many buildings as Testwell had failed to do, the re-testing had not been performed, consequently only on a handful of buildings. According to reporter William Rasbaum, sixty…

experience in New York City and ostensibly about her decision to leave New York as she realized it was no longer her home. But more than that it is an essay about growing up and gaining wisdom. Obviously, growing up means something different for every person, but for Didion it meant realizing that her personal comfort far outweighed the attempt to live the life you are supposed to live—a life that other people would be impressed by. To describe moments that compromised her New York life, Didion…

DNY Peer Leader is due to my love for New York. I spend a lot of my weekends simply adventuring through the city. It is one, if not the, main reason I decided to attend St. John’s. I want other students to be excited about the area they attend college in. And understand that there is a whole world of opportunity out there, even just within New York. Beside this reason, I believe this position is something that will allow me to expand my understanding of New York. Even though I completed the…
