New York World

saw that said uptown. I thought that every uptown train was the same, so I ended up in Yonkers. The mere fact that I don’t have my parents close to me still makes me unhappy. They were always on my side in every moment of my life. Before coming to New York, I thought my parents were overprotective. I wanted them to back off. But now, I miss them. I miss them saying good morning to me, I miss my dad and mom’s jokes, and I simply miss their presence. I was starting to feel desperate and lonely. I…

During the holidays New York City is one of the most breathtaking places to visit. There is something for everyone to see and experience. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve the city is charged with the bustle and excitement of the holiday season. The festivities extend from Rockefeller center to Manhattan to New Jersey. Which means a lot of traffic, dreary taxi rides, crowded subway cars, or a sea of tourists and locals walking briskly to reach their destination. Must – See Events The Macy’s…

many sought refuge in the Netherlands. Other Jews crossed the ocean to settle in the Dutch colony in Brazil. In 1654, Portugal recaptured this colony and the Jews scattered throughout the Caribbean starting new communities. The first group of 23 Dutch Jews landed in New Amsterdam (New York) in 1654. This was the beginning of Jewish life in America. Prior to this arrival a Sephardic Jew arrived at James City, Virginia on the HMS Abigail in 1621, and the second arrival lived in Boston in 1649. The…

American Psycho was published in 1991 by Bret Easton Ellis. Ellis completely captured the life in New York during the 80s. He used specific details to capture the essence of the 80s with the partying, clothes, and gadgets used in everyday life. American Psycho is about Patrick Bateman, a businessman who lives in New York City. Bateman enjoys - like others - eating at fancy restaurants, wearing the fanciest clothes, and going out with women and his coworkers; however, unlike others in this time…

Have you ever wondered how the colossal New York skyscrapers and bridges are built? Every tourist who has visited New York is astounded by the beauty of the city, however, I see NY with a different vision. Even though I spent my infancy in the relatively small and ancient city of Cusco, with just a few impressive and interesting constructions, due to my father’s profession in civil engineering, I was always connected to the construction world. Since I was a child, I have asked myself many…

The Leap Toward Heaven I lay my head back and try to mentally prepare myself. Tomorrow was the big day. I was moving up to be the manager of Windows of the World, the greatest restaurants in New York. This was my biggest accomplishment since I moved to New York, alongside being named Youth Pastor of the nearby church. I have lived in New York for 3 years with my wife, Sara, and our two children, a five-year-old named Matthew and eight-year-old Hannah. I love them very much and would do anything…

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…

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…

I am Nadia Kazacz. Living in a four story walk-up building on the lower East side of New York City is tough in nearly every way imaginable. Living as a woman on Delancey Street in this time and location is also a challenge. The neighborhood is not a nice one, nor is it clean or sanitary. I am a 31 year old woman who has just immigrated from Eastern Europe, specifically Hungary. My husband works as a merchant marine mariner and is away for months at a time at sea. Sometimes his wages reach me…
