New York

To this day, New York city remains a safe haven of mine; I hold the memories I made both with my father and by myself very close to me. Growing up only an hour train ride away, as time passed, my love for the iconic city grew. Visiting Manhattan became an addiction. The more I explored, the more varying characters I encountered. The amount of diversity condensed within only a couple dozen square miles astounds me. The peoples’ interactions are one of those wonders that can’t be explained, buy…

While walking to work, I took the time to think about how my life has changed completely since I moved to New York. When I first got here I didn’t even know where to go or to begin. I was just so emotionally drained out to the point where if something were to happen to me , I wouldn’t even care. But thanks to a certain someone my unexpected choice to moving to New York made me feel like I made the right choice. (Flashback) Once I gathered my luggage, I walked out of the plane. I saw families…

Being in New York City itself was all too surreal, like a dream come true. Buildings raced each other in a quest to touch the soft blue sky and people littered the streets and sidewalks. Life there was upbeat and fast-paced and everyone and everything was moving, but then you crossed into Central Park. Crossing the sidewalk into the large park was like crossing the border into another world. The milieu changed from the rapid fire movement of the concrete jungle to slow-moving peace in the…

As the New York City Official guide, states on their website this is a “science museum with dinosaur fossils, exhibitions chronicling virtually all known animal and human history and, yes, some eye-popping IMAX movie action” with 5 million of visitors each year. For this reason, this museum is the second from the top 5 museums visited in New York. While I was visiting the museum I noticed people from all over the world as I could hear different languages like Mandarin, French, Spanish, German…

New York City: five boroughs; 304.6 square miles; 8.406 million people. It is a city filled with lights and sights. A city that always has something to offer. I came here like all of my classmates; hoping for an adventure, hoping to learn and discover. New York has a way of making any place feel exciting. Whether that is the housing unit, the coffee shop across the street, or a place by the river, every location holds something special to someone. New York is known for its fast paced…

The movie Gangs of New York, takes place in a neighborhood in lower Manhattan. The movie deals with the immigration of many Irish to New York as a result; gangs are created which are in favor and against the Irish. At the same time this takes place, Lincoln has made the first draft of the country in order to fight in the civil war and free slaves. The movie opening scene begins with a battle in 1846 between a Native gang lead by Bill “The Butcher” and a Irish gang who’s leader is Vallon (main…

“Welcome to New York,” was all it took for me to wake me from my four hour and a half nap. I readjusted in my seat to look out the large window that my head had just been resting only to observe grimy white subway tiles and cracked gray concrete. Quickly, I realized that we were driving through the Lincoln Tunnel that connects New Jersey to New York City. The small, hazy, yellow lights that filled the tunnel bounced off the red velour bus seats, creating strange patterns; I held my breathe,…

For this project I chose to go with the New York Islanders as my company. The Islanders are a professional hockey team currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. There are 2 facets of the organization that are driving factors in its success. The first is hockey operations and the other is the business operations. Business operations handles everything not related to the construction and maintenance of the hockey team. This would include facility management, customer satisfaction and transportation. My…

The 1741 New York Conspiracy Trials was the product of several factors such as racism, fear of slave rebellion and foreign invasion. During the 1740’s, English colonists in New York City felt anxious as they worried about Spanish and French invasions to gain control of North America. In addition, they feared the heavy immigration of Irish immigrants, who may have been Spanish spies. Above all, they were scared of a slave revolt due to the city's growing slave population. They feared a rebellion…

area someone would have to drive fifteen minutes to an hour away from their home to get to their jobs. Also, with a city with such a high population all ethnicities are needed and accepted. According to the Census Bureau, “population estimates, New York City’s population increased from 8, 175, 1331 in April of 2010 to 8,491,079 in July of 2014.” This tells someone how many people you would be around on a regular. This also lets someone be their self and not have to pretend to blend in with a…
