NEW YORK

1. New York is a city where all the languages of the world are spoken and where people live on the ground, travel under the ground and work in the sky.

New York makes a great impression on all visitors because of its many high buildings, its theatres, museums and hotels, its beautiful bridges, and its expensive stores with their fabulous prices.

The first permanent white settlers came to New York from Holland in 1626. It was these Dutch settlers who bought all of Manhattan Island from the Indians for the equivalent of twenty-five dollars, while today some of this land costs a million dollars an acre. This island is the heart of the city.

2. It is on Manhattan Island that most of the skyscrapers are located. This island is connected by six long bridges, as well as by tunnels and ferries, with the other four districts that constitute New York City.

New York is the largest city in the United States. Today there are more people living in the New York City than in Australia, Peru or Sweden.

3. For transportation New York depends mainly on buses, subway, and ferries. The buses are slow because of the crowded streets, whereas the subway trains can go as fast as railroad trains, sometimes stopping only at the most important stations. We may go all day by the subway for 50 cents, if we only change trains but do not go out of the stations.

New York moves vertically as well as horizontally, taking its people by elevators to their offices on the fortieth, sixtieth, and eightieth floor.

4. New York is the richest and the poorest, the most modern and the most old-fashioned of cities. It is the home of expensive hotels and cheap boarding houses, the home of symphonies and popular jazz, of cathedrals and night clubs; the home of famous Metropolitan Opera and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the home of largest publishing houses of the United States and of the biggest newspapers. On the Fifth Avenue there are many expensive stores of international fame, but around the corner one may find little shops where imitation diamonds and cheap souvenirs are sold.
