Christmas Evening Wonderland
by SLLiew
One of my favorite time in NYC is during the year end festive season from Thanksgiving, Christmas to New Year's Eve. The Christmas tree is up and lighted with angels all around. Traditionally, everyone look for the tradition Christmas window decoration of Macy and all the Christmas tidings that you can see in the shops around including Saks Fifth Avenue. It is fun to be amidst the rush to buy Christmas presents but remember your Jewish friends celebrate Hanukah. There are Christmas carols sung live or through piped music. You may have to explain to the kids why there is more than one Santa Claus on the same street. Anyway, do not be a "Scrooge" but drop at least a "Lincoln" for Salvation Army or any charity coin box.

Hello!
New York City in unique in many ways, for example it has the world's largest National Park: 85 sq miles .
The city is the epi-center for International Business that deal with large capital & assets.
New york City is the only plural city in the world (today) where their is no social strife/riots happening: People tend to get along quite well despite the volume of people living & working in this relatively small space.
'Time Square' today is buzzing with theatrical; social & nion attractions that boggles the mind of any new arrival. Hello!
I have always thought New York City to be another world. Coming from a dveloping country (Guyana), I was enamoured with this city immediately upon arrival via Greyhound Bus, directly from Washington DC.
The high-rise buildings; Time square in its' entirety, and Central Park.
The things that I would miss the most if I have to leave New York city would be the Life of the City; The People; The impression of haste in everyone, and the constant Noise!

See the business district at rush hour, people are not walking, they are literally running to get the bus, the subway, etc. The Ellis Island Museum of Immigration is not as popular as the Liberty Statue but a lot more interesting. Twelve million people passed through this immigration center between 1892 and 1954. The Museum shows exhibits and films about the emigrants experience.

Walk around and enjoy, there is so much to see everywhere - most people are very friendly even if they look so busy. Join the crowd and make your way up to the top of a skyscraper - the Empire State building is great, the World Trade Center is even better - try to count the yellow taxies and stay there when it gets dark and watch the city lights.
The titanic Dog
by csordila
Jeff Koons's highly recognizable dog named Puppy - a symbol of "love, warmth and happiness" - has been exhibited in the U.S. for the first time above Manship's Prometheus in the sunken plaza in front of the Rockefeller Plaza, overlooking the Channel Gardens in July 2000.
First created in 1992 for a temporary exhibition in the city of Arolson/Germany. Rising more then 13 meter, the sculpture was constructed from steel armatures to hold over 25 tons of soil and an internal irrigation system. Over 50,000 flowering plants grew from this structure, including Petunias, Lobelias, Begonias, Impatiens and other annuals.
Location: Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets.
