You got it, Toyota! eh The East Village! Had you visited during your last stomp?eh -D, NYC "I think in terms of quality and diversity, NY is the restaurant capital of the world. In terms of price, NY is the most expensive dining city in the US" - TIMOTHY ZAGAT (CEO/founder of The Zagat Guides/Surveys), interview on BLOOMBERG (4th Jewish Mayor of NY) TELEVISION.."On November 1, 1683, the British formed Kings (aka Brooklyn) & Queens Counties, naming the regions in honor of England's King Charles II and his wife, Catherine of Braganza" - LITTLE BIG BOOK OF NEW YORK.."Named Heere Street (High Street) by the Dutch, Broadway was one of two main trading routes leading north from the tip of lower Manhattan. During the American Revolution, British and American troops traveled and fought along it" - IBID.."The statue of King George III in Bowling Green was destroyed by riots in 1776, melted down, and turned into musket balls used to fire against the British during the Revolutionary War" - IBID.."On July 9, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to General Washington's troops in New York" - IBID.."New York City was briefly the US capital from 1789 to 1790" -IBID.."Central Park is home to 25M visitors a year - 250,000 on a spring weekend. All the pedestrian paths in CP add up to 58 miles. There are 800 species of birds in North America - 275 of them can be seen in CP. The northern end of CP was the site of a series of fortifications for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Since 1908, more than 175 movies have contained scenes in CP. CP is 843 acres - a larger area than the principality of Monaco - and contains more than 500,000 trees and shrubs. CP's Mall, culminating at Bethesda Terrace, was envisioned by Olmstead and Vaux as the "grand promenade" for park visitors to see and be seen. It was the only formal architectural design element in the park. In 1961 and 1965 respectively, the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic began giving free concerts in the park. Shakespeare in the park started in 1962." - IBID.."As one of the greatest American Universities, Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States" - COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NYC.."In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi, who moved from Naples to Little Italy in 1905, opened the nation's first licensed pizzeria, Lombardi's Coal Oven Pizzaria Napoletana, on Spring Street, using his grandfather's dough recipe. New York invented the pizza parlor-style pizza by serving slices instead of a whole pie, and allowing customers to watch bakers in the front of the store instead of hiding them in the back. The art of making pizza dough is a New York City attraction in itself. It wasn't until the 1960s that pizza bakers first began twirling and tossing dough for an audience. New York City has more pizzerias than any other American city" - LITTLE BIG BOOK OF NEW YORK.."If you're eating a bagel that is perfectly round, with a symmetrical hole smack dab in the center, then you are not eating an authentic New York City bagel. Bagels are boiled and then baked to produce a crispy outer crust and a chewy inside, and never have a uniform shape. New York City bagels are said to be different (and better!) than all other bagels because the quality of New York City water creates a specific consistency unlike that produced in all other regions. The world "bagel" is thought to derive from the Yiddish "beygel," and the German "bugel," meaning a round loaf of bread. Whatever the history, whatever the topping, a bagel is the ultimate New York City breakfast food. - IBID .."An Egg Cream is a New York specialty that has been around since the 1930s. Contrary to what the name suggests, there is no egg in an egg cream. When made properly, it has a foamy froth on top that resembles beaten egg" - IBID.."Chop Suey is based on a Cantonese term for "odds and ends" or "mixed pieces" and a dish that does not exist in China. There are numerous theories regarding the origins of Chop Suey. The most widely accepted is that the dish was created in New York City in 1896 when Chinese ambassador Li Hung Chang was sent by the Chinese Emperor to meet with President Grover Cleveland to strengthen US/China relations. When Chang threw a party, his personal cook prepared a bland meal, reminiscent of a Chinese-style dish, to satisfy both the American and Chinese palates" - IBID.."What made it (Trattoria Dell'Arte, 900 7th Avenue & 57th Street) so awesome was our waitress, Briana, who's a great singer," the star of "Harry Potter" says of this Midtown Italian. "Each time she brought a different course, she acted out the dishes, singing the praises of each type of food." Briana may have been offering a special service, since this is not one of those Broadway-area restaurants that advertises its singing waiters. But she certainly made an impression. "She put on a great show," says the 14-year-old Radcliffe. "On top of that, I had the best-tasting 16-ounce steak." - DANIEL RADCLIFFE, actor, star of Harry Potter, as told to sweet Neil Rosen's "My Favorite Place," NY Post, May 29th, 2004).."If food were a competitive sport, New York City would have more gold medals than anywhere else in the world" - TRACY NIEPORENT, Myriad Restaurant Group/NYC & Company Restaurant Committee Chair.."New Yorkers spend $11 billion a year eating out, making NY the restaurant capital of the world" - JANE'S NY: RESTAURANTS (NBC 4 NY - Studio 6B at at Rockefeller Center - NBC World Headuarters, hub of broadcasting: home to Dateline, Nightly News with Brian Williams, SNL, The Today Show, Late Night With Conan O'Brien |
