Big Apple Dreaming

Chrysler Building Midtown Manhattan,New York City 1932

The Chrysler Building is one of the best known building in New York City build in 1930. It is really beautiful building with his own history. At that when it was building, there was a big competition who to build the world's highest building in New York City. In 1930—1931 it was highest building in New York City, 1,200-foot (365.8 m) tall. Sadly, not for long time because in 1931 was built Empire State Building which in the tallest build at this time in NYC.

This amazing building was designed by William Van Alen for a project of Walter P. Chrysler. The Chrysler Building has a lot of art deco details like roof and ornamentation at the crown and is one of the best art deco interpretation in United States.

Hello my blog readers Today I want to show you couple good photos taken by tourist. There you can see picture of the city thru tourists eyes… NYC looks really good in these photos. Actually I love the colors of the photos… it looks like old and new in the same way… What do you think about these photos? By the way New York always look great in the photos….

Chinese New Years in Chinatown, NYC

Chinatown is like small part of Asian continent in the heart of New York City. Chinatown is really special place because here you can feel like you are in China or any other Asian country… but you not in Asian just in Manhattan. So, Chinatown follows all traditions and Chinese New Years isn’t an exception. It is amazing annual celebration which true New Yorkers must visit at least once in their life. That’s one of the reason why I love New York that you can meet very different people and feel other cultures and you even don’t need go out of the city limits… Everything is going on just in your neighborhood…
So, I want to share with you couple pictures from Chinese celebration of Chinese Lunar New Year. Yeah, it is really amazing celebration… What do you think?

Old New York City Portrait

Here is couple pictures of old New York. Actually I would like to live in this old New York rather than in todays New York. Looks like so many things changed… But yeah, this city all times always was popular…
So, take a look…

What do you think about empty New York? We used to see this city with crowds of fast moving people. We know that phrase that “New York never sleeps”… Looks like New York City sometimes sleep… Can you imagine totally empty Manhattan without people in the streets? It looks scary, right? Especially if you see movie like “I am legend”. So, I want to show you “The Trash Lab” team project “Empty America”. This team is creating time lapse videos of USA cities. And here is a video of NYC. Actually, in this video you can see what the zombie apocalypse will look like in the Big Apple.

I bet it’s really hard to make a video of city like New York without any people in the streets. How many hours does it take to create video? Do you have any ideas how did they do that? Manhattan looks like wiped out.

Neighborhoods of Manhattan.

Do you think you know Manhattan well? I found this picture and want to share with you. Check this out! There is all neighborhoods of Manhattan. I really like this picture. Now I know where is TriBeCa and SoHo Or where is Upper East Side of Manhattan where lives Gossip Girl… I would like to live somewhere near Central Park that I could see park through my apartments window…

What is your most favorite part of Manhattan? Or you prefer even different borough of New York City?

New York City skyscrapers view.

Skyscrapers, as we know them today, have only been possible for around 200 years.  Large buildings are nothing new – the Egyptian pyramids, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Tower of Babel are all amazing, tall structures that show how creative mankind can be and how, throughout history, we have been able to fight against the forces of nature and physics.

Skyscrapers, however, are special because they are so tall and yet so narrow. The ancient Egyptians were able to build tall pyramids because they made the bases of the pyramids so broad, and the tips of the buildings were narrower, allowing the weight to spread out across the base.

When American architects attempted to build tall structures in the late 19th century, they soon discovered that the masonry of the day simply wasn’t strong enough to support buildings that were more than seven stories tall.  That all changed when Henry Bessemer came up with a technique for mass-producing steel which could be used to support bigger structures.
