But the words to these songs tell only part of the story of New York. While there are the wealthy – the businessmen, the stock market investors, and the fashion designers – the poor also walk the streets of New York. Protector of the lady in New York Harbor, native New Yorkers have watched their city act as host to many immigrants. And to many, the Statue of Liberty has meant a new life. To others, the lady on Ellis Island stands as a symbol for dreams that slipped away. Certainly the city of New York is a collection of ethnic and financial diversity, from the mansions of Park Avenue to the black and Spanish Harlem areas. Yet in the big picture of metropolitan urbanity, New York still “melts little town blues” in more hearts than Frank’s. A port city by way of the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean, New York economy thrives on opportunities afforded the city because of shipping and water recreation. New York City is a center for world trade, investment, printing and publication, communications, the arts, and fashion. Many of the country’s television and radio networks headquarter there as well. In a cruel act, New York was pummeled by terrorists who crashed planes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The city that never sleeps awoke to bedlam and despair. Countless lives were lost. But count New York as surviving. The “New York state of mind” is a hard thing to crush. Though a melting pot of people from many walks of life, they are all “New Yorkers.” The rich and the homeless, the white and the black, the fashion expert and the stock investor will band together – and the lady in the harbor will watch as New Yorkers rebuild the skyline city. Botanical research – New York Botanical Garden is a leading center of botanical research. Railroad Beginnings – Home to New York Central Railroad Company, one of the first US railroads that connected the East Coast with the rest of the country. Boroughs – New York has counties and boroughs. Do you know the difference? |

Measure out the third cup of flour. Sprinkle some flour on a wooden cutting board. Also flour hands. Remove all dough from bowl and transfer to wooden surface. Knead the dough, working in the third cup of flour a little at a time. Knead until no raw flour remains. Wash hands. Lightly coat 2-quart bowl with vegetable oil. Roll the ball of dough around in the bowl to coat it with a film of oil. Leave dough in bowl, tightly sealing the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in a warm place. Dough will double in size.
