| As a native, there is nothing more uniquely New York city to me than the wooden water tanks that top every building old or new. Timeless icons that seem to hold in their classic shape and natural material the connection from the past City to its present incarnation. One feels a certain nostalgic charm and sense of security when gazine at them in clusters or as single sentinels set against the New York sky. by Jacqueline Joy Sferra The widest part of Manhattan lies in the area between cobble-stoned Canal Street and Fourteenth Streets. Today this section of city blocks: Canal, Houston and Delancey streets is crowded and raucous but still the most ethnically diverse area of the city. |
There are two types of thoroughfares in the city. Avenues run from north to south, streets from east to west. The spine of the city is Fifth Avenue, going from Washington Square all the way up to Harlem. Fifth Avenue still remains modern New York's backbone. From north to south a journey up this avenue is a journey from the turn of the century to the present day. |
