|
New York City And The Greeks From Syria to Greece is not a very long journey. It can be made overland or by sea. The route I took was the land route, although the sea route is just as fascinating, and perhaps even shorter. |
|

|

|

|
New York City And The French When one says France one generally means Paris, though to the initiated many the two things are far from synonymous. |
|
New York City And The Germans Forgetting that almost a sixth of the population of this country is of German extraction, we have gone on ranting, school-boy fashion. The friends of the Germans exaggerated their cultural value, and their enemies disparaged it. |
|
New York City And The Hungarians The Hungarian district takes a bit of Second Avenue as its main street, from Ninth Street to Eighteenth and Nineteenth Streets, and then, extending eastward, it sinks below the lower avenues, A and B, and with few interruptions runs along in the same way to Sixtieth Street. |
|
New York City And The Czechs Up to the beginning of the war, if any one had asked where Czechoslovakia was in Europe, even the best student of geography would have looked at his questioner doubting his sanity. |
|
New York City And The Polish Poles came to New York virtually as early as the Jews. In 1659 the Dutch colonists of Manhattan hired a Polish schoolmaster for the education of the youth of the community. |
|
New York City And The Armenians In 1863 there were about ten Armenians in America, six of whom lived in New York City. In 1875 there were about seventy, all living in New York. |
|
New York City And Scotland Statistics show that there are some fifty-four thousand people of Scotland in this city. According to the number of people of Scotch origin one meets here, there, and every-where, there seem to be fully ten times that number. |
|
New York City Nitelife NEW YORK has been called a great many things... Those of us who live by and with New York, to whom the Metropolis gives pleasure as well as a livelihood, do not think of it in any such terms. |
|
New York City - The Old Time Restaurants ORDINARIES, coffee houses, taprooms, cafes, pubs, cabarets, speakeasies, or restaurants under whatever name, have been important in New York history from its very beginnings. |

|

|
New York City - The Cabarets The Latin Quarter, located in a triangular building on W. 48th St. that is sandwiched in between Broad-way and Seventh Ave., is the oldest and, with only two exceptions, the last of the great, glittering cabarets that once lined Broadway. |

|
New York City - The Broadway Beat Lindy's, at Broadway and 51st St., noted for its place in the life of Damon Runyon, whose characters still frequent the spot; its cheesecake; and its very independent waiters who have their own notion of what you should eat and don't hesitate to tell you. |
|

|

|
Greenwich Village GREENWICH Village is described in the dignified American Guide series as the Latin Quarter, the Bohemia of New York, where Free Love, Freudianism, Socialism, imagist poetry and fads of all shades have waxed and waned. |
