1.) The steam used to generate NYC's power plant turbines are further used and piped through many of the older buildings in Manhattan for steam heat. The reason why you see steam rising all over manhattan streets is that water from a recent rain storm or leaky water pipe is falling on these hot steam pipes. the resulting steam then rises to street level.
2.) The world's first power plant, Mr. Edison's, was on Pearl St in Manhattan.
3.) NYC's police headquarters for all 5 boroughs use to be on Centre St in Little Italy / Nolita. The massive ornate building was later converted to residential cooperative apartments.
4.) The first subway stop at City Hall, which is no longer used as a station, is still used by the MTA to turn the #6 train around when it ends its route at Brooklyn Bridge.
5.) Tiffany, Saks fifth and many of the high end retailers were all located around the shopping mecca called the "million dollar corner" at 34th / Broadway. They were also next to Macy's and two other major department stores (both at the corner of 5th / 34th Street). As the city grew north, the affluence did too.
6.) St. Patrick Cathedral when it was first being built, was considered Uptown, and was largely the outskirts of the city. The construction had to stop for the civil war, after they commence and finished the Cathedral, the city had grown and it was then considered 'midtown'.

When you see distance measured in miles to NYC - the exact spot to which that is measured is the statue of Columbus in the middle of Columbus Circle.

The top of the Empire State Building has a landing pad...for blimps! The building is topped by a mooring mast for dirigibles, which were the latest trend in air travel in 1931.

Underneath Grand Central Terminal, there are secret networks of underground tracks, steam-pipe tunnels, and storage areas. Hidden in these underground depths is a train platform with a secret entrance and an elevator straight up to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

1) it has five boroughs
2) It was originally known as New Amsterdam
3) The statue of liberty is like a welcoming beacon for all the migrants.
4) There is a large focus on community whether it is Jewish, African American, Italian and lately, an influx of Eastern Europeans.
And finally 5) Its probably one of the most exciting cities in the world despite the tragic 9/11 incident.

Why is NYC Called the Big Apple?
In the 1920s, a sportswriter for the Morning Telegraph named John Fitzgerald overheard stablehands in New Orleans refer to NYC's racetracks as "the Big Apple." He named his column "Around the Big Apple." A decade later, jazz musicians adopted the term to refer to New York City, and especially Harlem, as the jazz capital of the world. There are many apples on the trees of success, they were saying, but when you pick New York City, you pick the big apple.

The Bronx: How Swede It is
The Bronx was settled in 1639 and is named for the Swedish settler Jonas Bronck. There are more than 60 landmarks and historic districts in the Bronx, including the Edgar Allen Poe Cottage on the Grand Concourse and the stately Van Cortlandt House Museum in Van Cortlandt Park.


Why Cabs Are Yellow
John Hertz, who founded the Yellow Cab Company in 1907, chose yellow because he had read a study conducted by the University of Chicago that indicated it was the easiest color to spot.

Where the Famous Go to Rest
Green-Wood Cemetery, in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, is one of the world’s most beautiful cemeteries. With a spectacular harbor view and 478 acres filled with trees and flowering shrubs, Green-Wood is the eternal resting place of a who’s who of famous folks, including Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Morse, F.A.O Schwartz, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Charles Tiffany, and "Boss" Tweed.

Looking for Main Street?
You won’t find it in Manhattan. There is, however, a Main Street in each of the other boroughs and on Roosevelt Island.

A City of Islands
Manhattan and Staten Island are islands; Queens and Brooklyn are on the western tip of Long Island. So, of New York City’s five boroughs, only the Bronx is part of the mainland. However, there is an island that ‘s part of the Bronx and yet feels like a New England fishing village: City Island, a marine-related community offering fishing, boating, and a wide range of restaurants and snack bars.

Statue of Liberty Stats
The Lady in the Harbor is 101 feet tall from base to torch, 305 feet tall from pedestal foundation to torch. She has a 35-foot waist and an 8-foot index finger, and she weighs 450,000 pounds.

Did you know…?
There are 6,374.6 miles of streets in New York City.

There are many many more, I love love love NYC!!!!! hope this helps!!!

Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.
Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.
However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?
The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.
Learning a profitable trading strategy is possible, You should watch this presentation video https://tr.im/d0306
It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option

It’s not really all that much different here compared to NYC, and in some ways it’s still quite expensive. For every $100 you spend in NYC, you have to spend $72.49 for rent, $96.74 for groceries, and $100.13 for restaurant bills in Brooklyn. Add them all up, and you’re going to have to spend $84.10 here in Brooklyn for every $100 you spend in New York.

A 3-course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant will cost $75, a pound of chicken breasts sells for $5.02, a gallon of gas costs $3.22, and a fitness club membership costs $43.33 a month.

The average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the city center is $2,428 and for a 3-bedroom it’s $4,150. Outside the center, a 1-bedroom goes for $1,619 and a 3-bedroom is for $2,600. To buy an apartment, it’s for $1,199 per square feet in the city center and $600 outside.

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.
