hopefully it will give you another

political capital of black new York. the character

of the community changed in the years after the war, as middle-class blacks left

for the outer boroughs (primarily the Bronx,

Queens and Brooklyn) and suburbs. the notorious

reputation of harlem in the

i’ve explored a little bit of new York so far by

foot, it has mainly been midtown and Downtown and i hadn’t gone further than the top of central

Park. so, after three days from my arrival in the

city, i was determined to experience as many of

the unique communities of new York as i possible

could. so, i headed to harlem.

harlem, after all, used to be the embodiment

of American urban decay. with the people calling themselves new negroes. with the job

losses in the time of the great Depression and the deindustrialization of new York city after

world war ii, rates of crime and poverty

increased significantly. the neighbourhood

began to deteriorate into a slum. in the post-world war ii era, harlem ceased to be home to a majority

of nYc’s blacks, but it remained the cultural and

seventies and consequent refusal of many taxi

drivers to enter the area wasn’t unwarranted. harlem was ruled by organized crime – the

movie American gangster is focused on the drug trade centred here in

the seventies, which is considered its worst

period. in the movie there were thirty thousand drug

addicts then estimated to live in new York city, twenty thousand lived in harlem. Property crime was pervasive, and the

murder rate was six times higher than new York’s average. But this didn’t last forever. harlem is

pretty much a safe area now. i personally did not see any gangs, slums or ‘bums’. come the end of the drug war in the mid seventies and crime in

harlem has plummeted. now we can enjoy the statue of martin Luther King, theatres, galleries and nice looking coffee

shops.

i am used to european cities, for their

clear information, architecture, and clear locations of

key objects of mass culture, billeting and

catering. in new York, the traveller

will be disappointed. there is a main street

called the main street. in parallel, it usually goes market

street. there are first, second, third etc.

that go perpendicular to the streets. there

is nothing else. A question that intrigued me, to which i could not find the answer

to, was why the traffic lights show a go sign

in a white light? could this be a subconscious

reference to the fact that white men discovered America and then they killed

all the different darker colour skinned

people?

this order declared that all tall buildings should

have ledges. the rule was accepted by parliament to settle the dissatisfied

citizens living in the shadows so that the sun

could shine on them.

that decree had a great influence on architecture

throughout the world, including Moscow’s

skyscrapers. however, in Moscow there were no

complaints regarding that.

The

the Bronx is quite a big area, which is predominantly residential. there is no big industry here. Geographically the Bronx can be divided into southern, eastern and

western. northern Bronx is a bit like a suburb with its small houses. riverdale and williams Bridge are full of those houses. east Bronx is designed for wealthy

people. parkchester and coop city surprisingly breathtaking with their residential high-rise buildings. in the south Bronx, there is even a slum - they call it Mott

haven, hunts point and Morrisania. B

Brighton Beach rose to prominence in the 70’s when immigrants from the former

soviet union began to settle there, mainly from russia and the ukraine. the Local District counts approximately

100,000 inhabitants. Brighton Beach is famous worldwide for its concert halls, cafes and restaurants. the area has many cultural centres

of the russian community; among them are the editorial russian-language newspapers, radio stations, tv studios, recreational centres, schools and the

vast russian infrastructure. today, wealthy people from Brighton Beach settle in the prestigious suburbs of new York, miami and Los Angeles, however, the area remains the most popular place of residence for russian immigrants. Designed by

william engemanom back in 1868, Brighton Beach was conceived as a holiday resort.

As a result of a competition for the best name for this area, arranged in 1878 by henry murphy, Brighton Beach won the medal. the place was named after the resort town

in england. At the site of modern coney island Avenue in the heart of the former Boardwalk elite hotel was located. where in 1878 it was the railway, now it is a part of the new York metropolitan. the merger of the Brighton Beach railway

with the urban lines significantly increased interest in this area and the living residential area. the great Depression of 1932 gathered a lot of

poor people from other areas of new York and relocated them to Brighton Beach. though in subsequent years, Brighton Beach

started to restore its former position, and the massive influx of russian immigrants only contributed

to this process. in the russian deli shop in Brooklyn i often hear, badly distorted

english names when for example potatoes and turkey are called

“putathooz” and “tyurki”. however, mr.galickij (shop owner) says that new wave of immigrants prefer to use english words in the russian dialect. “nobody

says “indejka” (turkey) anymore, or “morozhenoe” (ice

cream) which is right way to communicate in russian.

The area is very inTeresTing, aT leasT To me. you can buy docTor’s sausages

in bulk from a seller named larisa and in The nexT kiosk a loaf of bread jusT for a dollar from

kaTerina. The russian communiTy is very noTiceable because

of The parTicular way people dress

and how They behave; even The

way They walk. one would Think ThaT

people should speak russian afTer 60 years of being in

us, buT no. russians are like parasiTes,

They infecT all Those around Them and

in The end everyone will speak russian. on The sTreeTs They speak russian, sell russian shoes, and

newspapers. The same ads ThaT are in manhaTTan are

people started to bring english words into the russian vernacular on purpose. it is easier to communicate this way. now the streets of Brighton Beach are speaking so-called runglish. it is a mixture of russian and english

languages, which distinguishes the pronunciation of english words, distorted by the russian accent.

close to any puBlic place (like a park for example) hangs a notice sign, warning people

that the place is closed from a certain time to a certain time. however, nothing is actually closed. though if someone were to appear there at the specified times on

the notice, they could Be arrested on legal grounds. i guess it’s good for society.

however it’s one of those things that make me say that there really is no freedom in america.

or maybe It’s all just a made uP story, and tHat Was HIs Way of makIng

tHe fInancIal dIstrIct Is full of PeoPle at 10Pm. taverns and restaurants,

now. this is the place i have always wanted to visit. Five years of waiting and

now i’m out of the subway and i can’t

believe my eyes. skyscrapers. lights

and colours and crowds of americans rapidly moving along the sidewalks. loud sounds of the city, american speech.

the first two days i was walking with my

examine the people and the roads; they are quite different

from those in london and Moscow. Manhattan is elegant, from the people living there to the buildings.

coney island is undoubtedly the most amazing area of Brooklyn. i can’t say enough about it. strictly speaking i cannot say anything at all. i have no certain phrases or

words left in my vocabulary about this area and its people. i just love it. Before, i did not understand how people could

stare at the sea for hours on end. But now i find myself sitting on the cold soft ground watching for cars brushing

the blown away sand.

for all of times that i’ve been in museums, only this one left me with

a positive feeling. the museum is divided into 3 floors; each floor is also divided into several specific

sections. each of these sections are devoted to a particular aspect of film or animation. in the museum there are not only security guards, but also guiders that show and tell stories of how cinema works, and

why certain things exist. this is time spent superbly for any man on earth. only 10 bucks and i’ve got a certain

impression about cinema. And i finally realized how natalie Portman actually had sex with herself in the

movie, Black swan.

Brooklyn is very loud because of the subway trains. the vibrations are boomed out as the trains pass overhead on the iron bridge, at a height of twenty meters above the ground. even at this distance, it’s

impossible to hear the person next to you speaking as if they were in a market in india.

Brooklyn, with it’s population of two

Manhattan’s - the largest by population district of new york. Many of Brooklyn’s visitors do

not venture further than the elegant Brooklyn

my opinion, the sights of Brooklyn certainly

deserve more scrutiny.

neither the london Underground nor the Metro in Moscow quite compares.

it almost feels as if the thick musty air down in the tunnels carries some magic dust along with it, making you feel dizzy

and overwhelmed by the bustling life.

the metro is vast and merciless. the subway lines are twice less than the

underground lines of London, yet they pass through the city agilely and have so many branches. the widths of the rails are standardized on all subway lines; so

different trains can use a single platform. it is, however, incredibly easy to get

confused, miss a stop or go in the opposite direction. But should you do any of these mistakes, you’re bound to find a live Jazz

quartet jovially playing their tunes, among the throngs of people.

long, rumBling trains consisting of many

carriages containing all sorts of people.

not surprising that almost every

person on the suBway is sitting with

headphones clamped onto their ears,

listening to music, regardless of what age, gender or race.

there’s something touching aBout the

new york suBway.

each block has five coffee shops and pizzerias, which serves excellent italian coffee and

paninis. such “small” italies have become an integral part of the

urban landscape of emigration. in the us it was a kind of analogue

chinese chinatown or Latin American Barrio. the popularity

of the italian neighbourhoods over the time were granted for

famous and relatively fine italian restaurants and fashion able

boutiques.

also for the less attractive side - the dirt, poverty, high crime, lack of education of the general population and the dominance

of the mafia. in little italy appeared such popular

styles like american playboy, spanish macho, etc.).

it looks like a garden city, the townships now known as the “seven

sisters”. the most attractive of the “sisters” should proBaBly Be

Queens is the first place in new York that

is usually visited by the tourists. Queens is home to the airports of John f. Kennedy and La guardia. But i am fortunate enough to arrive in new Jersey, so i visited Queens

only a couple of days later. it is the largest

district of the city with a population of about 2 million, which includes communities such as italians and middle

eastern Arabs, Jews and immigrants from

Asia, the spaniards and Afro-Americans.

Most residential areas were built up during the natural growth of the city; however, Queens has seven specially designed

residential districts, which includes parks

and recreational facilities.
