The Westin New York Grand Central Hotel

The Westin New York Grand Central is a 40-story, 800-room business-oriented hotel approximately two blocks west of the United Nations headquarters and a little more than one block east of Grand Central Terminal in New York City, New York. History The hotel was designed by Emery Roth & Sons and opened on February 18, 1981, as The Harley of New York - A Helmsley Hotel. Constructed by New York developer Harry Helmsley, the hotel's name was a combination of his own first name and that of his famous wife, Leona Helmsley. They co-owned the hotel with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The Helmsleys attended the opening, along with Mayor Ed Koch, but the inaugural luncheon that day was marred by an accidental fire, which necessitated the evacuation of the entire hotel and required 23 people to be treated for smoke inhalation. The Helmsleys purchased Hospitality Inns from Standard Oil of Ohio in 1981, renaming them to create a nationwide Harley Hotels chain of 27 properties, with the New York hotel as the flagship. Following a renovation, the hotel was renamed The New York Helmsley in November 1985. Soon after Harry's death, Leona sold the remaining hotels in the Harley chain to a Philadelphia investment group in 1998 for $40 million. After Leona's death in 2007, her estate sold The New York Helmsley Hotel to Host Hotels & Resorts in 2011 for $313.5 million. The new owners contracted with Westin Hotels to manage the property, following an 18-month closure for a $75 million renovation, and the hotel became The Westin New York Grand Central on October 1, 2012. It was sold again on January 11, 2019, to Davidson Kempner Capital Management for $302 million. They plan to renovate it at a cost of $20 million and keep it under the Westin flag.

The World (nightclub)

The World was a nightclub, located at 254 East 2nd Street in the East Village neighborhood of the Manhattan borough of New York City, United States. The venue, which operated from the early 1980s until 1991, was housed in a former catering hall and theater. It included a secondary establishment called "The It Club". History and operations The World attracted a clientele that was economically, racially, and sexually diverse, and included artists, celebrities, and fashion designers, including Keith Haring, Afrika Bambaataa, Madonna, Brooke Shields, Prince, Stephen Sprouse, RuPaul, and Carolina Herrera, together with banjee boys and members of voguing houses. An early incubator of New York's house music and club-kid scenes, The World helped launch the careers of several prominent nightlife figures, including Michael Alig, DJ Larry Tee, DJ David Morales, DJ Frankie Knuckles, DJ Kip Lavinger, DJ Zoe B, the Lady Bunny, and Dean Johnson, whose Tuesday night "Rock and Roll Fag Bar" party gave rise to New York's gay rock-and-roll scene. Several big-name music acts also made cameo appearances at The World, including David Bowie, the Beastie Boys, Debbie Harry, The Ramones, Echo & the Bunnymen, Madness, Big Audio Dynamite, Sinéad O'Connor, Public Enemy, Neil Young, The Sugarcubes, Salt-N-Pepa, and Pink Floyd. The World was also used as one of the filming locations for Devo's 1988 music video for the song "Disco Dancer". The World operated largely outside the law, and opened and closed unpredictably. It ceased operations permanently on June 27, 1991, when co-owner Steven Venizelos was found dead in the balcony. He had been shot three times at close range. The murder was never solved. The building that housed The World was subsequently demolished and replaced with an apartment building.

Thendara station

Thendara station is the Adirondack Scenic Railroad's longest-duration northern terminus, and is near Thendara, New York. It is served by trains heading south to Utica beginning around the month of May each year. Trains continue along the 57-mile route along the Moose River in Adirondack Park. In the Winter, the right-of-way is used as a major snowmobile trail in the area after trains stop running in October. The resort village of Old Forge is 1.9 miles northeast of Thendara. The station has been a contributing property of the "Thendara Historic District" since November 10, 2010. History From early in the 20th century until the early 1940s, the New York Central Railroad (NYC) operated multiple passenger trains a day through the station, going beyond Adirondack Park to Malone, New York and on to Montreal. From the 1950s and to 1961 daily there was a day train and a night train in each direction to Lake Placid station. Additionally, the NYC operated sleeping cars direct from New York City to Thendara via the North Star until April 1959. The Iroquois continued direct sleeper service to Thendara to at least the fall 1964 timetable. On April 24, 1965, year-round daily passenger trains ceased serving the station, with the closing of passenger traffic on the NYC's Adirondack Division. References External links Official Website

Third Avenue Bridge (New York City)

The Third Avenue Bridge is a swing bridge that carries southbound road traffic on Third Avenue over the Harlem River, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx in New York City. It once carried southbound New York State Route 1A. On the Manhattan side, the bridge funnels traffic into three locations: East 128th Street; the intersection of East 129th Street and Lexington Avenue; or FDR Drive in Manhattan. The bridge was formerly bidirectional, but converted to one-way operation southbound on August 5, 1941, on the same day the Willis Avenue Bridge was similarly converted to one-way northbound. In 1955, the original multi-truss bridge constructed in 1898 was removed and sold. A rebuilt bridge reopened in December 1956. Reconstruction As part of a major NYCDOT reconstruction project from 2001 to 2005, a new swing span was floated into place on October 29, 2004. Two lanes of Manhattan-bound traffic opened on December 6, 2004, and the remaining three lanes opened in 2005. In addition to replacing the swing span and its machinery, the project included redesigned approach ramps to the bridge on the Bronx side and off the bridge in Manhattan. As reconstructed, the Third Avenue Bridge carries five lanes of Manhattan-bound traffic from the Bronx, which split to three ramps in Manhattan: to East 128th Street and Second Avenue; to Lexington Avenue and East 129th Street; and to FDR Drive. For 2011, the New York City Department of Transportation, which operates and maintains the bridge, reported an average daily traffic volume of 59,603; the bridge reached a peak ADT of 73,121 in 2000. Between 2000 and 2014, the bridge opened for vessels 93 times, including 60 times in 2007. On July 8, 2024, during the 2024 North America heat waves, the bridge suffered from heat expansion and got stuck in the open position, so vehicles could not cross it. The New York City Fire Department sprayed water onto the bridge to cool it down. Public transportation The Third Avenue Bridge carries the M125 bus route operated by MTA New York City Transit. The route's average weekday ridership is 19,951. TV documentary Discovery Channel contracted Barner-Alper Productions of Toronto to produce an episode of Mega-Builders, titled "Spanning the Harlem", about the work leading up to the float-in of the swing span. It first aired in 2005 in Canada on Discovery Canada.

Pont de Third Avenue

Le pont de Third Avenue (en anglais : Third Avenue Bridge) est un pont reliant les arrondissements du Bronx et de Manhattan à New York. La structure actuelle a remplacé, en 2005, l'ancien pont construit il y a 100 ans environ. Le pont a été récompensé, dans la même année 2005, par l'Alliance nationale de pont d'acier. Dilatation thermique à cause d'un dôme de chaleur Le lundi 8 juillet 2024, vers 14h45, le pont a été bloqué à cause de la dilatation thermique de l'acier. Ce jour-là, la ville subissait un fort dôme de chaleur. Dans l'optique de rétablir la fonction du pont, plusieurs bateaux de l'unité fluviale ont été mobilisés, pour refroidir la structure en l'arrosant. Finalement, la circulation des voitures a été rétablie vers 18h30. Aucune victime n'a été enregistrée. Notes et références Portail des ponts Portail de l’océan Atlantique Portail de New York
Thomas Moran House

The Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran House is a historic house museum at 229 Main Street in East Hampton, New York. Built in 1884, it was the home of Mary Nimmo Moran and Thomas Moran, both accomplished painters of the nineteenth century. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 for its association with Thomas Moran, the first major painter to bring scenes of the American West to the rest of the country. The house has been restored and opened to the public by reservation under the care of the East Hampton Historical Society. Description and history The Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran House stands in the village of East Hampton, on the west side of Main Street between Woods Lane and Mill Hill Lane. It is an eclectic two-story frame structure, built in 1884 by Thomas Moran using predominantly recycled construction materials. The main room in the house, which dominates the front facade was Thomas Moran's studio. It is a large and airy room with 20-foot ceilings where Moran completed many of his works. Moran entertained many visitors and fellow artists in his home, including J. Thompson and Robert Wood. The house was the Morans' primary residence from 1884 until Thomas' death in 1926. He and Mary are buried in the South Side Cemetery by the Town Pond. The house remained privately owned until 2004 when its owner Elizabeth Lamb died and left it to the owners of Guild Hall (East Hampton's cultural center dedicated in 1931 which is several blocks from the Moran House). The house had fallen into considerable disrepair. In June 2008, the house was transferred to the Thomas Moran Trust in order to raise funds for the restoration of the structure. That restoration was finished in early 2018. See also List of National Historic Landmarks in New York National Register of Historic Places listings in Suffolk County, New York References
Thomas Youngs House

Thomas Youngs House is a historic home located at Pittsford in Monroe County, New York, United States. It was originally built in 1818 as a 1+1⁄2-story frame dwelling. It was substantially enlarged in 1830 with the addition of a 2+1⁄2-story, Federal-style gable-roofed main block. The structure was moved to its present location in 1982; it was originally located 22 miles east on New York State Route 21 in the town of Marion, in Wayne County, New York. The house was a prominent stop in the Underground Railway in the days of slavery. Escaped slaves came up from the South, some using the Erie Canal. Leaving the canal at Palmyra, they made their way north to Pultneyville, where they boarded boats for Canada. Many apparently stopped at the Youngs's house. Beside the fireplace in the back bedroom is what appears to be a small cupboard for storing wood. In reality however it is a considerable space, and for short periods at least, could be used to hide as many as eight or ten persons. The builder was Thomas Youngs, who had moved into the area in the 1790s from New Jersey. He had married Phebe Durfee, a member of a prominent family from Tiverton, Rhode Island, just east of Newport, near the Massachusetts border. It is said that the family made the move in 1791 as a group of 31, including freed slaves. They settled in and around Palmyra. Youngs and members of the Durfee family bought land in Marion. Youngs apparently prospered first as a farmer, and then apparently built a mill, and finally began to serve as a banker in the area. In 1818 he built what is now the south wing of the house. It was a story-and-a-half cottage. In 1830 he had prospered sufficiently to build the main portion of the house, which was a substantial home for the era and surprisingly urban. The south wing was used for many years only for storage, but was converted early in the 20th century into an apartment. A fire in this wing in about 1960 resulted in many changes in the wing's interior. The chimney and mantel in the south end of the large room are probably much as they were originally, with a cooking fireplace in the basement. Except for the kitchen, which was probably Youngs's business office, the main portion of the house is unchanged. A portion of the east wing was probably a summer kitchen. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. References
Thompson’s Lake State Park

Thompson’s Lake State Park ist ein State Park im Gebiet des Albany County, New York. Geographie Der Statepark liegt im Gemeindegebiet von East Berne und umfasst 308 acre (1,25 km²) in zwei getrennten Arealen. Ein Areal erstreckt sich vom Nordwestufer des namensgebenden Thompson’s Lake nach Norden und das zweite Areal schließt sich direkt nördlich an den John Boyd Thacher State Park an der Kante des Helderberg Escarpment an, welches sich steil aus dem Hudson Valley erhebt. Zwischen den beiden Arealen befindet sich die Town of Knox. Das Parkgebiet liegt bis auf kleine Bereiche auf der Höhe des Helderberg Plateaus in Höhen zwischen 396 m und 426 m über dem Meer. Am Nordende des Thompson’s Lake befindet sich auch das Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center, das erst 2001 eingerichtet wurde. Geologie Das Helderberg Plateau besteht aus Sedimenten des Devon und ist eine der Fossil-reichsten Lagerstätten in den Vereinigten Staaten. Die Felsschichten sind nach Nordosten angehoben und bilden verschiedene Stufen, denen auch der Verlauf der Gewässer folgt. Im Umkreis liegen mehrere Seen und Sumpfgebiete. Nur wenige hundert Meter weiter westlich liegt ein weiterer kleiner See mit dem Schutzgebiet Canada Geese. Dieser See entwässert in den Thompson’s Lake und von da aus laufen die Abfluss-Bäche zur Kante des Helderberg Escarpment, wo sie in steilen Schluchten und Wasserfällen in die Ebene des Hudson Valley stürzen. Einrichtungen Thompson’s Lake State Park hat einen Badestrand, einen Spielplatz und Sportfelder, Picknick-Plätze, sowie einen Nature Trail und bietet Möglichkeiten zum Angeln und Eisangeln, eine Bootsrampe, einen Campingplatz für Zelte und Wohnmobile, und Möglichkeiten zum Cross-country Skilaufen und Snowshoeing. Im Parkgebiet liegt auch die Knox District School No. 5, ein historisches Gebäude im National Register of Historic Places (Seit 2005). Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center Im Nature Center ist ein geologisches Modell des Helderberg Escarpment zu sehen, sowie ein Schau-Bienenstock und es gibt Vogelbeobachtungsstationen und Erlebnisstationen zu Fossilien, Fellen und anderen Naturphänomenen. Wanderwege führen vom Nature Center zum See durch Waldland und Weiden. Das Zentrum bietet auch Programme für Schulklassen, Jugendgruppen und Vereine an.

Thornden Park

Thornden Park is a 76-acre (31 ha) park in Syracuse, New York, United States, which is the second largest in the city after Burnet Park. It was purchased by the city in 1921 and has become a favorite wedding location in the Syracuse park system. It is located in Westcott, and borders the University and University Hill neighborhoods. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 as part of the Historic Designated Landscapes of Syracuse, New York. History Thornden Park began as a farm owned by Zebulon Ostrom, who sold it to a wealthy salt miner James P. Haskins around 1850. In 1921 the city purchased the land as part of the nationwide City Beautiful movement and added recreational features such as the ballfields and swimming pool. During the 1960s, budget cuts threatened the cleanliness of the park; these were countered by neighborhood initiatives. The 1970s brought Dutch elm disease, which killed approximately 600 elm trees in the park. Maple trees were planted as replacements. The Thornden Park Association was founded in 1983 to advocate for, restore and revitalize the park. Mills Rose Garden One of the more popular attractions in the park is the E. M. Mills Memorial Rose Garden, dedicated in 1924 on 2 acres (8,100 m2) at the southwest entrance to the park, across Ostrom Avenue from Syracuse University. Since 1970, the Syracuse Rose Society has maintained the garden in cooperation with the City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs. Currently, the garden hosts 368 different varieties of roses (3850 plants in all) that surround a central gazebo. Amphitheater Originally named Sylvn Theatre, Thornden Park's amphitheater was built in 1933. The opening day ceremony was rained out but the subsequent opening was attended by 10,000 people. It is built to seat 6,000 people in its concentric rings and open lawn in the middle of the amphitheater. The Syracuse Opera puts on a free show the first Sunday in August each year. Since 2003, the Syracuse Shakespeare Festival has presented its free, Shakespeare-in-the-Park program, currently the first two weekends of June.
