Discoveries America New York DVD
For many, New York City is the
center of the universe. Global headquarters for some of the world’s most
distinguished corporations and home of the United Nations, New York Stock
Exchange, theaters, museums, subways and so much more - there’s no place
on earth quite like the Big Apple. Most people first think of the hustle
and bustle of New York City, but forget there are also neighborhoods,
farmers markets and of course, Central Park that give the city
personality. At 2am the Fulton Fish Market is a bustling center of
commerce with a community of vendors that love what they do. “Tribute”
created after 9/11, is a multi-media events space and high tech museum
that celebrates the power, creativity and resilience of the city. A tour
of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Immigration Museum reminds what
America is all about and the thousands of immigrants who came to this
country to begin new lives. The apple orchards of the Hudson Valley are
where the Big Apple claimed its name and the mounded apple pie from
Tantillo’s Fruit Stand is pretty big too. Down the road, the historic
Huguenot village of New Paltz has buildings from several centuries all on
one street. Everything from miniatures to monuments can be cast at Tallix
Art Foundry where artists come to bring their works of sculpture to life.
Saratoga Springs is a proud and prosperous community that has managed to
preserve an aura of sophistication and fine living through its mineral
springs and horse racing. The largest state park in USA, Adirondack State
Park with over 6 million acres. So remote an area, Old Forge Mail Boat
delivers to some lakeside residents. The Erie Canal was once a major
transportation artery between New York City and the Great Lakes. Its Locks
are still functional and in great shape due to the diligent efforts of the
lock keepers. They keep coming back for more! Home made cookies at the Fly
By Night Cookie Company keep Bonnie Bridson busy in the kitchen. A journey
through this diverse state would not be complete without a visit to
Niagara Falls including a ride on the “Maid of the Mists” tour boat to get
up close and personal with the amazing falls…and fireworks over Manhattan
is a sight to behold.
