Who Are The New York Residents?

New York City’s old slum neighbourhood, the Five Points, was notoriously known for its vice and crimes. The first organized crime group in New York City was the Forty Thieves which was led by Edward Coleman, started in 1825, in the back of a grocery store. The Dead Rabbits were an Irish gang in the Five Points area, and are most known for the riot they caused in 1857. The Eastman Gang were a Jewish group in the Five Points area, which began in the late nineteenth century, and were the rival of the Five Points Gang. The Five Points Gang was another group, started by Paul Kelly and included future famous mobsters. In Five Points, where most of New York City’s crime started, it also started some of history’s most notorious gangs, and mobsters.

If growing up in New York City has taught me anything, it is the gift of optimism and to never give up on your dreams. Even at twenty two while being withdrawn from university, I am still always learning important new life lessons and new things that improve me, and make me not only stronger as a business person and entrepreneur, but my own humanity and existence as well. Being in my own corner of the country can feel disorienting at times, especially when visiting family in other parts of the states. It feels like you are given a brief glimpse through a window at a completely different way of life, despite being relatively close. I feel the next step to learning more about my self and giving me even more of a strong edge is to complete my

Peter Stuyvesant was a big role in the developing of colonial New York. Peter was born in 1610 in the Netherlands by his parents Margaretha Hartenstein and Balthasar Stuyvesant. His father, Balthasar, was the clergyman of Friesland. Friesland was a province very close to New Netherland. Peter died at age 62 in Manhattan Island, New York in 1672. He got his nickname “Pegleg Peter” because he had to get his right leg amputated after an expedition against the Portuguese

People migrated from the old world to the new world in search of many different things. As they came, so did their different lifestyles and ideas, causing many changes and growths in the New York area. The idea of fur trade attracted many people, increasing sales in the Americas. A group of native Americans, who were nomads, cleared a lot of land making it easier for colonists to create cities. The colonists took this land and cultivated it for farming, which was a new concept in this part of the world. Being that they were farmers, they lived near bodies of water for the resource and because the rivers served as highways. These are four different examples of how New York grew because of the different people living there.

1993...That was the last time the New York Islanders held a 3-2 game series lead in a round of the NHL playoffs (Washington). After winning a game five for the first time in eleven previous tries last night in Sunrise, outlasting the Florida Panthers 2-1 in double overtime, this rag-tag bunch of scrappers look to write their own history in Brooklyn after winning the second longest overtime game in Islanders history.

The 17th-century wrapped up, and what happened next seemed to be something of fiction. Other colonies had growth in population and expansion. But none like New York City. In 1700, the city was home to 5,000 residents. Roughly 100 years later, the population capped at 60,000. In the article “A Brief History of New York City” by Tim Lambert, everything that existed then and now on that island is responsible for the simplicity of selling and trading fur and skin. Over a century, New York tripled the population of Boston in the same amount of time. The spike in population from there on brought a boom in culture and ambition. Immigrants of all different nations brought something from the Old World and established it in the New World. Everyone had

Growing up in Harlem, New York during the 1920’s and 30’s, James Baldwin was a young Black man desperate for a place of acceptance. Surrounded by drugs and prostitution Baldwin saw a change in his neighborhood and his friends as they got older. With his friends beginning to drink and smoke Baldwin knew times were changing. He became very aware of the bodily development of the girls and the boys around him, to his surprise, he was even more enticed by the changes in the boys (Baldwin 17). During this time, Baldwin and his friends would begin to experience the racism that White America had to offer. No longer shielded by their age or naivety they had to face the fact that they were not accepted because of their skin color. With this

During the course of society there are many social issues that arise within the community. As New York City is one of the most diverse society in population and cultures, many of our communities are facing issues that often affect the development of the society as a whole. Like many people who experience difficulties and need help, this help is provided by a network of agencies and organizations in the field of Human Servcices. Many Human Services organizations advocate for their community and their people to help provide efficient services for those in need. Workers in the Human Services field offer assistance in their community to help fight social issues as well as helping them cope with or solve everyday problems. In this paper I'll discuss a social issue among the immigrants in New York city. In that same case, a visited a Human Services agency that advocates and provide sources to help regarding this issue in the community for immigrants in New York City.

Our next adventure was Brooklyn, NY. Although this borough was just a 20-minute train ride away I never really had many opportunities to visit it. I was excited to visit the borough because growing up I always heard that it had the best food in all of New York City. The borough is also known as Kings County and is home to nearly three million people. This makes Brooklyn the second most populous boroughs in New York. It is said that if the Borough were an independent city it would be the third most populous city in the U.S. (191).

Since the start of the United State the way in which a particular crime is seen has

After thirty years of Dutch rule, it was handed over to British forces in 1664. However, when it comes to language, manners and architecture, New York retained essential Dutch characteristics. At the time the author was born, many of these customs were preserved among the descendants of the old Dutch settlers

A number of names that were found in the inquest were also found in the Toronto City Directory throughout the 1880s. For example, Alexander McPhedran’s name showed up since 1880. The directory lists McPhedran’s occupation as ‘MD’, which assumingly means he was a medical doctor. This would match up to the coroner’s inquest. James E. Pitts is also mentioned in the Directory. He lived at 327 Yonge Street since approximately 1880 until 1888. His occupation is listed as a butcher. J.T. Duncan does not appear in the early 1880s but does appear in 1888. He is listed as a physician residing at 324 Parliament and also has a phone number: 693. Detective William Black is also listed in the directory living at 24 Breadalbane.

Jacquelyn was a modest, simple girl from the Bronx, New York. But that 's all she seemed to be. That 's all she knew she was. Jacquelyn, although known as Jacquelyn on stage, was just the young girl that performed in the local bars and pubs of the Bronx.

New York City is made up of five boroughs, which include the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Within these boroughs, there are high and low-income neighborhoods that contain either high or low status organizational structures or facilities. Each division has their own characteristics and top attractions, such as the Empire State building, Central Park, or Times Square. As New York City may be known for great food and fun attractions, New York faces infrastructure problems within each borough. New York City’s infrastructure funding is limited in lower income neighborhoods, where money needed to upkeep the city goes toward prime tourist’s areas or residents living in high status neighborhoods, such as The Upper East Side of Manhattan, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and Lenox Hill, Manhattan. Moreover, abandoned buildings, poor sewage conditions, and rocky roads and streets are examples of low-income area infrastructure problems that may hinder neighborhood growth both structurally and economically. Harlem, East Brooklyn, and South Bronx are low-income parts of New York that lack new and refined facilities, roads, plumbing, and fundamental structures, which contribute to high crime and arrests.

As someone walks over the grates in the sidewalk, they can feel the wind rush up from the subway cars flying through the tunnels. While they continue walking down the street and looking at all the different people that they pass, they can smell the hotdogs being cooked in the food truck. In the distance, they hear a siren weaving through the congested narrow streets of this busy city. New York City is a one of a kind type of place. It is the only place in the world where so many different cultures and backgrounds are all in one place. Along with the multitudes of different types of people and cultures, New York City truly is the city that never sleeps. The city that never sleeps, New York City, is full sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feels.
