Welcome to the new and improved transit system that New York City has to offer, It upbeat and attractive. Take a ride on NYC-Transport12. It’s a roaring roller coaster, that runs thought the city. You will get a perspective of the city you have never seen before. It will take you all over the city: from the deep blue waters of the east river, to the lush green acres of central park. There will never be a dull moment on the coaster. On the ride you will have a variety of aromas hitting your noises: From the smell of sugar being caramelizing at the peanut stands to the smell of fresh pizza coming off the oven. This roller coaster is a big improvement on the current transit system, instead of being pressed agents a wall because the train is over flowing. All rides will have their own cushioned sit, where they can enjoy the commute home rather them dread it. NYC-Transport12 will redefine the way you commute in the big apple!

Group 4- Futuristic Dreams

Our New York is your New York. Wouldn’t it be exciting if we had a Six Flags, floating on top of the East River? With loud flying racecars, floating food vendors, and rides all around… Doesn’t that sound like loads of fun? Best of all, the park would smell like oil perfume and have fancy Lamborghini bumper cars. There would be a floating racetrack and tons of roller coasters. The delicious chocolate scent will walk and drive your taste buds towards our food vendors- located in the heart of the park. Everything you can imagine to eat would be there! Popcorn, cotton candy, skittles, anything chocolate and anything delicious! Located by the Brooklyn Bridge, the floating park could be viewed by the people, who are having a peaceful time at the Brooklyn Bridge Park.

-Loud, Busy, Crowded, Hectic and Diverse

– An exotic car, I went to the world trade center and visited the freedom towers, new sneakers

-Bad hygiene, Sewers, Car fuel, and Food

-Most peaceful place in NYC is Central park early in the morning. It is quiet and the nature creates a soothing presence.

-I wish there were ski slopes in NYC so I could snowboard at anytime during the winter. Due to the geography of NYC, It’s impossible.

A Place to Escape- Group # 3- New York City

Welcome to the new addition to the city we all love New York City. A rare city that mysteriously combines the senses into a symphony of pleasure. A place where random flyers and trash blow through the air. Where smells of the subway and sewer mix with the many exotics foods. This may sound pleasing already, but it gets better with our brand new specially designed area of attractions downtown. We all know the empire state buildng right, well just imagine being able to fly down its side towards the ground at break neck speeds only to stop just before the ground in our new sky gliding exhibit. If heights aren’t your thing then how about a special high way that goes through the entire city. A place where any type of vehicle can speed through the streets without worry of pedestrians or speed limits. An area in this city is specially designed to house the worlds largest paint ball course. Here you can go on your first date and really paint the town red, or blue or any color that comes to mind. This all may sound a little crazy but to many its a geat place to live. Its not only fast, fun, and outrgeous, but it is also therapeutic, fresh, and an easy place to visit. So why dont you take a chance today and stop on by.

Life in the City

Life in the city can be an exciting experience. You honestly never know what is going to happen or what you may see. In the video we saw in class you could already tell that the world was hectic back then. I saw that there many fights, traffic looked crazy, and the streets were really crowded. In “The Man of the Crowd” the author talks about the streets being filled with vendors and that you could easily point them out. “The tribe of clerks was an obvious one; and here I discerned two remarkable divisions. There were the junior clerks of flash houses — young gentlemen with tight coats, bright boots, well-oiled hair, and supercilious lips.” There is not many differences between my city and the city of both the video and “The Man of the Crowd” just that now the city is definitly not having riots like in the video.

“What is a city?” The Man of the Crowd.

Cities get the best of people when walking through one. Ask anyone who has been through a crowded city and they will give you a new definition of what it feels like. People differentiate culturally, economically, even physically. “The city fosters art and is art; the city creates the theater and is the theater.” Said in Mumfords reading “What is a city?” really stuck out to me. He couldn’t have put it in any more perfect definition of the city. The city itself is an art and theatre. The museums that are architecturally built to foster art, itself IS art. The theatres with shining bright lights that create the theatre, itself IS the theatre. Going to the city is just an experience to remember every time. The Man of the Crowd defines an old man’s joy of walking through a busy crowd. The old man has no destination, just stalking forward and backward as he gets through the crowd. He wanted to live in the crowd. Instead of walking alone, he could always have someone besides him. Doesn’t have to know the person, not even look at them. The old man just knows that there is someone there beside him.

New york; city of dreams

New york, the city of dreams as described by the many different varieties of people that live in it, is a city with many beautiful buildings and many different varieties of landscapes. This is exactly the thing that makes New York City unique. E.B White’s here is New York gives us a great view of what people tend to see in great cities. He talks about what has changed since he was last there and how much different it looks with all the really tall skyscrapers and all the new variety of people that have moved there in that time.

 

Mumford’s “What is a city” and Poe’s “Man in the crowd” are two great literatures that give us a point of view and a different perspective from other people who live in the city. This two tell us what one can expect to see in the city in the way that they describe what they see like when Poe talks about all the different types of people he sees and all the different types of jobs and buildings and when he notices that there is a great variety in the way people dress.  Mumford’ s “What is a city” pretty much gives us the idea of what buildings and housing look like in new york and how much it has changed through out the years, and how the city has grown both in population, diversity and architecturally.
