I would like to research roosevelt island, because of the history, and the isolation, beauty it has. Once called welfare island, it houses a lighthouse, a tram that connects into manhattan, and a great view of manhattan
Im claiming City Island. It’s located in the Bronx. I’ve never been there before and this will give me a reason to go there.
I am retracting my 1st claim, I will be claiming The Weeksville Houses.. A community that housed free slaves (fugitive slaves) during the 1800s, located in now crown heights Brooklyn.

My concierge claim is, “Carnegie Hall!”
Since the 1800’s, until present day, Carnegie Hall has been the staple of where you would find musical excellence in NYC. Carnegie has housed many musicians and their different genre’s of music, as well as other types of events. Carnegie continues to resonate as an intricate part of the NYC’s cultural fabric and is the world’s most famous concert hall.

I am claiming “Life Underground”, a permanent art work created by the American Artist Tom Otterness for the 14 Street-eighth avenue station of the New York City subway.
I will be claiming “Pier 66 Maritime” an outdoor seating bar & grill with the amazing view of the waterfront. Pier 66 Maritime has a history of several honorable service ships. They bring people together to experience this historic scenery, and are determined to preserve it.
US Custom House. I love architecture and sculpture and I also want to visit the Museum of the American Indian.

I am claiming Madsion Square Garden
I am claiming Madison Square Garden.
I have always wondered how Madison Square Garden earned its name even though it is nowhere near Madison Square Park or Madison. How did the recession affected the revenue and popularity at Madison Square Garden
I am claiming the High Line. I feel like this landmark in New York City is still very significant due to the fact that its an old abandon railway that was brought back to life and designed into what we all know now as the High Line Park. I also live right up the block from it, so I have grown up with the High Line being my neighbor.
I’m actually going to claim Hotel Chelsea!
I’m claiming this site because of its history and the “haunted” history the hotels has; also because of the architecture of the hotel itself, the collaboration of the “Queen Anne Revival” and “Victorian Gothic” style of the hotel. It’s another famous landmark that is within my neighborhood!
(sorry, I thought the list above were some things we could use!)
I am claiming the Fort Tryon Park, located throughout the upper west side of Manhattan, particularly in the Washington heights until Inwood area.
I am claiming Fort Tryon Park, located throughout the upper west side of Manhattan, particularly in the Washington heights until Inwood area. Interested in this location because i grew up in the midst of it. In addition, there’s a lot of historical events that took place, one of them being the Battle of Fort, during the Revolutionary war.

I am claiming Green Acre Park. New York City is well known for its people, some food, late nights, loud street and etc but Green Acre Park is one of those places that you can just escape from it all with a beautiful hidden waterfall for those summer days.
I am Claiming Brooklyn bridge Park
Brooklyn Bridge is visited by many people, this place use to be a ferry service place . Including docking points for the “Catherine Street Ferry” and the first steamboat ferry landing that was created by Robert Fulton, which eventually became known as the Fulton Ferry Landing.

I am claiming the Roosevelt Island Tramway on 59th St. I’ve recently discovered it’s existence, and it’s way of transporting people seems very unique. No wonder so may foreigners would want to travel on an aerial-mode of transit.
I am claiming Fort Tyron Park in Manhattan, because of its history and I am curious to know why it is called “one of the best presents ever received”.
I’m claiming Sunnyside Gardens.
Noemi Mendez- For my Concierge Marketing Assignment I am claiming The Bronx Zoo. I believe that tourist/ travelers could learn the historic of animals by having a live interactive experience and having a good time with their children.
I claiming Columbia University. This a charming university. Also my dream university.
I am claiming Brooklyn Botonical Garden
I claiming Columbia University. This a charming university. Also my dream university.
I am claiming Pier 62 skatepark as I feel it is one of the few places that embraces skating culture and allows people to practice their craft. You don’t have to be in NYC long to see that many of the streets aren’t all too cutout for skateboarding. Also I feel its a different culture than the rest of the city and it gives me the opportunity to research more about the park itself in the process.
