The Flushing–Main Street station was originally built as part of theDual Contracts between theInterborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and theBrooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT). It opened on January 21, 1928, completing the segment of the Flushing Line inQueens. Although plans existed for the line to be extended east of the station, such an extension was never built. The station was renovated in the 1990s. TheMetropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) began constructing additional staircases, including four new entrances, at the station in 2022.
The station has twoisland platforms and three tracks; the platforms are connected at their eastern end. There are nine entrances at street level, leading to two separatefare control areas at Main Street and at Lippmann Plaza. There is an elevator, which makes the station compliant with theAmericans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The station is listed on theNational Register of Historic Places. In 2024, it was the second-busiest station outside of Manhattan, as well as the 10th busiest subway station in the system. (Full article...)
169th Street station opened on April 24, 1937, as theterminal station of theIndependent Subway System's Queens Boulevard Line. This station was once heavily used because of the many bus connections available for riders heading further east within Queens. It became the closest subway station to the168th Street Bus Terminal after the closure and demolition of the nearby168th StreetBMT station onJamaica Avenue in 1977. Ridership at 169th Street station declined significantly following the opening of theArcher Avenue lines in 1988. (Full article...)
Construction began in 1868 and was completed in 1870 under the leadership of Equitable's presidentHenry Baldwin Hyde. It was the world's first office building to feature passenger elevators and consequently became successful attracting tenants. The Equitable Life Building was expanded numerous times; after the construction of annexes during the late 1880s, the building occupied its entire block, bounded by Broadway and Cedar, Pine andNassau streets. Although it was advertised as fireproof, the Equitable Life Building was destroyed in a 1912 fire that killed six people. The 40-storyEquitable Building was completed on the site in 1915.

The routes of the PATH system were originally operated by theHudson & Manhattan Railroad (H&M), built to link New Jersey'sHudson Waterfront with New York City. The system began operations in 1908 and was fully completed in 1911. Three stations have since closed; two others were relocated after a re-alignment of the western terminus. From the 1920s, the rise of automobile travel and the concurrent construction of bridges and tunnels across the river sent the H&M into a financial decline during theGreat Depression, from which it never recovered, and it was forced intobankruptcy in 1954. As part of the deal that cleared the way for the construction of theoriginal World Trade Center, the Port Authority bought the H&M out of receivership in 1962 and renamed it PATH. In the 2000s and 2010s, the system suffered longstanding interruptions from disasters that affected the New York metropolitan area, most notably theSeptember 11 attacks andHurricane Sandy. Both private and public stakeholders have proposed expanding PATH service in New Jersey, though none have been funded as of 2025[update].
Although PATH has long operated as a rapid transit system, it is legally acommuter railroad under the jurisdiction of theFederal Railroad Administration (FRA). Its right-of-way between Jersey City and Newark is located in close proximity toConrail,NJ Transit, andAmtrak trackage, and it shares theDock Bridge with intercity and commuter trains. All PATH train operators must therefore be licensed railroad engineers, and extra inspections are required. As of 2023[update], PATH uses one class of rolling stock, the PA5. (Full article...)
Pier 40 was originally one of five "finger" piers numbered 37 through 41, which were owned by thegovernment of New York City, and were used by various transport companies. In 1956, the city announced a plan to consolidate the five piers into a single large passenger and cargo terminal serving theHolland America Line. Construction began in 1958 and the terminal was opened in 1962. When the Holland America Line moved to theNew York Passenger Ship Terminal in 1974, the pier continued to be used by ships until 1983. Afterward, theNew York State Department of Transportation purchased the pier as part of its failedWestway expressway proposal, with plans to use the pier for parking. Pier 40 was redesignated as parkland in 1998; several options for the structure were proposed, including redevelopment as a soccer stadium or an entertainment complex. It reopened in 2005 as a sporting complex within Hudson River Park.
The former cargo terminal is the largest structure in Hudson River Park, with an area of 14.5 acres (5.9 ha), and houses the Hudson River Park Trust's offices. Various park tenants host activities in Pier 40 as well. Sports includebaseball,football,soccer,boat building,rowing,flying trapeze, and rugby among others. Despite its popularity, the terminal is dilapidated and sinking into the Hudson River, and was previously proposed for closure due to its deteriorated condition. (Full article...)
The house had originally been designed as a four-story brownstone townhouse with astoop, a raised basement, and a flat roof behind a galvanized-ironcornice. The present appearance of the house is alimestone structure designed in theTudor-inspiredGothic Revival style. The asymmetrical facade contains two verticalbays, with a large main entrance on the left (east) bay and a triangulardormer on the right (west) bay. The interior floors of Thomas's original design were substantially altered to allow the three middle stories to have tall ceilings.
The house was constructed for banking executiveCharles Moran as arowhouse with abrownstone facade, and a rear extension was constructed in the 1880s. The house was remodeled forHarvey and Mary Fisk, who bought the house in 1905. The Fisks sold it four years later toWilliam Harkness and his wife Edith Harkness, the latter of whom sold the house in 1923. The house was then used for commercial tenants including art dealer Proctor & Company, theAutomobile Club of America, and art dealer Symons Galleries. The building was owned byLIM College from 1964 to 2024, when it was sold to obstetrician Dimitry Goncharov. TheNew York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the house as an official landmark in 2010. (Full article...)

TheOfferman Building is a historic building at 503–513Fulton Street in theDowntown Brooklyn neighborhood ofNew York City, New York, U.S. Designed by Danish architect Peter J. Lauritzen in aRomanesque Revival style, the eight-story building was built between 1890 and 1892 as a commercial structure, housing the S. Wechsler & Brother department store. Although the lower stories remain in commercial use, the upper stories were converted into a 121-unit residential complex in the 2010s. The building is aNew York City designated landmark and is listed on theNational Register of Historic Places.
The building has three distinct sections: the original wings on Fulton Street to the south and Duffield Street to the east, as well as a three-story glass annex on Bridge Street to the west that dates from the 2010s. On the Fulton and Duffield Street wings, the first and second stories of the facade are clad in stone, while brick and terracotta were used on the upper stories. The Fulton Street wing is mostly seven stories high (except for the central eight-story section), while the Duffield Street wing is six stories high. Inside, the building was originally used in its entirety as a department store, with various selling departments on each floor, as well as a small mechanical plant in the basement. The building's interior has been rearranged multiple times throughout the years; by the 2010s, only the basement and first two stories remained in retail use.
The building was developed by Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company president Henry Offerman, who agreed in late 1889 to lease the entire structure to S. Wechsler & Bro. (later Wechsler Bros. & Co.). The Offerman Building opened on May 1, 1891, and was expanded along Duffield Street in 1892 after the store's business grew significantly. Wechsler Bros. & Co. occupied the building until 1895, when Offerman took over the store. Joseph H. Bauland operated the store from 1897 to 1903, and Chapman & Co. then operated the store until 1907. The structure was then used as offices from 1909 to 1922, when Martin's department store moved into the building. Martin's occupied the Offerman Building for nearly six decades, moving out during 1979, after which the Laboz family's company United American Land bought the building. In the first two decades of the 21st century, the Laboz family leased out the lowest floors as retail space and converted the upper stories to apartments. (Full article...)
Development ofThe Amazing Spider-Man 2 began after the success ofThe Amazing Spider-Man. DeHaan, Giamatti,Felicity Jones, andChris Cooper were cast between December 2012 and February 2013. Filming took place in New York City from February to June 2013. The film was released in 2D,3D,RealD 3D, andIMAX 3D on May 2, 2014 in the United States, with two international premieres being held between March 31 and April 10 of that year. It grossed $716.9 million worldwide, making it theninth-highest-grossing film of 2014.
The Amazing Spider-Man film series was originally intended to continue with at least two more sequels and severalspin-offs, most notably films centered onVenom and theSinister Six. In February 2015, Sony Pictures andMarvel Studios initiated a deal to share theSpider-Man film rights and reboot the character within theMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), cancelling future projects inThe Amazing Spider-Man series.Tom Holland succeeded Garfield asPeter Parker / Spider-Man beginning withCaptain America: Civil War (2016), and a newSpider-Man film series set in the MCU began withSpider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. Both Garfield and Foxx reprised their roles inSpider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which linkedThe Amazing Spider-Man films to the MCU using the concept of themultiverse. (Full article...)
TheManufacturers Trust Company Building, also known as510 Fifth Avenue, is a commercial building at the southwest corner ofWest 43rd Street andFifth Avenue inMidtown Manhattan, New York City. Opened in 1954, it is the first bank building in the United States to be built in theInternational Style.Charles Evans Hughes III andGordon Bunshaft ofSkidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) designed the building for theManufacturers Trust Company. The structure has four full stories, apenthouse, and a basement. Thefacade is made largely of glass panes and aluminummullions. The first story includes a door for the bank vault, designed byHenry Dreyfuss and visible from the street. The second story, recessed from the facade, has a luminous ceiling. The building's height and design were influenced by a lease restriction that prohibited the construction of a taller building on a portion of the site. A smaller penthouse rises above the fourth story.
The building was commissioned by Manufacturers Trust in 1944; the original plan was designed byWalker & Gillette and canceled in 1948. Walker & Poor was hired in 1950 to modify the original proposal but was replaced with consulting architect SOM. The building was instantly popular upon its opening, becoming one of Manufacturers Trust's busiest branches and a tourist attraction in itself. Manufacturers Trust's successor,Chase Bank, sold the building in 2000 toTahl-Propp Equities. AfterVornado Realty Trust bought the building in 2010, the Chase branch closed that year. SOM renovated 510 Fifth Avenue in 2012, converting it into a commercial structure, and Reuben Brothers acquired the property in 2023.
The building was praised for the design of its facade, ceiling lighting, and visible vault door, and the design inspired other bank buildings erected in the 1950s and 1960s. The building's facade was designated as an official landmark by theNew York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) in 1997, and its interior was similarly designated in 2011. (Full article...)

TheChurch Offensive was abuilding occupation organized by the New YorkYoung Lords inEast Harlem,New York City. During the Church Offensive, the Young Lords occupied the First Spanish UnitedMethodist Church (FSUMC) for 11 days, from December 28, 1969, to January 7, 1970, in protest of the church's refusal to host the Young Lords' free breakfast program. During the occupation, the Young Lords implemented variouscommunity service programs, including free breakfasts and health clinics, "liberation school" classes, and dinners for Puerto Rican women. Despite a court order to vacate the church, the Young Lords remained, arguing they had not disrupted services and were challenging the church's inaction. As a result, they were held incontempt of court. The occupation ended when police forcibly entered the church, peacefully arresting 105 Young Lords members and supporters.
The Young Lords continued to pressure the FSUMC to support their breakfast program, but their requests were denied. Despite this, due to media coverage and endorsements from prominent figures, the Church Offensive led to an increase in community support and membership for the Young Lords. Some historians argue that the Church Offensive revitalized thePuerto Rican independence movement in New York and fostered discussions about gender roles within the growing Young Lords organization. Others claim that the Church Offensive represented a challenge to the "social imaginary" by questioning prevailing western concepts of peoplehood and disrupting the perceived link between coloniality and modernity.

View from the southbound platform, with a southboundR142A 4 train departing
The station opened in 1905 as an extension of theInterborough Rapid Transit (IRT)'soriginal subway line toSouth Ferry. At the time, there was a singleisland platform with one exit atBattery Park and another in Bowling Green. When the Lexington Avenue Line was expanded toBrooklyn in 1908, some trains continued going to South Ferry, resulting in the creation of a short island platform at the Bowling Green station for theBowling Green–South Ferry shuttle. The shuttle operated until 1977. During the 1970s, the station was completely renovated, a new exit was built, and a third,side platform was created for northbound trains.
Thomas Jefferson Park is a 15.52-acre (6.28 ha) public park in theEast Harlem neighborhood ofManhattan inNew York City. The park is onFirst Avenue between 111th and 114th Streets. It contains a playground as well as facilities for baseball, basketball, football, handball, running, skating, and soccer. The Thomas Jefferson Play Center within the park consists of a recreation center and a pool. The park and play center, named for former U.S. presidentThomas Jefferson, are maintained by theNew York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).
The land for the park was acquired starting in 1897. Though the park opened in 1902, the first recreational facilities did not open until 1905. The pool and bathhouse was designed by Stanley C. Brogren during a Works Progress Administration project in 1935–1936, while a playground next to the adjacentBenjamin Franklin High School opened in 1942. The pool was extensively refurbished in 1992, followed by the park in 1994. The Thomas Jefferson Play Center was designated a city landmark by theNew York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2007. (Full article...)

The 1912 plans of the Staten Island Tunnel to link the Staten Island Railroad to theBMT Fourth Avenue Line.
Construction began in 1923, and the tunnel was excavated 150 feet (46 m) into the Narrows before New York City MayorJohn Hylan, a formerBrooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) employee and initial proponent of the tunnel, canceled the project in 1925. The tunnel lies dormant under Owl's Head Park inBay Ridge, Brooklyn. Later proposals to complete the tunnel, including the 1939 plans for theIndependent Subway System's ambitiousSecond System, were never funded.
Modern proposals for completion of the tunnel have come from New York City CouncilmanLewis Fidler, who in 2007 proposed a 0.33% tax forthe tri-state region to pay for the construction. The tunnel was listed as one of many projects that could receive federal funds that were to have been allocated to theAccess to the Region's Core tunnel, which was canceled in October 2010. State SenatorDiane Savino was among the supporters of the tunnel; Savino stated that if built, the tunnel would cost $3 billion and would improve quality of life for Staten Islanders, reduce traffic, and increase the attractiveness of the borough for investment.

One Times Square in 2017 from one block north, before its renovation. The building is barely visible given the signage.
One Times Square (also known as1475 Broadway, theNew York Times Building, theNew York Times Tower, theAllied Chemical Tower or simply as theTimes Tower) is a 25-story, 363-foot-high (111 m)skyscraper onTimes Square in theMidtown Manhattan neighborhood ofNew York City, New York, U.S. Designed byCyrus L. W. Eidlitz in theneo-Gothic style, the tower was built in 1903–1904 as the headquarters ofThe New York Times. It takes up thecity block bounded bySeventh Avenue,42nd Street,Broadway, and 43rd Street. The building's design has been heavily modified throughout the years, and all of its original architectural detail has since been obscured or removed. One Times Square's primary design features are theadvertising billboards on itsfacade, added in the 1990s. Due to the large amount of revenue generated by its signage, One Times Square is one of the most valuable advertising locations in the world.
The surrounding Longacre Square neighborhood was renamed "Times Square" during the tower's construction, andThe New York Times moved into the tower in January 1905. Quickly outgrowing the tower, eight years later, the paper's offices and printing presses moved to nearby229 West 43rd Street. One Times Square remained a major focal point of the area due to its annualNew Year's Eve "ball drop" festivities and the introduction of a large lightednews ticker near street-level in 1928. The Times sold the building toDouglas Leigh in 1961.Allied Chemical then bought the building in 1963 and renovated it as a showroom. Alex M. Parker took a long-term lease for the entire building in October 1973, buying it two years later. One Times Square was sold multiple times in the 1980s and continued to serve as an office building.
The financial firmLehman Brothers acquired the building in 1995, adding billboards to take advantage of its prime location within Times Square.Jamestown L.P. has owned the building since 1997. In 2017, as part of One Times Square's redevelopment, plans were announced to construct a new Times Square museum, observation deck, and a new entrance to theTimes Square–42nd Street subway station. Jamestown started a $500 million renovation of the building in 2022. The renovation added an observation deck, a museum space, and a glass exterior, and was completed by January 2026.

Despite having the same name as one of its predecessor theaters, the current Lyric Theatre was built almost entirely from scratch, though many parts of the old theaters were preserved to comply with government regulations. The current theater retains the original Lyricfacade on 43rd Street, as well as a smaller arched facade on42nd Street. The auditorium and stage house are placed within an entirely new structure covered with concrete and brick panels. The lobby contains a domedrotunda, with a basement lounge underneath it. The auditorium contains elements from the old Lyric's and the Apollo's interiors, including a ceiling dome,boxes, and aproscenium arch, which were modified to fit the new theater's dimensions. The large stage and the accompanying stage house were designed to accommodate major musicals.
The old Lyric and Apollo theaters had been proposed for redevelopment since the 1970s, and New 42nd Street took over the theaters in 1990. Livent leased the theaters in 1995, razing them to make way for an 1,821-seat facility named after sponsorFord Motor Company. The Ford Center was dedicated in December 1997 and officially opened the next month. Livent filed for bankruptcy in late 1998, and the theater subsequently passed toSFX Entertainment and thenClear Channel Entertainment, which renamed it for sponsorHilton Hotels & Resorts in 2005. The venue was renamed afterFoxwoods Resort Casino in 2010 as part of a partnership withLive Nation. ATG acquired the theater in 2013 and renamed it the Lyric the following year. The Lyric's capacity was reduced in a 2017 renovation because of complaints about the theater's excessive size, which had caused several of the theater's productions to lose money. (Full article...)

TheStaten Island Ferry is a fare-free passengerferry route operated by theNew York City Department of Transportation. The ferry's single route runs 5.2 miles (8.4 km) throughNew York Harbor between theNew York City boroughs ofManhattan andStaten Island, with ferry boats completing the trip in about 25 minutes. The ferry operates 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, with boats leaving every 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes at other times. Apart fromNYC Ferry'sSt. George route, it is the only direct mass-transit connection between the two boroughs. Historically, the Staten Island Ferry has charged a relatively low fare compared to other modes of transit in the area; and since 1997, the route has been fare-free. The Staten Island Ferry is one of several ferry systems in the New York City area and is operated separately from systems like NYC Ferry andNY Waterway.
The Staten Island Ferry route terminates atWhitehall Terminal, on Whitehall Street inLower Manhattan, and atSt. George Terminal, inSt. George, Staten Island. At Whitehall, connections are available to theNew York City Subway and several localNew York City Bus routes. At St. George, there are transfers to theStaten Island Railway and to the St. George Bus Terminal's many bus routes. UsingMetroCard fare cards, passengers from Manhattan can exit a subway or bus on Whitehall Street, take the ferry for free, and have a free second transfer to a train or bus at St. George. Conversely, passengers from Staten Island can freely transfer to a subway or bus in Manhattan after riding the ferry.
The B operates on weekdays during daytime hours only. Rush hour and midday service operates betweenBedford Park Boulevard inthe Bronx andBrighton Beach inBrooklyn. The route makes all stops in the Bronx andUpper Manhattan, and express stops in Midtown Manhattan (between34th andWest Fourth Streets) and in Brooklyn. Limited midday and all evening serviceshort turns at145th Street in Manhattan, rather than operating all the way to and from Bedford Park Boulevard.
From the opening of the IND Sixth Avenue Line in 1940 until November 25, 1967, the B ran exclusively in Manhattan, as the BB, from168th Street inWashington Heights during rush hours to 34th Street–Herald Square inMidtown Manhattan. Upon the opening of theChrystie Street Connection on November 26, 1967, the B started running via theBMT West End Line (local) andBMT Fourth Avenue Line (express) in Brooklyn and ran over the Manhattan Bridge directly from Sixth Avenue. A short-lived B service marked with a yellow bullet ran via theBMT Broadway Line in Manhattan and the BMT West End Line in Brooklyn from 1986 to 1988 due toManhattan Bridge renovation, while an orange B service traveled the BB route between 168th and 34th Streets. After 1989, the B north of47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center used theIND Eighth Avenue Line to 168th Street on weekdays, and theIND 63rd Street Line on evenings and weekends. Late night service ran as a shuttle on the West End Line. Weekday service was rerouted to the Concourse Line in 1998, while off-peak service along 63rd Street ceased in 2000. The B started using the Brighton Line in 2004 after work on the north side of the Manhattan Bridge was completed. (Full article...)

Staten Island (/ˈstætən/STAT-ən) is the southernmost of thefive boroughs ofNew York City, coextensive withRichmond County and situated at the southernmost point of theState of New York. The borough is separated from the adjacent state ofNew Jersey by theArthur Kill and theKill Van Kull and from the rest of New York byNew York Bay. With a population of 495,747 in the2020 Census, Staten Island is the least populated New York City borough but the third largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi (152 km2); it is also the least densely populated and mostsuburban borough in the city.
A home to theLenape Native Americans, the island was settled by Dutch colonists in the 17th century. It was one of the 12 original counties of New York state. Staten Island wasconsolidated with New York City in 1898. It was formerly known as theBorough of Richmond until 1975, when its name was changed to Borough of Staten Island. Staten Island has sometimes been called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by thecity government and the media. It has also been referred to as the "borough of parks" due to its 12,300 acres of protected parkland and over 170 parks. (Full article...)
The Bronx is divided by theBronx River into a hillier section in thewest, and a flattereastern section. East and west street names are divided byJerome Avenue. The West Bronx was annexed to New York City in 1874, and the areas east of the Bronx River in 1895. Bronx County was separated from New York County (modern-day Manhattan) in 1914. About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space, includingWoodlawn Cemetery,Van Cortlandt Park,Pelham Bay Park, theNew York Botanical Garden, and theBronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. TheThain Family Forest at the New York Botanical Garden is thousands of years old and is New York City's largest remaining tract of the original forest that once covered the city. These open spaces are primarily on land reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan. The Bronx is also home toYankee Stadium ofMajor League Baseball. (Full article...)
