| Battery Park City |
Lying on the southern tip of Manhattan, Battery Park City offers expansive greenery,
tree-lined streets and spectacular water views. One of the city's newest neighborhoods,
it hosts many luxury hi-rise apartments which blend with the nearby colonial buildings.
Covering over 90 acres, Battery Park City is bounded by Chambers Street in the North
to Pier A, and West Street to the East to the Hudson River. The land upon which
it stands was created from the Hudson River using 1.2 million cubic yards of dirt
and rocks excavated during the construction of the World Trade Center and certain
other construction projects. Residents can enjoy waterfront walks, biking along
the walkways and the numerous galleries of nearby Tribeca. Many professionals enjoy
the proximity to the financial district, making it easy to get to and from work.
Battery City Park sports a Marina, free outdoor concerts at the South Street Seaport
and Winter Garden, and boats sailing off to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Since the destruction of 9/11, nowhere in New York is the city's determined spirit
more abundant. |

| Greenwich Village |
Sometimes just known as “The Village,” this historic neighborhood is now famous
for its outdoor cafés, legendary jazz spots, and magical little shops.
The area, which runs from Houston to 14th Streets, centers on Washington Square
Park. The park is a dog-friendly oasis with an iconic arch designed by Stanford
White marking the first presidential inauguration that took place in New York City. On the north side are the same beautiful
nineteenth-century townhouses Henry James wrote about.
Also home to New York University, Greenwich Village boasts a wide variety of events
and residents. With bright-eyed students, rosy-cheeked families, artists, celebrities,
Wall Street professionals, and old-timers, the village is for anyone and everyone |

| East Harlem |
East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, has a good deal of culture and a real neighborhood feel. The neighborhood stretches from 96th to 125th Street between 5th and 1st Avenues on the East Side.
It is home to some exciting new plans: East River Plaza, an upcoming mall on 116th Street off the FDR Drive, will have a Target, a Home Depot, and 1,200 parking spaces. On a smaller scale, plans are underway to revive La Marqueta, a historical greenmarket that goes back to a collection of pushcarts in the nineteen-twenties;
Although it is thought by some to be a tough neighborhood, redevelopment of many older buildings is transforming East Harlem into one of Manhattan's new and upcoming areas. With its cultural and Latin flavor, East Harlem boasts some of the city's best and most inexpensive restaurants
