⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : Koreatown, Manhattan (맨해튼 코리아타운) on 32nd Street (July 25, 2019)
I walk Koreatown (shortened to K-Town) in Manhattan from Broadway to 5th Avenue. The area is very similar to Seoul, featuring restaurants, small businesses, and bars on multiple stories.
From Wikipedia:
Koreatown (Hangul: 맨해튼 코리아타운), or K-Town, is an ethnic Korean enclave in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, centered on West 32nd Street between Madison Avenue and the intersection with Sixth Avenue and Broadway, which is known as Greeley Square. The neighborhood in Midtown South features over 150 businesses of various types and sizes, ranging from small restaurants and beauty salons to large branches of Korean banking conglomerates. Koreatown, Manhattan has become described as the Korean Times Square and has emerged as the international economic outpost for the Korean chaebol.
Historically, Manhattan's Koreatown has been part of the Garment District. In the 1980s, a Korean bookstore and a handful of restaurants were founded in the area. Their success drew other Korean-owned businesses, sustained by increased immigration from Korea and tourist traffic from nearby Midtown Manhattan landmarks like the Empire State Building, Macy's Herald Square, the United Nations Headquarters, Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, the Garment District, and the Flower District. Today, Koreatown is primarily a Korean business district, but the resident Korean population in the area has grown as well.
The heart of Koreatown is the segment of West 32nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue, officially nicknamed Korea Way. Korea Way features stores and restaurants on multiple stories, with independently run establishments reaching up to higher floors, exuding an ambience of Seoul itself. The New York City Korean Chamber of Commerce estimates there to be more than 100 small businesses on Korea Way. Signage in Hangul (한글) is ubiquitous. Koreatown's central location and high density of crowded restaurants, bars, karaoke clubs, and spas on Korea Way have rendered it a major tourist attraction and a center of nightlife in Manhattan.
Korea Way features numerous restaurants that serve both traditional and/or regional Korean cuisine and Korean fusion fare (including Korean Chinese cuisine), several bakeries, grocery stores, supermarkets, bookstores, consumer electronics outlets, video rental shops, tchotchke and stationery shops, hair and nail salons, noraebang singing bars, nightclubs, as well as cell phone service providers, internet cafés, doctors' offices, attorney offices, banks, and hotels. Numerous Japanese restaurants have also emerged in Manhattan's Koreatown. Although Korea Way continues to represent the heart of Koreatown, situated between Broadway, Sixth Avenue, and Fifth Avenue, Koreatown itself as of 2015 has been expanding further eastward from Fifth Avenue along East 32nd Street, toward Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in the direction of Queens.

Sailor's Snug Harbor
Info provided by Wikipedia.
Sailors' Snug Harbor, also known as Sailors Snug Harbor or Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden or, informally, Snug Harbor, is a collection of architecturally significant 19th-century buildings set in an 83-acre park along the Kill Van Kull on the north shore of Staten Island in New York City, United States.[4] It was once a home for aged sailors. Some of the buildings and the grounds are used by arts organizations under the umbrella of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.
Sailors' Snug Harbor includes 26 Greek Revival, Beaux Arts, Italianate and Victorian style buildings. The site is considered Staten Island's crown jewel[5] and an incomparable remnant of New York's 19th-century seafaring past.[6] It is a National Historic Landmark District.
Snug Harbor was founded through a bequest after the death of Revolutionary War soldier and ship master Captain Robert Richard Randall, namesake of the nearby neighborhood of Randall Manor. Randall left his country estate in Manhattan, bounded by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, 10th Street, and the southern side of 8th Street adjacent to what is now Washington Square, to build an institution to care for aged, decrepit and worn-out seamen. Randall's disappointed heirs contested the will extensively, delaying the opening of the sailors' home for decades. By the time the will challenge was settled, the once-rural land around the Manhattan estate had become well-developed. Snug Harbor's trustees (appointed by Randall's will, they included the mayor of New York City, the president and vice president of the Marine Society, senior ministers of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the chancellor of the State) decided to maximize the profits on the Manhattan property. They changed the proposed site of the institution to another piece of land bequeathed by Randall: a 130-acre plot on Staten Island overlooking the Kill Van Kull.[7][8]
Sailors' Snug Harbor finally opened in 1833, the country's first home for retired merchant seamen. It began with a single building, now the centerpiece in the row of five Greek Revival temple-like buildings on the New Brighton waterfront.[9] From 1867 to 1884, Captain Thomas Melville, a retired sea captain and brother of Moby-Dick author Herman Melville, was governor of Snug Harbor.[10] In 1890, Captain Gustavus Trask, the governor of Snug Harbor, built a Renaissance Revival church, the Randall Memorial Chapel and, next to it, a music hall, both designed by Robert W. Gibson.[9] At its peak in the late 19th century, about 1,000 retired sailors lived at Snug Harbor, then one of the wealthiest charities in New York. Its Washington Square area properties yielded a surplus exceeding the retirement home's costs by $100,000 a year.[9]
By the mid-20th century, however, Snug Harbor was in financial difficulty. Once-grand structures fell into disrepair, and some were demolished; the ornate white-marble Randall Memorial Church was torn down in 1952. With the arrival of the Social Security system in the 1930s, demand for accommodation for old sailors declined; by the mid-1950s, fewer than 200 residents remained.
In the 1960s, the institution's trustees proposed to redevelop the site with high-rise buildings; the new New York City Landmarks Commission stepped forward to save the remaining buildings, designating them landmark structures, and listing them on the National Register of Historic Places. A series of legal battles ensued, but the validity of landmark designation was ultimately upheld and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.[3][11] In the 1970s, the trustees moved the institution to Sea Level, North Carolina and sold the Staten Island site to the City of New York.[9] Today, Randall's Trust no longer operates a retirement home, but the Trustees of the Sailors' Snug Harbor in the City of New York continues its work, using funds from the endowment to help mariners all over the country. Its office is at 40 Exchange Place, Suite 1701 NY, NY 10005.
On September 12, 1976, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center was opened to the public. In 2008, the Cultural Center and the Staten Island Botanical Garden merged to become the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden.[12]
The Sailors' Snug Harbor Archives are preserved at the Stephen B. Luce Library at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx.
A station on the now-defunct North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway bore the name Sailors Snug Harbor; a retaining wall and stairways from the station still exist. Now, the S40 travels from and to the St. George Terminal, stopping at Snug Harbor's front gate.

Staten Island Stands with Israel EVENT
On July 8th 2014 in the early morning, Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Protective Edge against Hamas, aimed at stopping what had become a relentless and intolerable barrage of rockets launched from Gaza at innocent civilians in Israel.
Over the last two weeks, more than 2000 rockets were launched from Gaza at Israel, and all of which were aimed at Israel’s civilian population. Hamas has boasted that its rockets can reach all of Israel; indeed the Iron Dome anti-missile battery has intercepted rockets headed for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Residents in Southern Israel have just had 15 seconds to reach bomb shelters and most have spent days in these hardened shelters, rockets pounding the earth over their heads and sirens blaring warnings about the next incoming barrage.
All of Israel has become a war zone, terrorized by craven extremists who hide among Gaza residents, emerging to commit acts of terror before slinking away again into the camouflage of Gaza’s schools and residential buildings.
Vast networks of professionally built terror tunnels have been discovered coming from Gaza infiltrating into Israel, many right underneath cities and towns in Israel for the sole purpose of sending terrorists to murder and abduct Israeli civilians. These tunnels have been carefully planned out and built over years, as millions dollars in funds and material have been spent in order to have the capacity for thousands of terrorists to come into Israel to wage murderous operations against the Israeli civilian population. The finding and removal of these terror tunnels is a main objective of the Israel Defense Forces operation and an emphasis on the importance of this threat must not be understated. The terror tunnels must be destroyed and Gaza must be demilitarized so Hamas’ planned massacres can never occur.
No nation can be expected to tolerate such an assault on its citizens, and Israel has every right to defend itself vigorously and decisively. Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor, has notified the Security Council of Israel's intent to exercise its right of self-defense and has requested that the Council immediately rebuke Hamas. The United States has already expressed its support for Israel's defensive actions and so should the all Americans and the international community.
The Israeli people, its government and Jews around the world ONLY want peace! We pray for it everyday and have done everything humanly possible to achieve it. We have seen several cease fires designated to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza broken by Hamas as it uses its own peoples suffering for their own depraved public relations purposes.
Hamas’ intentional shelling at millions of Israeli citizens from behind its own people using them as human shields and placing their missile launchers in apartment buildings, mosques and hospitals constitutes a double war crime and deserves condemnation by all.
We in the Jewish community believe that life is precious and we mourn the life of each of the fallen IDF soldiers, Israeli civilians and Gaza civilians that have been lost due to the inexplicable tactics used by Hamas.
In such an environment, decent people everywhere need to be especially firm, vocal and unequivocal, and need to express not only support for Israel’s fight against terror, but an absolute intolerance for Hamas' cowardly assaults launched from residential areas putting its own people in harms way. The IDF can and will stop Hamas. It’s up to us to let the world know that Hamas terrorists must no longer be given military, political or financial support from its ideological and financial allies in Iran and other terrorist sponsors. It’s up to us to correct the record, to expose Hamas’ misrepresentations, and to give Hamas no quarter in the media. It’s also up to us to let our government know they should end the funding to the Palestinian Authority while it has Hamas in its government.
As we all gather here today united in support for Israel to exist in peace; we must demand that Hamas be held accountable for the continued atrocities. This terror organization must be isolated so it can do no more harm. Only when global opinion recognizes Hamas for what it is, when we focus on the moral outrage that Hamas perpetrates on a daily basis, not only will the risk to Israeli citizens be reduced, but life in Gaza will improve markedly.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Staten Island () is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Richmond County, in the U.S. state of New York. Located in the southwest portion of the city, the borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With an estimated population of 479,458 in 2017, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi (152 km2). The borough also contains the southern-most point in the state, South Point.
The borough was referred to as the Borough of Richmond until 1975. Staten Island has sometimes been called the forgotten borough by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government.The North Shore—especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Clifton and Stapleton—is the most urban part of the island; it contains the designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, which feature large Victorian houses. The East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile (4 km) F.D.R. Boardwalk, the fourth-longest boardwalk in the world. The South Shore, site of the 17th-century Dutch and French Huguenot settlement, developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s and is now mostly suburban in character. The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island.
Motor traffic can reach the borough from Brooklyn via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and from New Jersey via the Outerbridge Crossing, Goethals Bridge and Bayonne Bridge. Staten Island has Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) bus lines and an MTA rapid transit line, the Staten Island Railway, which runs from the ferry terminal at St. George to Tottenville. Staten Island is the only borough that is not connected to the New York City Subway system. The free Staten Island Ferry connects the borough across New York Harbor to Manhattan and is a tourist attraction which provides views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Lower Manhattan.
