New York City Ballet
New York City Ballet (NYCB) is a ballet company founded in 1948 by choreographer George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein. Léon Barzin was the company's first music director. Balanchine and Jerome Robbins are considered the founding choreographers of the company. City Ballet grew out of earlier troupes: the Producing Company of the School of American Ballet, 1934; the American Ballet, 1935, and Ballet Caravan, 1936, which merged into American Ballet Caravan, 1941; and directly from the Ballet Society, 1946.
History
In a 1946 letter, Kirstein stated, The only justification I have is to enable Balanchine to do exactly what he wants to do in the way he wants to do it. He served as the company's General Director from 1946 to 1989, developing and sustaining it by his organizational and fundraising abilities.
The company was named New York City Ballet in 1948 when it became resident at City Center of Music and Drama. Its success was marked by its move to the New York State Theater, now David H. Koch Theater, designed by Philip Johnson to Balanchine's specifications. City Ballet went on to become the first ballet company in the United States to have two permanent venue engagements: one at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater on 63rd Street in Manhattan, and another at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, in Saratoga Springs, New York. The School of American Ballet (S.A.B.), which Balanchine founded, is the training school of City Ballet.
After the company's move to the State Theater, Balanchine's creativity as a choreographer flourished. He created works that were the basis of the company's repertory until his death in 1983. His vision influenced dance both across the United States and in Europe. He worked closely with choreographer Jerome Robbins, who resumed his connection with the company in 1969 after having produced works for Broadway.
NYCB still has the largest repertoire by far of any American ballet company, and it often stages 60 ballets or more in its winter and spring seasons at Lincoln Center each year, and 20 or more in its summer season in Saratoga Springs. City Ballet has performed The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and many more. City Ballet has trained and developed many great dancers since its formation. Also, many dancers with already developed reputations have joined City Ballet as principal dancers.

New York City - Video tour of the Meatpacking District, Manhattan (Part 2)
Hello and welcome for another video tour of a great New York neighborhood by New York Habitat ( ). Today's video will be the second video tour dedicated to the Meatpacking District, a small neighborhood in Manhattan, New York, one of New York's most fashionable neighborhoods! You can watch Part 1 of our Video Tour here:
Feel free to watch other great video tours of New York neighborhoods ( ), such as ChinaTown ( or Financial District (
The Meatpacking District is bordered by west 14th street to the north, Gansevoort Street to the south, the Hudson River to the west and Hudson Street to the east. It is located between two other famous neighborhoods, Chelsea to the North and the West Village to the south.
In our first episode, we shared the history of the Meatpacking District, including its transformation in the 90s with the arrival of high end retailers. In this edition we will look at some other famous places as well as the shopping and dining options in the area.
Shopping Scene
On 14th Street you will find some of the most well-known international designers' stores including Diane von Furstenberg, Carlos Miele, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. But there are also some retailers a bit outside the mainstream that you won't want to miss.
Vitra (29 9th Avenue)
If you are interested in seeing the modern classics as well as the new and innovative, check out the furniture store, Vitra.
If you are in the Meatpacking during the day, and you're exhausted from shopping, take a break and look inside some of the more popular art galleries in the district:
Wooster Projects (418 W. 15th St)
You'll find Wooster Projects, an unassuming gallery, on West 15th St. It a Museum Mile-quality collection, that intermittently displays works by such famed artists as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and David Hockney, among others.
Ground Zero Museum Workshop (420 West 14th Street)
Head over to Ground Zero Museum Workshop, known as the Biggest LITTLE Museum in New York. Rare photos and artifacts collected during the recovery period at Ground Zero can be seen here.
Apartments in the West Village -- Meat Packing District Area
If you'd like to experience the Meatpacking District like a true local, you should rent a vacation rental or furnished apartment from New York Habitat. There's no better way to experience this city than to live in a real New York apartment.
For example we have this fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment ( located right on the border of the Meatpacking District and Chelsea. The bedroom is furnished with a double sized bed and there is a queen sized futon in the living room for additional sleeping room. The kitchen is fully equipped, complete with the convenience of a dishwasher.
Another great choice is this fully furnished studio ( also located just north of the Meatpacking District. This apartment provides for many different sleeping arrangements with a queen sized bed, double bed and a double sofa bed. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is television with cable channels, air conditioning, and the convenience of laundry access in the building.
You'll also want to go out in the Meatpacking to experience all that it has to offer. You're sure to have a good time in this high style neighborhood.
For a few great places to eat, check out these Meatpacking hotspots: Fig and Olive at 420 West 13th Street, Pastis at 9 9th Ave, Budda Bar at 25 Little West 12th Street, Macelleria at 48 Gansevoort Street.
And if you're looking for some bars and lounges, here are a few to get you started:

The Meatpacking District is about 2 or 3 miles from Central Park, but if you're looking for a quick escape from the city, you'll find a small park at 14th St Park at 10th Avenue or the newly constructed High Line Park.
New York Habitat offers hundreds of apartments for rent in New York, including furnished apartments ( ) and vacation rentals ( ).

New York City 4K - Long Island City - Driving Downtown USA
Long Island City (LIC) is the westernmost residential and commercial neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens. LIC is noted for its rapid and ongoing residential growth and gentrification, its waterfront parks, and its thriving arts community. LIC has among the highest concentration of art galleries, art institutions, and studio space of any neighborhood in New York City.
Long Island City was once home to many factories and bakeries, some of which are finding new uses. The former Silvercup bakery is now home to Silvercup Studios, which has produced notable works such as NBC's 30 Rock and HBO's Sex and the City. The Silvercup sign is visible from the IRT Flushing Line and BMT Astoria Line trains going into and out of Queensboro Plaza. The former Sunshine Bakery is now one of the buildings which houses LaGuardia Community College. Other buildings on the campus originally served as the location of the Ford Instrument Company, which was at one time a major producer of precision machines and devices. Artist Isamu Noguchi converted a photo-engraving plant into a workshop; the site is now the Noguchi Museum, a space dedicated to his work.
The Standard Motor Products headquarters, a manufacturing site producing items like distributor caps, was once located in the industrial neighborhood of Long Island City until purchased by Acuman Partners in 2008 for $40M. The Standard Motor Products Building was put on the market by Acuman in 2014 and acquired by RXR Realty, LLC for $110M. The former factory built in 1919 now houses the Jim Henson Company, Society Awards, and a commercial rooftop farm run by Brooklyn Grange.
High-rise housing is being built on a former Pepsi-Cola site on the East River. From June 2002 to September 2004, the former Swingline Staplers plant was the temporary headquarters of the Museum of Modern Art. Other former factories in Long Island City include Fisher Electronics and Chiclets Gum. Long Island City's turn-of-the-century district of residential towers, called Queens West, is located along the East River, just north of the LIRR's Long Island City Station. Redevelopment in Queens West reflects the intent to have the area as a major residential area in New York City, with its high-rise residences very close to public transportation, making it convenient for commuters to travel to Manhattan by ferry or subway. The first tower, the 42-floor Citylights, opened in 1998 with an elementary school at the base. Others have been completed since then and more are being planned or under construction.
Today, the most prominent structure, other than Queensboro Bridge, is the community's green skyscraper, the 658-foot (201 m) Citicorp Building built in 1989 on Courthouse Square. It is the tallest building on Long Island and in any of the New York City boroughs outside Manhattan. Socioeconomic diversity is very visible in Long Island City; the Queensbridge Houses are composed of over 3,000 units, making it the largest public housing complex in North America.
It is bordered by Astoria to the north; the East River to the west; Hazen Street, 49th Street, and New Calvary Cemetery in Sunnyside to the east; and Newtown Creek—which separates Queens from Greenpoint, Brooklyn—to the south. It originally was the seat of government of the Town of Newtown, and remains the largest neighborhood in Queens. The area is part of Queens Community Board 1, located north of the Queensboro Bridge and Queens Plaza; it is also of Queens Community Board 2 to the south.
Long Island City is the eastern terminus of the Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, which is the only non-toll automotive route connecting Queens and Manhattan. Northwest of the bridge terminus are the Queensbridge Houses, a development of the New York City Housing Authority and the largest public housing complex in North America.
The Dig in New York, June 2009: all excerpts
(7:30) Excerpts from Stacie Chaiken's solo play The Dig: death, Genesis & the double helix performed in workshop on June 11, 2009, at Theatre Three in New York City.
New York: Columbus Circle
Columbus Circle is a traffic circle and heavily trafficked intersection in Manhattan, located at the intersection of Eighth Avenue, Broadway, Central Park South (West 59th Street), and Central Park West, at the southwest corner of Central Park. The circle is the point from which official highway distances from New York City are measured.
The circle is named after the monument of Christopher Columbus in the center. The name is also used for the neighborhood a few blocks around the circle in each direction. To the south of the circle lies Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton, and the Theater District, and to the north is the Upper West Side.
The 76-foot (23 m) Columbus Column monument at the center of the circle, created by Italian sculptor Gaetano Russo, consists of a 14-foot (4.3 m) marble statue of Columbus atop a 27.5-foot (8.4 m) granite rostral column on a four-stepped granite pedestal. The column is decorated with bronze reliefs representing Columbus' ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María, although actually they are Roman galleys instead of caravels. Its pedestal features an angel holding a globe.
The monument was one of three planned as part of the city's 1892 commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the Americas.
Russo created parts of the Columbus Column in his Rome studio and in other workshops in Italy. The completed column was shipped to the United States in September 1892.
Amid the 2017 monument controversies in the United States, an issue arose over the statue due to criticism of Columbus's alleged mistreatment of the native people on Hispaniola.
On September 20, 2018, in a unanimous decision, the New York State Board of Historic Preservation quietly voted to place the monument on the state and federal historical registers due to its significance.

In An Ideal Theatre for an Ideal City, Todd London was joined by Oskar Eustis (The Public Theater), Kristin Marting (HERE Arts Center), Rosalba Rolon (Pregones), Mia Yoo (La MaMa), and Jonathan McCrory (The Movement Theatre Company). The discussion was followed by a book signing with the author.
About the book: A wide-ranging, inspiring documentary history of the American theatre movement as told, at the time of its making, by the visionaries who forged it. This anthology collects over forty essays, manifestos, letters, and speeches each introduced and placed in historical context by noted writer and arts commentator Todd London, who spent nearly a decade assembling this collection. The founding visions of theatres from across the country are represented here, including: Arena Stage (Washington, DC), El Teatro Campesino (California), Barter Theatre (Virginia), Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Roadside Theater (Kentucky), Second City (Illinois), Theatre 47 (Dallas), Bread and Puppet (Vermont), The Actor's Workshop (California), Public Theater (New York), Minnesota Theatre Company, The Group Theatre (New York), and dozens more. This celebration of the artists who came before is an exhilarating look both backward, and toward the future.
This event was presented by the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center and a part of the GC Public Program's initiative Cultural Capital: The Promise and Price of New York Creative Economy.
