The first large city park in the United States, draws more than 20 million visits a year, making it one of New York City’s most popular attractions. Olmsted and Vaux began designing the Park in 1858, after the city had acquired 778 acres of land, obtained out of a civic need for more open space arising from population growth during the 19th century.
This huge manmade landscape cost $14 million to build, and by 1873, the Park had a collection of more than four million trees, shrubs, and plants – a monumental effort, particularly when one considers that New York’s largest park at the time was the ten-acre Battery Park. In 1937, the city unveiled the park’s 15-acre Great Lawn, built over the original site of the Croton Reservoir.
Numerous ballfields and playgrounds also have been added to the original design. The park contains many institutions and facilities, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, several historic buildings and monuments, an outdoor theater, a children’s zoo, a science center, a skating rink, and four community centers. Occupying a prominent place in the iconography of New York, Central Park is where the New York Marathon ends and where John Lennon is remembered in “Strawberry Fields.”
Now encompassing 843 acres, Central Park forms a border for several neighborhoods in New York, extending from some of the city’s wealthiest to some of its poorest. Surrounding the southern portions of the park are primarily high-income, high rise apartment buildings, with low to middle income housing near the northern end in Harlem; a collection of museums along Fifth Avenue forms the park’s eastern border.

Mexico’s own drinks are made from the cactus plant. Most famous is tequila, drunk as an aperitif or in coctails like tequila sour, Margarita (with lime juice and Cointreau), or sunrise (grenadine and lime juice). Other cactus derivatives are mescal and pulque – less popular with the tourist. Imported drinks are expensive. But there are good cheap locak wines, beers and liqueurs. Mexican men drink in cantinas or salones de cerveza, which are open from mid-day to 1 am but closed on Sundays and on the days before public holidays. Ladies never enter these places. Bars are for mixed drinking; but even here a woman should be escorted.

There is fire and fury about Venice dirving but you can retreat underground and travel by metro – buy a tokenat the booth which opens the automatic gate. But it is not yet a very extensive system. There is a good bus service and plenty of taxis. If you order a taxi by phone, you may pay additional fare. Watch out for unofficial taxis with ‘helpful’ drivers. Regular air services link all the main cities with Venice. Italian lon distance buses are first class. Some have bars, hostesses and interpreters. For information about the routes, prices etc, contact CIAT (Compagnia Italiana Autoservizi Turustici). If you plan travel by rail see your travel agent or the Italian State represntative in the United States before you go, there are many worthwhile reductions and special facilities available to tourists. All you need to eat well in Venice is a good appetite. Most hotels will be able to put you in touch with an English speaing doctor. Venice has ecellent hospitals. Wash all fruit, and be careful with milk – pasteurized and sterilized in sealed bottles are safe. Signs to look for are ladies, Signore; men, Signori. Major hotels have their own hairdressing salons. Most hotels have their own laundry service which is both quick and reliable. Dry cleaning takes longer. Most hotels will arrange babysitting. Most English language newspapers and magazines available. Stamps available from post offices, hotels and tobacconists.

Miami International Airport is seven miles nortwest of midtown Miami and 12 miles from Pan Am’s Miami Beach terminal. When the Florida land boom flared up in the early 1920′s, it seemed that everyone in America wanted to own property in Miami. Miami Beach is on a slim thread of land nearly four miles east of Miami, between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Collins Avenue, named after the man who firs saw development possibilities in this former mangrove swamp, extends the full lenght of the Beach for about eight miles. From 71st Street soutward, Collins Avenue has a succession of huge confront hotels, each trying to br more opulent and stunning than the next. Miami Beach exists to give vacationers and conventioneers the time of their lives. Miami despite its many diversions, seems very sensible and businesslike in comparison.
See the Lowe Art Galley on University of Miami campus in Coral Gables; Miami Museum of Modern Art; Bass Museum of Art; Spanish Monastery Cloisters; North Miami Beach (800 year old building transported from Spain); Vizcaya (Italian Renaissancepalazzo with antique furnishings and gardens).
Visit the elegant shops on Lincoln Road Mall and see the views from the causeways to Miami Beach, and the yacht marinas including the huge Miamarina off Biscayne Bay at 5th Street. See the suburb of Coconut Grove and the Venetian Poll; the ‘Miracle Mile’ of shops and University of Miami in Coral Gables. Hialeah with its flamingoes is worth seeing. The Museum of Science has exhibits spanning Florida’s history from the peninsula’s formation to space exploration far in the future. The Seaquarium on Rickenbacker Causeway has man eating sharks, lion fish, porpoises and seals.
