400 Years of NYC

September 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

When Henry Hudson pulled up to this island there were no Mets, no street fairs and I am guessing no Little Italy but the island was a vast expanse of green land with a few hundred residents and multiple ecosystems.  I always love the history of NYC, how they built different areas, Central Park was really amazing, The Empire State building and how different areas of the city evolved.  I am not much of a nature buff but the island as Henry Hudson found it 400 years ago is an interesting read.  Known as Mannahatta, check out the Mannahatta project.  I now know what lived on E 76th Street before I did.
