Sir, switch off the machine and slowly pass me the keys! - Th for ..?!? -I repeat ... .. ME SIR-Dle-DNA, pass me the keys and leave the car! Doing some simple body movements, are reluctant to get out of the car, I was immediately surrounded by four goblins together in black with guns blazing, well poured pure "kaunterstraykovtsy: Sir, take your hands out of pockets, we should see them ... Well, it will be later, and now a three-hour queue at the American consulate in Dubai is almost nearing its end. Had to undergo more than one cordon with metal detectors and tens, you feel your eyes bezopasnosti.Iz ​​service officers throughout the crowd to get a U.S. visa, 70 percent came from the Iraqi and Iranian families are sitting on the benches and clap eyes in despair, "Really, this time not will surrender to the enemy "... Fingerprints put, we stand at the window with receipts of payment of duties and anketami.Priyatnaya filled with a kind woman behind the thick glass begins the conversation: - The purpose of the visit to the U.S.? - Tourism and Recreation - Does your wife was the refusal of a visa in August 2001? - Well, as we indicated in the questionnaire, she wanted to see his relatives, the refusal was in Moscow and she was not yet my wife. - Your daughter is also going with you? Yes, of course, we always take it with you on vacation .. or rather the second time since she only 1.7 years Quickly leafs through a passport, can be seen checking the Schengen visa for last year. -Do you rezidentka and its company in Dubai? "You pay for a trip? Yes, he used to .. -Well ... - I have both at once, and troubles began to suck at the liver, your visa approved, Glue only daughter's photograph in the passport. That's because, quite simply, we got a U.S. visa. I had to really even run, because after a courier brought a passport with a visa, my passport just was not (!), There was only daughter of a visa ... Why we decided to go to America, even with a small child? Well the first reason, the wife of a very long time not seen their relatives, who left 20 years ago in the States, and I and daughter so they have never seen ...while we are very weakly believe that we all give a visa ... and second: what America is worse than other countries? "Yes like anything ... hence forth! Go tell-flight dalsya hard, who traveled with the children of this age understand what I mean ... no rest, not a second of rest .. almost all 10 hours of flying daughter rushed into a waiting room toilet in the middle of the cabin, well, right in the direction of the walk all adults every 2 minutes and tusuyut there in line, laughing heartily, and then she too must go there ... the dream she once seemed to have forgotten, so many people sitting and moving around in a small space, everyone can construct his eyes, you can treat your bun some water or a nice grandmother sitting in the back (loading and vysapav it all on my head .. not the best of intentions of course ... flying Delta, the tickets were bought for really ridiculous prices on their own site at 380 euros.

Almost a month before departure, I wool, found me here on the forum, saythttp: / / www.craiglist.com. We can say desperate, as they often offered apartments do not live up to my idea of ​​a normal house or a house owner asked prepay 100% + security deposit, that to say the least looks like a scam, but ... I pay tribute. Excellent apartment with oak flooring, furniture, hardware, granite kitchen and bathroom in the snow-white building with a concierge, carpet in the hallways and common view of the park, waiting for us on arrival in New York 23 maya.Samoe interesting that the owner of the apartment I saw lichsh through nedelyu.Klyuch He just put in an envelope wrote my name and left that same concierge .. The building was beautiful and simple name Master Apartments (apartment owner) and see the house owner himself often put his rattletrap right in front ... Tobiko wrote (a): a photo of apartments there =) well and keep on course! Apartment photos unfortunately did not, but ... it took off here, I was very surprised 4 (!) tap in the bathroom, then I realized why ... .. Doing long sets on Long Island and go to land at JFK (JFK).Our pram have been handed over before boarding flight attendants, who had already carefully laid on the floor at the beginning of aerotrapa, immediately after the release of samoleta.My, of course, we pass by it, hung on her daughter, bag, laptop, fotoryukzak and "light" breaks, along with other tourists, guests in Russia, "Americans," grinkardovtsami and someone else to passport control ... Their way, I want you to say, through the eerie shabby corridors with low ceilings on-the-chen depressing form, immediately reminded of our airports at a time of adjustment .. but this is nowhere else in the United States does not happen again ... Problems at passport control was not, not counting the very long queue of not menne than half a thousand people go to the baggage hall, the very same hall meetings that I was a little surprised, I could take absolutely any favorite suitcase (or five) and get off at street ... Embrace the American family, a short walk to the parking lot and here we are rushing down the highway in Queens, to see how American families live and something to snack on the edges of the road ... kind of grim faces two-storey houses, mosques, and hover over his head stretching emiratovskih advertising companies Emirates and Etihad (the other commercial airlines simply do not have) ... Actually, while as if from the UAE and did not leave Queens borough was quite nice, with no particularly outstanding architectural structures, primarily the built prewar brick low-rise buildings and villas. And struck the abundance of signs over shops and offices, duplicated in Russian.And I thought that a large "our" community only to Brighton, but no .. specifically looked at the sign outside the door of the big house with these names: two-thirds of Jewish-Russian and Asian sounds. Yes, there's all the Bukharan Jews have bought so-commented on my question relatives who have already set the table "breakfast" or "well, slightly off the path a meal - soup, eggs, pancakes with it, with the baked chicken, some pickles and pickles and lettuce only about five and a misted over a bottle of vodka ... After the fifth glass, I feel like a daughter pulls my leg and persistently reiterates Tata, Tata, which in her language means the stroller ... DVC We forgot her at the airport ... Finally found a stroller, her daughter is happy, we are terrified and just want to sleep valimsya down ... Woke up in "his" apartment on 103rd Street just for dinner ... I must admit that acclimation to a new time is pretty hard .. as you know, here in America as if everything turned on its head when we go .. sleep, say in Moscow, the Americans sit obedat.Osobenno traveling with young children should be prepared for your child's lack of understanding "what they want from me and why you can not sleep when I want" .. on it took us two days. Small fees linkage "of the equipment and necessary things" to handle the stroller and we are ready for inspection "of the Big Apple." It was difficult to draw a clear agenda in mind was just a mess of information received on the forum, viewed from the movies, read magazines and books and my favorite guidebook series DC. Remembering almost learned by heart the map of Manhattan in Google, I understand that if we go down to 103rd, then the idea upremsya in Central Park. Day turned out great, though cloudy, people on the streets almost there, and yes, today there Sunday ... drew level with the subway on Broadway find nebezysvestny Starbucks Coffee (Starbucks Coffee -11,000 coffee only in the States) and a crowd of people in the iprovizirovannoy Fair a little further up on Broadway ... In these coffee EVER, a small but ochered.Mesto just arhipopulyarno in New York, where people eat breakfast, lunch, work on laptops, reading, talking ... later returned to Moscow to comparison starbaksovskih franchised establishments, we have more precisely TWICE ... Taking the two "buckets" latte continue to walk, so we at Columbus Avenue - cross it, crashing into the African-American enclave, yes, Harlem slowly coming from the north ... ... Range of kids running around the dark, the same dark mother loudly discussing something at the entrance, a group of African American youth organized a barbecue on the baseball field from the speakers tape pours music hip hop clothes at all relevant (exactly like in the clips ) .. NO WHITE ... loe It is true that nobody ever asked us to buy the drug (s) ... see it was still light Well, that's the park, entering into it at once come across here on this here chela .. whether he was preparing for nuclear war, whether a boy scout we did not understand .. he quickly ran away ... The park certainly impresses with its size and grooming ..

Well done of course, have not seen anybody on the bench with beer , But like it is prohibited (they must hide in the package)! I kept thinking, how could it, a park, with 19 st century is not "pochikali" plot, because the land in Manhattan, just a "golden" ... krastota What a ... lyapota-ah (C) I want to say a special thank proteins ... they are simply there is a lot .. and to get our daughter to sit in the stroller and go further - had to promise that "voooon there for that tree will be more protein .. and you know she's always been Another feature of New York, and all of America is a cult sobak.Ih oh-oh-oh-ry much for them to have a bunch of stores, with food, clothing, there are hotels, there is a special profession-vygulschik dogs. Like squirrels, dogs have played a positive role in luring his daughter to continue to move forward .. dogs before, she had only seen on TV and in books, but alas in Dubai almost do not keep dogs, and then excitedly shook his head from side to side and repeating "avaf- avaf "... It looks like everything is the owners of dogs trained to clean up after their pets off their life, so bear with me cellophane bags .. the fine is not seen weaker 1: New York City "title =" " The American Dream " -3 weeks to find (many photos) Part 1: New York City "/> And of course a favorite theme of Americans talk about their pets, they can do this for hours with the first counter .. that's my grandmother, God dandelion something for a long time rubbing his daughter about his rather good-natured little dog and had the impression that they understand each other ... Two friends: big and small ... Day drew to a close, getting dark, we reached the southwestern tip of Central Park. Ago decided to ride the subway, going down to the station Columbus Seckl, immediately at the entrance to the park. Subway, to the delight of tourists and vagabonds, will not close ever. Who does not like the New York subway, yeah, maybe where dirty sometimes shabby and uncomfortable because of the narrow stairs, but I have not caused very negative impressions of themselves coaches pretty comfortable and clean.At first it was hard to understand the scheme itself: all of these transplants, standard lines, or express (only stop at certain stations and have their own track and platform), intricate passages .... .. But a couple of days has almost become a pro, and have themselves prompted tourists where you get to see the example of the Empire Steyts Building, seen from the fact that we have the baby and stroller we took a "local" Without thinking twice, we buy at the weekly pass for $ 25, entitling also enjoy all the bus linyami NY, which is very convenient. I note that almost always we were free to roll without folding the stroller into the car and have always been the place ... the audience goes very mixed bunch, certainly more colorful, or so it seemed to me ... Tired but happy return "home" concierge politely privetstveut the elevator: "Goodnight Sir" Our breakfast is usually always been of two parts: the first "home"-mostly fed her daughter "home" and the second - in the city, some coffee .. yes even in some, but ... is correct, Starbucks pulls you know, whether Today the route decided to increase the distance and time, and at the same time to ride the bus through the entire Manhattan. For this purpose, there are different bus lines M1, M5, and M104. Our metrokard clearly worked at the entrance of the bass. We went M5 th with its first stop right near "our" house in Riverside Park. Passing Broadway, then most boutique 5th Avenue, drive up to Washington Square Skvear ... Will not go into a historical epic about the origin of this monument, but I think most certainly remember him in the film "I am Legend" - there lived a hero Will Smith and hiding from the "undead" splashing the steps of his home which is "holy water".Oh, and this is an excellent starting point for exploring the areas of Greenwich and East Village, Soho to Tribeca, then to the Lower East Side. Once there was a town cemetery and a place for executions after poveshanie . Greenwich Village-the place of truth-deserved further study. From 19 th century to the present time there lived and probably hod hundreds of famous and not so writers, actors, screenwriters, musicians, artists - in a word bohemian place .. I think these fellows really know exactly everything - T. Dreiser, M. Twain, X . Ford, J. Belushi, D. Hoffmann, M. Brando ... The day was hot, people without affectation frolicked in a fountain, a strip of legs and other body parts. We, too, a little dip, we leave to the west, poglazest on sexual minorities, ostensibly to be here just to run herds ... The first signs were found ... here it is - "ul blue", so straight, without any "hints" and "around the bush" .. I nervously look around and keeping close to his wife Immediately beneath this sign is a shop selling small dogs, as I later learned, "best friends" of gays, for these same dogs, there are entire shops clothes "haute couture" with them as gay shevstvuyut on gay parades thrust of "friends" under the probably gladkovybrituyu, armpit ... Here as well hang a sign "not to play the pipe horns, fine $ 350" (or, in our opinion beeping banned) ... .. but well worth it undisturbed sleep tame dogs In general, the area is very picturesque, with lots of interesting shops of different fashion (we really do something does not fit) boutiques, designer t-shirts, bookstores, jazz clubs, cute cafes and bars .. inscription on the flag of the tavern: "consultants tavern business since 1998" ... "more green" - I thought, remembering his first bottle of port in the second class Here is someone's huge kotyara every four more "showcase those dogs," made his "case" in the wrong place ; Amp; quot; -3 weeks to find (many photos) Part 1: New York City "/> and calmly went to a very slow gait, somewhere along the Christopher Street, unobtrusive way, showing all its nominal collar (like I'm not just some pomoechny Koshak) ... but this street is seen named in honor of "friend" Winnie the Pooh se, they che, also the very same? ) In Greenwich Village remained a lot of beautiful old buildings of 19 th and even the 18th century, including the hospital where was treated by Edgar Allan Poe and first vnebrodveevsky theater .. Here, near the street of Bedford, is the narrowest house in NY .. width of 2.9 meters, a little farther on the same street, "living" characters of the series "Friends" .. their fans are going to the bar at home "friends" at the bottom-evident to recall some 135 series over a beer .. After working up an appetite, we conclude the examination of a meal in a rather desolate trattoria, but us at the next table sat two men: he .. he .. and tenderly looking at each other, eating lasagna ... Walking through one stop to the Lower East Side, get on Canal strit.Ulitsa is known today that you can buy everything and very cheap souvenirs, Leather and not very handbags and purses, umbrellas, electronics, perfumes, clothes and other counterfeit crap ...terrible fuss, lots of tourists, Chinese merchants and wonder who ... in the pavement can not go, in general the place quite uncomfortable, especially if you're a child in a stroller ... one I can there and fumbled for the exotic and visual sensations ... .. But once this place was a huge tank supplying in the 18 century the whole of New York with fresh water, then poured it on his site made the channel, hence the name of the street ... although the channel in the end was also closed. This street has long divided the Chinatown in the south of Little Italy to the north, but when during the Second World War, the Chinese once again opened the door to immigration after almost 70 years the ban on entry, They surged to a new force ... as a result of Little Italy, there are only a couple of quarters, which I was very disappointed ... and then .. you can call them Italian with a big stretch .. in the "Italian restaurants" are working all and sundry (we served Albanian), but not the Italians .. they almost all have been moved to more prosperous areas .. Charter wade through a crowd of onlookers (such as we might), zarulivaem the first restaurant to cool down the heat and drink a latte and cake by the way ... the place seemed very authentic ... sooty ceiling, the entire interior of the old wood, wood panel the walls and hanging pictures on them, checkered red and white tablecloths on the tables ... lacks only the Don Corleone of "Kresna Father" at the table in the corner. In the way it was shot here on this street ... The 20 meters and you are back in "China," selling everything, fish, vegetables, ducks on the grill What herbs and it is unclear what, hundreds of cheap restaurants, thousands of shops, bicycles, rickshaws, crabs in aquariums ... in short, I forgot that I was in New York and wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible ... somehow it seemed to me a cleaner and pomalolyudnee ... Yes, and here and Doyers Corner, the most bloody and treacherous steep street corner in New York, there are often appointed by the "arrow" gangsters and ambushes have been made ... the blood of hundreds of murders think deeply seeped into the ground under the bridge ... If anyone remembers the movie "Gangs of New York" might know what action film was once again at the site of today's Chinatown, on the patch at the intersection of five streets, is there now Columbus Park, where older Chinese playing chess and doing gymnastics .... We have already gone down to the East River, under the Manhattan Bridge, found a good playground, for our daughter-porazmyatsya, legs to run, but on the court were alone .. Chinese mothers and Chinese kids, a very funny way (in present China, I have not yet been ) ... it's Chinatown still can not leave us ... As you may recall, we have relatives in New York and we had parted with them on the first day, they promised to call and tell them that everything is okay and we spravlyaemsya.Nahodim first automaton quarters and dollars ... throw in the slot - something does not connect, click on the "refund", put your hands in the appropriate "pocket" ... nothing there ... ahem ... and then the memory takes me to the distant Soviet times, a provincial town, we, a handful of young boys, always puzzled as to cut down on money-easy to buy ice cream or a delicious soda .. Our "benefactor" - machine which gives a bargaining chip for standing right there with the soda machines ... to "earn" one would just plug a hole inside the machine, where falling coins, it was done with irregularly wound rags and our fine children's hands ... Raduya wit and ingenuity of New York's "colleagues", again put their hand into the slot and two fingers to feel for the top piece of paper, pull it slowly and ...

Roosevelt Drive, very long pier along the waterfront. Under the overpass full of life: fishermen catch fish apparently istriverskuyu, Latinos have brought a table and chopped in the cards under a Spanish-language rap, coming from a huge tape recorder .. at once African Americans are sitting on a bench under the Brooklyn Bridge and kvass beer (yes, you're right, hiding it in the package) a lot of people running around and ride bikes (all lined their path) ... Noticed from the first day that parking is not so much fun in New Yorke.Nayti free-arhitrudno, "catch"-street parking with coins is also very difficult to remain private parking, the price is certainly not for the faint of heart, and saw for $ 5 and 9 and for 19 ... h It is impossible not to say a few words about the Brooklyn Bridge - one of the business cards of New York at the time of discovery, he was the longest suspension bridge in the world, the first bridge will connect the island of Manhattan from Long Island, it was built 13 years and were first ipolzovany stranded steel cable . When it shall have lanes horse omnibuses, trolleys and trams. Now there are only 3 bands in every movement for the car (and the only passenger) and the walkway above the bridge by the way ... terribly shaken and shoot it with a tripod is useless. Reaching the Pirsa № 17 having a great time there: right at the pier piled pure and fine sand, put benches and umbrellas, people walking barefoot children potter at peske.Tut same under the awning cafe with hot hors d'oeuvres, a DJ plays music, who playing ping-pong, volleyball, who is very cool and fun, some beach-party in downtown New York City, did not expect ... all walking around with beer in plastic cups in the open, could not understand where he is hired until asked- found that the bar is at once a huge yacht moored (at the entrance to it was asked to show Idee) From this location offers excellent views once in three handsome bridges: Brooklyn, Manhattan and Brooklyn Villyamsburskiy.Vidny old houses and even the Statue of Liberty, to which we have not got ... y/193074-72d55-23355859-m750x740.jpg "alt =" " The American Dream " -3 weeks to find (many photos) Part 1: New York City "title =" " The American Dream & quot; -3 weeks to find (many photos) Part 1: New York City "/> Territory in the district when it held the first New York port, then the fish market. Now there a big shopping mall and many shops and restaurants along Fullton Street. It is also the Maritime Museum with exposed for review by the courts of several eras, and a dock for excursion boats and ships. All the building of the Pier is a multi-level shopping mall.Still a little walk, at sunset, choose a restaurant on the top floor with beautiful views of the Brooklyn Bridge. We order some sifud.Nas serving girl, probably from Russia or the CIS, but until recently did not give up, persistently speaks to us in English ... Although the day was long and we are pretty tired, not to mention his daughter, decide to jump in for a minute on Times Square to see the area at night ... Yes uuuuzhzhzhzh ... so many lights of the advertising I have never seen .... .. And so many tourists in one place ... .. But all seemed to understand the state of each other, this feeling of some inexplicable joy and smiles to meet you ... ... Here, two young people are worn with some sort of flag on which something is written in an unknown language to me, and a third of each photographing all this action, frame by frame ... they could cross the ocean on a rubber woman? or anything else in this spirit ... but the guys are very happy .. really .. Unusual this place - Times Square, I think we are still here zabezhim ... Today is colder ... we have to put on a warmed-over T-shirts "kengurushki (warm sweaters with hood-very popular way among the Robe of Americans, go to them with or without) Move on already "native" 103rd Street to the metro .. or rather to Starbucks .. warm "bucket" lat okay to us warm .. ... Casually draw attention to a plaque in just a house of "our" ... oh yeah .. let .. lived here before the war itself Humphrey Bogart - Hollywood megastar war and postwar years, who knows, the best known of his role in the the movie "Casablanca" ... he always played tough guys ... A train subway domchal us up to 23 street, pay attention to the entrance to the subway for example .. if I put down / pick up the stroller with bags hung on her, then break up on the ladder with someone unreal .. need to wait until all pass away, but often lower or on top of good Americans have given gesture, such as motionGuy, we'll wait ... In this area we want to find one well-known photographic shop ... .. but did not find one, and the other of their competitors ... successfully undertaken within the 2 hours, the sellers out there have the gift of hypnosis as a minimum ... I really liked the system show good seller .. listens to, what you want, very carefully so .. then punch in your computer .. offers several different prices and brands in a minute bends down and pulls out what you just said .. I then looked specifically - they have in the walls at floor level such as a hole near each vendor on the components it sends a signal to people in the basement and they expose ordered thing in this particular window ... that is, the seller is not distracted at all from his "session hypnosis "... We left happy, with shopping and" very visible "relief payment card ... To "home-iron," then a stone's throw Interesting this house Flatiron District, in the early 20 century, he was proud of the title of the first skyscraper in the world ... now of course the neighboring houses looking for him "down" ... Tiny Madison Park is full of people, almost lunchtime, though it is a tiny park, but there are also squirrels to eat properly - you have to "prodelyvat different numbers" Yet this area is known for the fact that here was born Roosevelt, now an unremarkable house Despite the rather chilly weather, some just lay down to rest on the pavement under the window of the shop trading mattresses .... given to store owners this uncle at least some stale mattress .. and dorbroe business and advertising ... There is an abundance of enticing not cheap health food store .. Luxury and overt povertyand get along nearby satellites of all the major cities, nothing can be done ... contrasts. Winding streets between trying to adhere to Park Avenue and the massive buildings rising above the distance MetLife and Chrysler Building ... but we're going to take a look at Grand Central Terminal, and it is a meal in the open in the early 20th century restaurant "Blue Oyster ... but no .. just" oyster bar "... a very popular place, even had trampled at the entrance to be planted at the table ... Terminal building itself is impressive and what a calm, do not know why that's such a feeling ... about how much there to make a film I am silent, I think any movie with a scene in New York is complete without a Grand Central .. someone who some encounters, escorts, laughing, crying ... The unusually high ceilings, beautifully decorated in the form sozvezdiy.Nu and of course hanging with him a huge American flag, let alone without a flag that ... The terminal itself is the largest of rail station in the world by number of platforms ... but outside of the building not seen any trains or rails, asall laid in the tunnels under the ground, including multi-level platform ... In general railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt - cool and uvazhuha ... there it is there at the top of the pedestal from grateful citizens ... yes, in his place by the way was hanging upside down caught undead hero Will Smith movie "I am Legend" .. . In the evening is the weather cleared and there was a sun .... sunset in New York very beautiful .. especially when the sun, appearing in the lumen of very long and straight streets, its rays reflected from the glass skyscrapers and just the windows of houses ... but it happens in minutes , then the sun moves to another street, then another one ... and then it disappears for the Hudson ... The weather that day does not please us a bright sun and blue sky with white clouds, all tightened some haze, fog soon .. We are upset for one reason-possible dull and faded photographs ... and so we are very much like - heat and the scorching heat of Dubai to be fed and sometimes want to put on any sweater or sweatshirt, pomoknut under a refreshing shower ... And what is this strange "skirt" on the rear bumper? Yeah, on what the Americans do not make money, it is seen that here the industrial production of such "short skirts" - I then saw them a lot in New York and other major gorodah.Eto some protection from bumps and scratches, because shortage of places for parking makes drivers cram cars bumper to bumper ... while leaving a free decent distance around each fire cock .. you can not park for five yards before him, and for five yards-after .. and no one parks "Dive" into metro.Ehat "far" in the lower-Manhetten.Budem look at the financiers, the bronze bull and the Statue of Liberty.We leave to Fullton Street - to little to walk down Broadway to Trinity Church (Trinity Church), and in the course of planning to see something that remained of the "handsome twin", but we waited a little razocharovnie as a place the size of a football stadium, this is just a huge building surrounded with a fence ... But the monument, I do not know why, but it seems to some clips, clothespins ... and across the road is not less important composition in the form of a red cube ... maybe it looks ridiculous, but somehow it becomes more fun to walk among the swingers skyscrapers .. I guess everyone noticed the girl running ahead of me in legentsah and winter (!) Boots ... still a lot of different girls I saw on the streets in decent dress, with elegant handbags and ... rubber boots (!) such as ladybirds .. it seems such the rage in New York .. Everyone remembers from the movies, standing on every corner of New York's small truck, of which sell hot dogs ... such net.Ih been replaced already more advanced carts, with a menu in a restaurant .. nehily dishes at least 30. . all the food, Halal .. all sellers on mind-Arabs .. and surprise that "People hawala" That's already come to the chapel of the Trinity with the "home" graveyard. And the older the cemetery of the church itself .. but the church is nice, all this gothic ... Sometime in the late 19 th century it was the highest (!) The building of Manhattan, and 80 s of the 20 century it was visited by Queen Elizabeth with Prince Philip , as evidenced by the brass "star" Sticky on the stairs. In the courtyard of the church, an American sculptor set processed root of the tree remaining on the site of the crash of the twin towers ... And anyway, if not raise your head up, it creates the impression that you wander somewhere in Europe ... and much as he raised his head .. Wall Street - a narrow street leading to the New York Stock Exchange.Why it's called Wall Street - "Street-Wall"? It's simple - there really was once wall-protects only that originated in New York against the raids of various Chingachgook and other enemies ... Though this area of ​​the financiers, neatly cropped dandy in suits by Armani, at the worst of Brioni, with leather briefcases in hand, buyers of stale citizens zolotishka also have to be here ... And here it is the picture from the box, which can be seen in every issue of financial news, "Johnson .. The Dow sank to ......" This cluster of police of all stripes, I have not seen perhaps nowhere .. all approaches to the" heart "Financial District are protected by a pack of just the cops, cops with dogs, security services, the streets are blocked by special lifts the entire width of preventing the passage of vehicles (especially those that can be loaded with gold from the vaults, as we have seen many times in Hollywood action movies) And all because in this place also has one of the 12 reserve banks in the USA Tee - "take" which was the cherished dream of our beloved Max movie "What Happens in America ".... and" take "was that ... 5 Tee ground floor is the world's reserves of gold, neatly folded stack of ingots, blocks of money .. all of this and have to keep an army of police and a series of 90-ton doors that ... If you say to your 20 dollar bill you see on the left "print" with the letter "B", be aware that this bill gave way to life in this Reserve Bank. Suexist even special "Shift vans for transportation of dogs nyuhachey ... But office-service, and donuts on a schedule And of course difficult to pass a business card, the financial district and the entire New York City - this handsome bronze "attacking a bull." The history of its appearance in this meste.V the late 80's under the cover of darkness, then still an unknown sculptor Arturo Di Modica brought his 3-ton bull in the stock market and managed to unload it with your friends, right under the Christmas tree stood there, thereby making a gift to the city and giving them a symbol of faith in the future financial success, following the collapse of the exchange 87 th year.
