					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1968/1/Long-Island-CIty-Comes-Into-its-Own/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;There was a time when Long Island City&rsquo;s waterfront area wasn&rsquo;t exactly a hot residential neighborhood. With its looming industrial buildings
&nbsp;with a few small residential buildings thrown together near the East River, the
&nbsp;area was more On the Waterfront than Sex and the City.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Examining a few pounds of freeze-dried goji berries in the Bowery neighborhood&#8217;s Whole Foods market, it is easy to forget that you might be standing in the
 exact spot where the Bowery Boys, clad terrifyingly in stovepipe hats and
 flared trousers, clashed with rival gang, the Dead Rabbits. You snag a smidgeon
 of organic goat cheese and stroll up the Bowery, completely unaware that in a
 different time you might have been stepping over Bowery bums stumbling out of
 McGurk&#8217;s Suicide Hall. And passing the New Museum of Contemporary Art with a parasol
 slung over your shoulder, you can scarcely hear the piercing electric echoes of
 CBGB, a launching pad for American punk rock and bands like the Ramones,
 Blondie, and the Talking Heads.

					  <description><![CDATA[If only I had had an extra $100,000 25 years ago. (OK&#8212;an extra $100,000, today would be good too.) But that&#8217;s what I kept thinking as I sat chatting with Oliver Allen, a retired journalist and author who is now a regular contributor to his neighborhood&#8217;s monthly community newspaper, The Tribeca Triband its &#8220;unofficial&#8221; historian, in the to-die-for loft that he has shared with his wife Deborah since 1983. That&#8217;s the year the two of them pulled out of suburban Pelham, New York and never looked back. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The heart of New York City is Times Square. Named for the good times you have when you are&#8230;in it,&#8221; says Michael Scott in the NBC comedy, The Office. He then heads into Sbarro for a &#8216;real&#8217; New York slice. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[With so much going on, so much frenetic energy, life in New York City takes the utmost focus. The senses are overwhelmed with stimuli&#8212;people, dogs in sweaters, neon advertisements, new construction, bleating traffic&#8212;and amidst all that, there is work, board meetings, family; personal lives and the responsibilities of day-to-day life. In some ways, like carriage horses in Central Park, we all have to put our blinders on sometimes, and in a bustling city like this, it is no wonder that as the present moves forward, some relics of the past&#8212;buildings, landmarks, even whole neighborhoods, are largely forgotten. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Emma Lazarus perhaps said it best in her immortal poem in which she spoke about the wave of immigrants that were welcomed to American&#8217;s golden shores. Generation upon generation of newcomers have chosen to settle in New York City and its boroughs to find their piece of the American dream. They came from every country, economic class and social strata to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, to Brooklyn and Queens, to places like Bushwick and Bensonhurst and many other neighborhoods, to start a new life in America. Between 1820 and 1860, a total of four million immigrants entered the United States, most coming through New York City. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The Big Apple. Paris has just as much romantic cachet. Rome is every bit as frenetic. London has excellent theater, too, and there are also esteemed financial institutions in Zurich and Hong Kong and Frankfurt. Tokyo and Mumbai and Jakarta have just as much population density, if not more. Berlin&#8217;s art scene is probably more robust. Kuala Lampur has tall skyscrapers as well. And the cabbies drive just as crazily in Naples. But no other city has all of those things, and more. As former Mayor Rudy Giuliani put it to David Letterman a few years ago, suggesting a new motto for New York: &#8220;We can kick your city&#8217;s&#8230;&#8221; Well, you can imagine. It was Rudy talking, after all. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Back in 1900, a little village sprouted up on Long Island called "Comac" along the Huntington/Smithtown town line. Located in the little hollow created by the gently rolling hills that surrounded the intersection of Jericho Turnpike and the Commack/Townline Road, it was a cross-roads community that stretched out to the north, south east and west from Comac Corners. ]]></description>
