stand clear of the closing doors. in august, you remember that manhattan is an island after all, and that there are several relatively cheap ways to pretend that we are on a short vacation. we are talking, of course, about the ferries, the romans that leave from the manhattan shore every 20 minutes. you can, of course,

go on a sea voyage on the famous orange staten island ferry. it sails past the statue of liberty, but we have already been there, we have not tried this yet. the east river ferry. the east river ferry connects brooklyn with manhattan from queens. but our goal is not to go for a walk around these areas, but simply to distance ourselves from the city, to look at it from the outside. this is the voice of america. the new york project. new york before the era of skyscrapers and foodport instead of a fish market, what the first port of new amsterdam looks like after renovation. buttons for will smith and prince harry's mother-in-law. how an immigrant engineer became a button maker and never regretted it. kombucha with jalapeno pepper or the other life of kombucha, how a brooklyn startup made a superfood from a drink in a three-liter jar.

in the catacombs classics from the old crypt, how to spend summer evenings at the legendary greenwood cemetery. and did you know that istriavar is not a river at all, but a strait, it does not even have pressed water, and the current changes twice a day depending on the tide, either towards new jersey, or up towards connecticut. be that as it may, it is water, and the closer the water, the more pleasant it is to stretch out the summer, and here you. just to help the seport area. we were very often in downtown and in the seaport, i was amazed all the time, how the oldest part of the city is constantly getting younger and not losing itself. the sauth street seaport is a very fashionable place, and also another time capsule of new york. why? i'll explain now. a 19th century sailboat.

cozy streets and a huge modern pier. sauth street seaport is not only another popular tourist spot on the city map, you could say that new york began here 400 years ago. the first pier and wharf appeared on the east river coast in 1625, when the dutch west india company founded its outpost here. port developed rapidly and gave rise to a new city, new amsterdam, later renamed new york. immediately acquired its modern outlines. it gradually expanded. the first waterfront ran under pearl street. then it expanded to water street, front street by the beginning of the 19th century to south street, the southern street, where the waterfront runs today. today, the seport area unites several historic city blocks on the eastern edge of manhattan. they have been almost untouched by modern urbanization. this is one of those unique corners of new york, which in detail recreates the atmosphere of the city of the bly. eras. brick

buildings in the english style, street lamps paving. the streets adjacent to the south street port help tourists imagine what old new york looked like before skyscrapers appeared in nizhnemten. the decoration of the sea port and a magnet for tourists. there has always been a sailboat waver 3, a wooden tug-decker, on which you can even ride, and of course, the seventeenth pier, with its shops and restaurants. after hurricane sandy in 2012 it was completely rebuilt. after the reconstruction of the reconstruction , pier 17 has changed a lot, it has essentially turned into a multi-story futuristic pavilion. on the roof of the pier is now one of the most unusual open-air concert venues in new york, which has quickly become popular. hundreds of thousands of people have already visited us here, such stars as diana ross, ringo star, kings of leon, amy schumer and trevor noah have performed here. vice president of howard huws corporation , the owner of pier 17

tells the story of how the seaport is being transformed and revived after the pandemic. the seaport has a huge history, and we wanted to preserve that, especially through our. neighborhood to make it special wanted to renew this place but as we are also for new yorkers and tourists. we decided to reimagine the traditional idea of ​​the pier and breathe new life into it by creating a restaurant center and a recreational place on the waterfront, where you can also soak up the history of the city. the seaport was formerly famous for its fish market fish market, one of the largest in the country. century, it moved to the bronx, a modern shopping center opened in the building. the neighborhoods adjacent to the sea port were turned into a pedestrian zone, there are a lot of restaurants and open-air cafes here, this place is very popular not only with tourists, but also with new yorkers themselves. and another historical building on the map of the city is the tin building.

it was once part of the fish market, but today it is a stylish food court with premium restaurants. we tried to preserve the appearance of the building, as it was. titanic, its passengers and crew, a monument 18 m high in the form of a lighthouse, at the time it was erected on the initiative of margaret brown, one

of the surviving passengers of the ship, also known as the unsinkable mole. mcnally jackson books is a two-story victorian-style bookstore, undoubtedly. the card of this manhattan area, people come here for a book or for a photo as a souvenir, but the most picturesque place for a photo shoot is, perhaps, pier 15. pier 15 is famous, among other things, for its observation deck, from here you can see the sea port and get a good view of downtown from the trivor. while you admire the manhattan skyline, we will tell you an amazing story: in 1780 , a british warship called the hussar sank in east bay. on board the frigate were 980 thousand gold pounds,

which in today's exchange rate is more than 185 million dollars. the british, however, denied that there was gold on the ship, but nevertheless equipped an expedition three times to search for the frigate. i used to ask my mother all the time: mom, what else can i fix for you? i had a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver, all the tools. since childhood, i loved making different things, i could make something incredible out of ordinary cement and brick.

i remember how i was sitting one day hammering, as usual, suddenly our neighbor came with a policeman. she complained that some work was being done in our apartment. i remember how they announced that neil armstrong landed on the moon, i realized that i also wanted to be involved in this, and it happened, you see, 1987, new york polytechnic

institute, majoring in engineering, i came to new york in 1978, i think my mom sold it to buy me tickets to new york, i studied solid mechanics , defended my diploma, after graduating i started working as an engineer, so one day during an offended break. i went in to buy buttons, but there were none like the ones i needed. the salesman said he could order them. i said okay. to which he said i'd have to wait a month. a month, why? because they are made in europe. i have always loved to do everything with my own hands. i decided to try to make these buttons myself. and look where i am now. you never know how things will turn out

in your life, you take a small step to the side of your path, everything can change, but you have to be brave and calmly accept if something goes wrong, look what an interesting button i will show you now, this button came from the sea, it is a shell, and this side is silver. my name is harry, i was born and raised in new york, maybe in 50 years and die in new york. ross opened the store 35 years ago, and i came here a couple of years ago as a customer to help. if you need a button for 15 cents or for 125 thousand dollars, we do everything for you. we made buttons for megan markle's mother, for megan and harry's wedding. if you saw the oscar ceremony where.

we continue to travel the eastward without swimming, it is strictly forbidden, because the water in new york harbor is still very polluted and when it will be cleaned up like the goodzone on the west bank, it is not yet known, it is not known, but these guys seem to have a very interesting idea, hi, i'm archie, i'm jeff, and i'm don, for a city surrounded by water. the best city on earth, it seems a little strange that you have to go somewhere to swim in clean water, it all started with a simple idea that if instead of trying to clean the whole river, start with a small part, these guys, of course, are very persistent, they have already attracted to the creation of a public pool pool plus the best engineers scientists, the townspeople are raising money for its creation via online kickstarter, but so far it hasn't gone beyond experiments. the idea of ​​a pool in the middle of a river needs time like any startup, for example, at the beginning of the 21st century in america they were

very suspicious of the drink made from kombucha, now they sell it as a superfood. artem baybus went to just such a brooklyn startup to find out all about kambucha. kambucha production is growing by leaps and bounds. hi, i'm artem baybus, and today i'll tell you how to make kombucha from a three-liter jar covered with gauze has won the hearts of new yorkers. the birthplace of kombucha is the birthplace of tea, ancient china. it is believed that kombucha originated during the qing dynasty, around 220 ad. according to legend, monks noticed strange disks growing on the surface of sweet tea. and out of curiosity, they decided to try it. it seemed that the taste of the tea changed dramatically. kombucha is made by a symbiosis of microscopic yeast cells and bacteria that live in harmony. with each other and form a colony or scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and the east).

the scoby looks like a dense disk and acts as a small plant for fermenting the drink. yeast and bacteria begin to feed on the sugar in the tea and produce vinegar and alcohol. then the alcohol is fermented by bacteria and turns into organic acids. this saturates the kambucha with enzymes and probiotics. the result is a low-calorie, very tasty, sour drink. it turns out that kambucho is not only tasty, but also healthy. probiotics serve as a barrier against harmful bacteria. and pathogens, and also help in the process. i have a friend with cheese intolerance, but when he started drinking kombucha, i was able to eat cheese without any negative reactions. probiotics are a good thing, for example, about 90% of serotonin is produced in the intestines, so it is useful to drink kombucha to maintain health, eat fermented foods in general to improve the intestinal microflora.

i started doing kombucha because of health problems, i was taking strong antibiotics, after a course of treatment i had ... it seemed to me that kambucha tasted like dirty socks, but i was determined to drink it for 2 weeks until my problem disappeared, i suffered with it for about four months, and kambucha dealt with it in a couple of weeks, then i thought, it really works, but what an unpleasant taste, i need to work on this, i used to do visual effects and animation. i worked on the films ice age and rio, made commercials and did a lot of programming. i have a lot of technical experience. and i started, carefully delving into all the details, studying scientific articles, learn more about the process of research, tried to understand how to improve the taste of kambucha. i experimented for several years

to improve the taste. i tortured my poor family, gave them so much kambucha that they could not stand it. before i started making kambucha, i mixed cocktails at parties for friends, experimented a lot, my brother, a chef, and i, apparently, went into drinks, i just thought of interesting combinations that are inspired by cocktails, for example, strawberry jalapeno, obviously would make a great margarita, right, blueberries and lavender, that's a more complex combination, i tried to match the fruit and aromatic herbs that would bring out each other's flavors.

the big advantage of such a boat trip is the change of perspective, it's nice, for example, to look at the new york bridges from the side and be glad that you don't have a car, because this week the price of travel across the bridges into manhattan has increased by 6-9%. only the brooklyn, williamsburg and manhattan bridges remain free, and in a week the price will increase for travel. it would seem a trifle, but the nyuk people are not very pleased, but in general, by the way, knew that the first underwater tunnel was laid by beast river, it was dug 130 years ago at a depth of 41 m under the surface of the water, it was a gas pipeline, by the way, still in operation , well, since we have already gone underground,

i suggest delving into the topic, a concert in the cemetery catacombs vladimirsky. i have never seen anything like this, we too, with the onset of dusk the gates of the historic cemetery greenwood close, no one from the world-living is allowed on the other side summer bars, nothing should disturb the peace of the famous dead. i recently received a strange invitation by e-mail: come to a secret mass, i was hesitant about going, but two things decided the question for me: greenwood cemetery, the catacombs. tunnels 30. hidden under the hill, locked behind iron gates, the catacombs, the oldest landmark of greenwood cemetery, are rarely open to the public, they were built in the 1850s as an alternative to burial in the ground for those who could not afford a separate mausoleum. one of the most famous of those buried in the catacombs is ward mcallister, a tastemaker of the gilded age high society.

mcallister was a close friend of the astaire magnates and a familiar figure in mrs. astaire's ballroom, to be precise. he coined the term "the four hundred" for the select group of new york high society. they all, captains of industry, bankers, and the elite of the art world, are buried in these hills nearby. ward mcallister and other members of the gilded age high society are unlikely to their social gatherings listened to the music that the william byrd mesa chamber orchestra and choir will perform in their presence today. are we comfortable performing in the presence of the dead? it creates a charged environment, forces the audience not only to hear, but to listen to

the music. we want to achieve immersion in the music, to find delight in it. we constantly hear sounds without really listening to them. costumes, candles, decor, a cemetery, a laid table, a character in a musical play, all this is intended to motivate you. truly listen to immersion in virtual reality without gadgets and the internet, part art installation, part concert, part immersive theater, secret bird, the product of the creative imagination of bill barclay, six singers and six musicians, lead the audience step by step through the forbidden mass, reminding about the fragility of life, about faith and tolerance. we are transported to the 1590s , when ...

in latin at home. burt was a devout catholic, everyone knew about it, including queen elizabeth i, but he was a genius held the high office of gentleman of the royal court chapel, so he could cover and support the catholics, who were quartered and burned at the stake during the reformation. it could have happened to him, but it didn't. he died of a heart attack 400 years ago, surrounded by wealth and honors. and today his music is on the program of the death of classic concerts. the death of classics. the death of classics is, of course, ironic. we are simply pointing out how classical music likes to mourn its own imminent demise. constantly.

we see it in articles from a hundred years ago about how classical music will immediately die out. our concerts are an attempt to rethink the way people perceive music without changing the music itself in any way. we do whiskey tastings, wine tastings, twilight walks through a cemetery. we perform in very unusual. brevity, the preciousness of life. all our programs, whether it's late beethoven or work like today, create something expressive and thought-provoking.

they remind you of the most important things in life, about the shared experience of empathy, about what unites us, not divides us. so you enter the inner circle of underground cathartics, the english reformation era, a secret society, the only witnesses of the action are your accomplices, fans of classical music. oh, and, of course, the new york dead, who rest behind the massive summer gates in the catacombs of the victorian cemetery, but they will keep this secret too. so for $4 , 16 miles and 40 minutes of pleasure on a trip from the southern tip of manhattan to the north. it was photogenic, but a little seasick. in general, public water transport in new york has grown many times over the past few years, increased 10

times, six routes, 27 ships, 21 piers, brooklyn, bronx, queens and staten island. in general, it would be stupid not to take advantage of this opportunity, at least out of curiosity. see you in the same city, but in a new place. find us by hashtag.

my first repartation, i remember this was a visit to belarus, mikhail garbachov, then president of the ussr, he spoke at academy of sciences, geta byu, darechy, such canned pavarot garbachova

ў 91st year, and here's geta... by miracle they have this opening uh in prague which is for digital media editor which was kind of screaming my name because i was like no tv reporter and my side gigs were social i was running some social media accounts for various companies so that was and then this is exactly what uh rfe needed back then the balcon service to have someone with journalistic uh skills who can tell story for different platforms and at that time, it seems to me, i was a fairly recognizable journalist in ukraine, i worked for many years on one channel, we went to donbass every month, i was a war correspondent, so on one of the next missions in july 20, i was at the positions, right, it was in the donetsk region, a call rang, on my mobile, it was vova runets, and he said, look, there was

a position for a presenter. "you can go to an interview if you are interested, because it seems like the management would like to see this tract of theirs and so on, after 2 months i came to this company, and step by step - began to learn, not that radio liberty, of course in ukraine and knew and know, the tv channel current time, probably a little less, i knew less, began to learn, to be interested in what exactly the kidnapping of people by security forces, torture in police departments, i made materials from courtrooms, in the sixteenth year i already moved to prague and work here for the entire russian caucasus service. good afternoon, the tv channel current time is worried,

can we expect. hello everyone, with you andrey derkach.
