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

on a sea trip 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. east river ferry. the east river ferry connects brooklyn with manhattan and 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 new york project. new york before the era of skyscrapers and a food court 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 another life of kombucha, how a brooklyn startup made a superfood from drinks in a three-liter jar. secret. place in the catacombs - classic

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 seaport, i was always amazed how this oldest part of the city is constantly getting younger and not losing itself. seaport is a very fashionable place, and also another time capsule of new york, why now i will explain. a sailboat of the xix century.

cozy streets and a huge modern pier. south street seaport is not only another popular tourist spot on the city map. you can say that new york began here 400 years ago. the first pier and wharf appeared on the east river in 1625, when the dutch west india company established its outpost here. the port developed quickly and gave rise to a new city, new amsterdam, later renamed new york. did not immediately acquire 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 seaport district unites several historic city blocks on the eastern edge of manhattan. they were almost untouched modern urbanization. this is one of those unique corners of new york that recreates the atmosphere of the city in detail.

past eras. brick buildings in the english style, street lamps cobblestones. the streets adjacent to the south street port help tourists imagine what old new york looked like before skyscrapers appeared in lower manhattan. the decoration of the seaport 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, pier 17 with its shops and restaurants. after hurricane sandy in 2012, it was completely rebuilt. after the reconstruction , pier 17 changed a lot, it 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 quickly became popular. hundreds of thousands of people have already visited us here, such stars as diana kings ros, ringo of leon, star, amy shumar and trevor noah have performed here.

from pier 17 tells about how, how the seaport is being transformed and revived post-pandemic. the seaport has a huge history and we wanted to preserve that, especially through our relationship with the seaport museum and their historic ships, but we also wanted to rejuvenate the area and make it a special place for new yorkers and tourists alike. we decided to reimagine the traditional idea of ​​the pier and breathe new life into it. by creating a dining destination and a waterfront retreat that also offers a taste of history. cities. seaport used to be famous for its fish market. khultan fish market, one of the largest in the country. in the 21st century , it moved to the bronx, and a modern shopping center opened in the building. the neighborhoods adjacent to the seaport 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 seaport

is the tin building. it was once part of a fish market, but today it is a stylish food court with restaurants. premium class. we tried to preserve the appearance of the building as much as possible, so the color scheme, facade, windows, door layout, everything is as close as possible to what was in the original, when the building was built in 1907. through the port, or rather above it, runs the fdr drive, the franklin roosevelt highway, under it is a coastal park, walking bike paths and stalls with souvenirs and traditional american hot dogs. poulton street is the bradvesti of the port, fashionable boutiques next to art installations. there is even a boxing gym, in the seaport museum you can dive into its history , the history of new york itself. in front of the entrance to the seaport is the titanic memorial, its passengers and crew. the monument is 18 m high in the form of a lighthouse. at one time, it was installed 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 still. the calling 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 probably pier 15. pier 15 is famous for its observation deck, among other things, from here you can see the sea port and have 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 eastribert. on board the frigate were 980 thousand gold pounds,

in modern terms, it is more than 185 million dollars. the british, however, denied that there was gold on the ship, but nevertheless equipped an expedition to search for the frigate three times. since then, historians have remembered the sunken ship approximately every 10 years, and is the treasure still there or there? everyone has their own idea of ​​what to consider treasure, for some it is not gold coins and jewelry, but ordinary buttons, well, not quite ordinary, farhadi rose buttons can be seen on the red carpet, on the royal when i was a kid, i used to run after my mother asking all the time: mom, what else can i fix for you? i had a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver, all the tools. i loved making different things since childhood, 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. my mother let them in, look, there is no business here, here's just a kid. the cop was so impressed he said, "wow, you did all this." i said, "yeah." he just couldn't believe it. my name is roz. i was born in iran. when i was sleeping in our backyard, i had a little radio. i'd look at the sky and listen to it. i remember when they announced that neil armstrong had landed on the moon, i knew i wanted to be a part of it, and it happened, you see, 1987, new york polytechnic

institute, majoring in engineering. i came to new york in 1978. year. i bought tickets to new york, i studied solid mechanics, defended my diploma, to buy after graduating from the institute i started working as an engineer, so one day during an offended break. i went to buy buttons, but there were none like the ones i needed. the seller said that he could order them, i said: "okay." to which he said that i would 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 am i 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 calmly accept if something goes wrong, look what button i'm going to show you now, interesting, this button came out of the sea, it's a shell, and this side is silver. my name is harry, i was born and raised in new york, maybe in 50 years i'll die in new york? ross opened the store 35 years ago, and i came here a couple of years ago, as a customer, stayed to help if you need a button for 15 cents or $125 we do everything for you we made buttons for meghan markle's mom for meghan and harry's wedding

70% are our buttons and ross doesn't even know that most of his buttons are on tv these were for madonna and her team i like to see the results of my work right away to make buttons i need

we continue our journey across the easterly not to swim it's strictly forbidden because the water in new york harbor is all still very polluted and when it will be cleaned up like the goodzone on the west bank is still unknown, unknown, but these guys seem to have a very interesting idea, hi, i'm archie, i'm jeff, and i'm don for the city of encirclement. for 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, what if instead of trying to clean the whole river, start with a small part. these guys are certainly very persistent, they have already attracted the creation of a public pool pool plus, the best engineers and scientists. the townspeople are raising money for its creation through an online kickstarter, but so far the matter has not gone beyond experiments. probably, the idea of ​​a pool in the middle of the 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 like crazy. hi, i'm artem baybus, and today i will tell you how to cover a three-liter jar of kombucha with gauze. 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 that grew on the surface of sweet tea, and out of curiosity they decided to try it. it turned out that the taste of tea changed greatly. kombucha is obtained due to the 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).

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 kombucha with enzymes and probiotics. the result is low-calorie, very tasty, sour on ... it turns out that kombucha is not only tasty, but also useful, probiotics serve as a barrier against harmful bacteria and pathogens, and also help. are 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 ... tasted like dirty socks, but i was determined to drink it for 2 weeks, that kombucha 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, before i ...

came up with some bright flavors for my kambucha. before i started making kambucha, i was mixing cocktails at parties for friends, experimenting a lot. my brother, a chef, and i, apparently, went in the direction of drinks. i was just thinking 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 complicated combination. i tried to match the fruit with aromatic herbs that bring out the flavors.

the big advantage of this 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 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 on the project. it would seem a trifle, but new yorkers are not very pleased. by the way, it was known that the first underwater tunnel was laid by wist 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

we delve into the topic, a concert in the cemetery catacombs vladimir lensky. never seen anything like this, neither have we. with the onset of dusk, the gates of the historic greenwood cemetery are closed. no one from the worldly life is allowed on the other side or that grille. nothing should disturb the peace of the famous dead. i recently received a strange invitation by e-mail: come to a secret mesa. i was hesitant about going, but two things decided the matter for me: greenwood cemetery, the catacombs. niches 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. and it was he who coined the term "the four hundred" for the select group of new york high society. they all - captains of industry, bankers, the elite of the art world - are buried in these hills nearby. ward mcallister and other members of the gilded age high society were unlikely to have listened to the music at their social gatherings, which in their presence, today will be performed by the mesa william byrd chamber orchestra and choir. 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, the setting, cemeteries, a set table, characters, musical pieces, all this is intended to encourage you. to really listen, immersion in virtual reality without gadgets and the internet, part art installation, part concert, part immersive theatre, secret bird is a creation of bill barclay's creative imagination, six singers and six musicians, who lead the audience step by step through a forbidden mass, reminding them of the fragility of life, faith and tolerance. we are transported to the 1590s, when... stols in england were persecuted for performing services in latin. william byrd, a luminary of british music, composes three secret places for cathartics when their life,

health and freedom are under threat. we are trying to recreate that atmosphere, at a special table in period costumes, as if the family had secretly invited their catholic friends to pray. they secretly bring a jesuit priest into the house, as it would have been in the late 16th century, and they do it. burt was a devout catholic, everyone knew it, including queen elizabeth i, but he was a genius, he held the high office of gentleman of the royal chapel, so he could cover for and support the catholics, who in the reformation were quartered and burned at the stake. it could to happen to him, but it did not. he died of a heart attack, 400 years ago, surrounded by wealth and honors, and today his music is in the program of death of class concerts.

such an opportunity, at least out of curiosity, we will see each other in the same city, but in a new place, look for us by hashtag. and this is the main job of our heroine nina, she introduces a mini-loader on a farm in the village of mukhino in the kirov region, she studied specially for this, nina has a license for
