New York Word Search
Forty New York words: the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, plus Broadway, Times Square, Central Park, the subway and a bagel from the corner deli.
The Dutch called their trading post on Manhattan New Amsterdam. The English took it in 1664 and renamed it for the Duke of York, the king's brother. The five boroughs joined as one city only in 1898, and the first subway line opened in 1904. Between 1892 and 1954 about twelve million immigrants passed through the station on Ellis Island, a short ferry ride from the Statue of Liberty.
Central Park was designed in 1858 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who planned every hill and lake in it; almost nothing there is natural. The nickname Big Apple came from horse racing: in the 1920s the sportswriter John J. Fitz Gerald heard stable hands call the New York races the big apple, the top prize, and put it in his column.
