Description: Long before President Dwight D. Eisenhower broke ground for the Lincoln Center performing arts complex in 1959, the area from Columbus Circle through the neighborhoods called Lincoln Square and San Juan Hill was already something of an arts center. Jazz and opera and rock 'n' roll, Shakespeare and Ibsen and musical theater, the visual arts and the invention of the Charleston all happened there. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/01/arts/01expl.html

Description: THIS time of year one of Manhattan's signature pleasures is a stroll up Fifth Avenue from 59th Street on a crisp, clear weekend morning. To your left, the trees of Central Park stubbornly clutch fistfuls of green and yellow leaves. To your right, doormen in long coats and matching caps stamp their feet at the discreet entrances to the city's most exclusive residential buildings. And strung like pearls all up the avenue are fine mansions built by captains of industry and robber barons around the turn of the 20th century. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/14/arts/14expl.html
