The Garment worker by Judith Weller This is a permanent sculpture located at 555 Seventh Avenue (also known as Fashion Avenue) between 39th and 40th Streets in midtown Manhattan. The 8-foot bronze sculpture called "The Garment Worker" was created by JUDITH WELLER (b.1937, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a realistic rendering of a garment worker, wearing a yarmulke and hunched over a hand-operated sewing machine. The figure is modeled after the artist’s father, who was a machine operator in New York’s garment industry. “When I was a little girl, I recall seeing him at work,” Well explained. “I utilized what I know of him as well as my memory in creating the sculpture.” The sculpture was created to commemorate the Jewish garment workers, the backbone of Jewish life in New York at the turn of the century. www.publicartfund.org/view/exhibitions/5986_garment_worker

Giant Needle and Button “Needle Threading a Button” the Claes Oldenburg-inspired sculpture in the garment district. On Fashion Avenue, in the middle of it all – a reminder of where fashion really begins. The needle and button were designed by Pentagram Architectural Services and built in 1995. They are symbolic of the garment industry for which the district is named. The 5 holes are making a stylized F, which is the logo for the fashion district

New York first assumed its role as the center of the nation's garment industry by producing clothes for slaves working on Southern plantations. It was more efficient for their masters to buy clothes from producers in New York than to have the slaves spend time and labor making the clothing themselves. In addition to supplying clothing for slaves, tailors produced other ready-made garments for sailors and western prospectors during slack periods in their regular business. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, the majority of Americans either made their own clothing, or if they were wealthy, purchased "tailor-made" customized clothing. By the 1820s, however, an increasing number of ready-made garments of a higher quality were being produced for a broader market. Manufacturing in the state of New York, and in New York City in particular, faded in the late 20th century. This has been exemplified by the decline of the Garment District. The district lost well over a thousand factory jobs per year, and men pushing racks of garments from one workshop to another ceased to crowd the streets. Factories and showrooms are increasingly becoming condo apartments and retail.

Ньюйоркеры всегда спешат. Только гости города - туристы передвигаются неспеша, усталой походкой.

Человек не попрошайничает. Честно зарабатывает деньги. Дикие ритмы африканских джунглей слышны за два квартала. Возможно, он надеется, что кто-то кинет ему сотню баксов, только что бы он час не стучал по своим "барабанам"

Royalton Hotel Location 44 West 44th Street, Number of rooms 90 apartments in 1898, 168 rooms in 1988 The building was built in 1898 as the exclusive residential Hotel Royalton. Rossiter & Wright was the architecture firm commissioned, and the contractor was E. F. Dodson & Company. Its design was unusual because it was one of the first buildings to enable street-level passage from one block to the next. As originally designed, tenants had apartments overlooking 43rd or 44th Street, while servants lived in rooms overlooking the airshafts along the sides of the building. Royalton was designed to mirror the 1920s concept of a hotel lobby. It was reopened as the Royalton Hotel on October 10, 1988. It was the first hotel designed by Philippe Starck. Royalton is now part of the Morgans Hotel Group collection of hotels. During the summer of 2007, the Morgans Hotel Group decided to renovate the hotel to update the interior. The hotel reopened on October 1, 2007. The hotel is mentioned in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalton_Hotel
