A Guide to New York (For Out of Town Visitors) New York’s two most impor- tant thoroughfares are Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Broadway is the longest street in the world—if you measure by a taxi-meter. It is ‘also the widest— when you attempt to cross it on Ayenue is the richest So many wealthy women walk there, that one is not to be blamed ior thinking many of them shop girls Most of them are. Thousands of taxis are to be seen there daily. These can be dis- tinguished by their color, yellow. For one wishing to obtain a good tour of New York, these taxis will be found extremely useful. All one has to do is to hail a driver, name a destination a few blocks due north or south, and leave the rest to him. When you are eventu- ally deposited in some strange and unknown place you will have seen both sides of the city. Having then spent all you can afford on this form of travel, you may walk to wherever you wish to go and obtain additional glimpses. New York's cross-town streets were planned (1) for Mayor Hy- lan's Committee on Playgrounds, and (2) for the purpose of accom- modating Mayor Hylan’s buses. This is but one of many indi tions of how far into the future cur Knickerbocker fathers looked. The cross-town buses were intro- duced to carry out the Mayor’s grim determination to give New Yorkers a five-cent fare. One pays anickel to the bus driver and rides until the desired avenue is reached. Here the yisitor disembarks and takes a street car, giving up an- other nickel for the privilege. Thus an enjoyable and varied five-cent tide is obtained to any given point for ten cents. Visitors to New York should not fail to see the Aquarium, where the city’s floating population is kept. All the poor fishes are not confined in this one place alone. however. Others are to be found at the City Hall. The Statue of Liberty should be noticed while in this section. It can be seen from the water-front a quaint and amusing re- of the old days. To give one’s fellow townsmen a clue to one’s originality, one should state in an interview after return- ing from New York that it is the “greatest hick-town in the world.” : T. H.
