ABSTRACT

There are two faces to New York. First of all it is a city of business, a gigantic anthill, throbbing with life… . But it is also a city of memories, a city where one can stroll, because the tourist with perceptive eyes discovers hidden treasures: urbanism, history, migration and so on. It seems that the different races of the world decided to meet here. From the Negro quarter of Harlem to the Ghetto, from the Italian and Polish slums to Chinatown, everything awakens tourism’s curiosity. Each of these peoples’ lives there transplanted but untransformed, carefully preserving the customs of their ancestors.
