On Friday, April 24th and Saturday, April 25th Earth Day New York will once again transform five city blocks in the heart of Manhattan into a festival of music, environmental education, and fun.
In celebration of Earth Day, Grand Central Station stages a week long Giant Earth Images exhibition and a two day Earth Fair.
Earth Fair consists of numerous activities and lectures dedicated to protecting the environment and preserving the Earth's natural resources, including recycling workshops, composting demos, live music, dance and more.
Earth Day, for those who aren't up on their PC anniversaries, is a celebration of the modern environmental movement, which began back in April 1970 when millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for the right to a healthier environment.
The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency.
The New Yankee Stadium

The Bronx
In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say! Interactive Bronx map
