VJ Day - Crowd celebrates in Times Square, NYC
TIMES SQUARE CELEBRATES
It 's not a square at all. Just a ten-block bowtie where an old Indian trail – Broadway – meets Seventh Avenue. Long Acre Square, as it was known in the 1800s was a busy commercial center, a fancy neighborhood, a secretive address for brothels and the home of horse stables. The New York Times built its headquarters there and convinced the city to change the area's name to Times Square on April 8, 1904. That October, the Times Square subway station opened, and then on December 31, 1904, the official opening of the Times Building was accompanied by a New Year's Eve celebration.
Carnegie Deli Opens on Seventh Avenue in New York City on March 11, 1937
The Orgel family has just opened their deli for the neighborhood. The Pastrami and Corned Beef sandwiches are larger than any deli I have ever been to in the city. The sandwich prices are fair; 50 cents. The pickles are crisp and sour, the coleslaw is fresh, and the chopped liver is delicious. Carnegie Deli is featuring recipes from Eastern Europe. There are 40 seats and a small counter.
