Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Sakura Matsuri, Cherry Blossom Festival in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City, USA
A weekend celebrating traditional and contemporary Japanese culture!

Taiko Drumming • Cosplay Fashion Show • Tea Ceremonies • J-Pop • Samurai Sword Fighting • Manga • Vintage Kimonos • Ikebana Flower Arranging • BBG Parasol Society and More!
The Garden has more than 200 cherry trees of forty-two Asian species and cultivated varieties, making it one of the foremost cherry-viewing sites outside Japan. The first cherries were planted at the garden after World War I, a gift from the Japanese government. Each spring at BBG, when the trees are in bloom, a month-long cherry blossom viewing festival called Hanami is held at the Cherry Esplanade, culminating in a weekend celebration called Sakura Matsuri. The Esplanade features two rows of cherry trees with trails and sitting areas on the side. Visitors may also sit on the field of grass between the rows of cherry trees. Cherry trees are found on the Cherry Esplanade and Cherry Walk, in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, and in many other locations in the Garden. Depending on weather conditions, the Asian flowering cherries bloom from late March or early April to mid-May. The many different species bloom at slightly different times, and the sequence is tracked online at Cherry Watch, on the BBG website.

BROOKLYN New York City Best Tour 2019 Landmarks Drone Video
Brooklyn is home to more than 2.5 million residents, making it America’s most densely-populated county (Kings County). If it alone were a city, it would be the third largest in the US, behind LA And Chicago. It is also the country’s most diverse county by race, ethnicity and religion, which may explain its city motto ‘unity makes strength’.
Numerous Native American peoples have roots in this northeastern land; but no historical record allows us to definitely state a claim. The Dutch first settled here in 1645 and they continued to expand after the Anglo-Dutch war of 1664 ended with the English claiming the colonies as their own.
In Brooklyn, the first and largest battle of the American Revolutionary War was fought on August 27, 1776. In the Battle of Brooklyn, George Washington led the Continental Army across modern day Green-Wood Cemetery and Prospect Park. A tactical withdrawal was made through Brooklyn Heights, ceding the city to the English.
Today, Brooklyn is home to some of the most iconic sites in the United States. In this video, you see: the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park, the Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Barclays Center, and Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Coney Island is another incredible place in Brooklyn. To see an awesome video of that world-famous location, click here:

Brooklyn - City Video Guide
Just south of Manhattan, on Long Island, Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's five boroughs.
Brooklyn Heights is one of the richer neighborhoods in the borough, characterized by brownstone buildings and a thriving shopping district. The centerpiece of Brooklyn Heights is Brooklyn Bridge Park. This has spectacular views of downtown New York City.
At almost 1830 meters long, Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in New York City. It spans the East River, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, and is crossed by some 4000 pedestrians every day.
Popular pastimes in Brooklyn's Prospect Park include relaxing on the green expanses of Long Meadow, cycling, jogging, and spotting wildlife on Prospect Lake.
Coney Island was once the largest amusement area in the United States. Many vintage attractions remain today, including Nathan's Famous hot dogs and the Cyclone roller coaster.

The Man Behind New York's Central Park and Prospect Park, Stanford University Campus (1999)
Frederick Law Olmsted (April 26, 1822 – August 28, 1903) was an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. He is popularly considered to be the father of American landscape architecture. Olmsted was famous for co-designing many well-known urban parks with his senior partner Calvert Vaux, including Prospect Park and Central Park in New York City,[2] as well as Elm Park (Worcester, Massachusetts), considered by many to be the first municipal park in America.
Other projects that Olmsted was involved in include the country's first and oldest coordinated system of public parks and parkways in Buffalo, New York; the country's oldest state park, the Niagara Reservation in Niagara Falls, New York; one of the first planned communities in the United States, Riverside, Illinois; Mount Royal Park in Montreal, Quebec; the Emerald Necklace in Boston, Massachusetts; Highland Park in Rochester, New York; Belle Isle Park, in the Detroit River for Detroit, Michigan; the Grand Necklace of Parks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cherokee Park and entire parks and parkway system in Louisville, Kentucky; the 735-acre (297 ha) Forest Park in Springfield, Massachusetts, featuring America's first public wading pool;[3] the George Washington Vanderbilt II Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; the master plans for the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Maine, and Stanford University near Palo Alto, California as well as for The Lawrenceville School; and Montebello Park in St. Catharines, Ontario. In Chicago his projects include: Jackson Park; Washington Park; the Midway Plaisance for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition; the south portion of Chicago's emerald necklace boulevard ring; Anderson Park in Upper Montclair, New Jersey; Cadwalader Park in Trenton, New Jersey; and the University of Chicago campus. In Washington, D.C., he worked on the landscape surrounding the United States Capitol building.
The quality of Olmsted's landscape architecture was recognized by his contemporaries, who showered him with prestigious commissions. His work, especially in Central Park in New York City, set a standard of excellence that continues to influence landscape architecture in the United States. His second line of achievement involves his activism in conservation, including work at Niagara Falls, the Adirondack region of upstate New York, and the National Park system. Thirdly, he played a major role in organizing and providing medical services to the Union Army in the Civil War.
In Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, Olmsted is featured as one of the most important figures participating in the design of the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. In the book, his personality and actions are given significant coverage. In addition, his importance in designing the fair is highlighted (e.g., his part in picking the geographic site and his bureaucratic involvement in planning the fair).
New YORK (نيويورك)
Tourism in New York City serves over 56 million foreign and American tourists each year including day-trippers. Major destinations include the Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Broadway theatre productions, museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other tourist attractions including Central Park, Washington Square Park, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, the Bronx Zoo, Barclays Center, Coney Island, South Street Seaport, New York Botanical Garden, luxury shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenues, and events such as the Tribeca Film Festival, and free performances in Central Park at Summerstage and Delacorte Theater. The Statue of Liberty is a major tourist attraction and one of the most recognizable icons of the United States. Many New York City ethnic enclaves, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Brighton Beach are major shopping destinations for first and second generation Americans up and down the East Coast.
New York City has over 28,000 acres (110 km2) of parkland and 14 linear miles (22 km) of public beaches. Manhattan's Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, is the most visited city park in the United States. Prospect Park in Brooklyn, also designed by Olmsted and Vaux, has a 90 acres (36 ha) meadow. Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, the city's third largest, was the setting for the 1939 World's Fair and 1964 World's Fair.

New York - Brooklyn (Part.1)
Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's five boroughs, with approximately 2.5 million residents, and the second-largest in area. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan). It is also the westernmost county on Long Island.
Brooklyn was an independent city until it was annexed by New York City in 1898. It continues to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate. Brooklyn's official motto is Eendraght Maeckt Maght. Written in the (early modern spelling of the) Dutch language, it is inspired by the motto of the United Dutch Provinces and translated Unity makes strength. The motto is displayed on the borough seal and flag, which also feature a young robed woman bearing fasces, a traditional emblem of republicanism. Brooklyn's official colors are blue and gold.
---------------------------------------------------------
Brooklyn est l'un des cinq arrondissements (en anglais borough) de la ville de New York aux États-Unis (avec Manhattan, Queens, le Bronx et Staten Island). Il coïncide avec le comté de Kings (Kings County), découpage administratif de l'État de New York, mais comme les quatre autres comtés de la ville, il ne fonctionne pas comme les autres comtés de l'État. Avec une population de plus de 2 508 820 habitants en 20061, c'est celui qui est le plus peuplé ; il constituerait à lui seul la quatrième ville des États-Unis.
L'arrondissement de Brooklyn occupe l'extrémité ouest de Long Island et est voisin du district du Queens. Sa côte nord est le pont de Williamsburg et le pont de Manhattan. La côte médiane du borough touche la Upper New York Bay. Le Buttermilk Channel sépare le borough de Governors Island. Au sud-ouest se trouvent la Gowanus Bay et le Gowanus Canal. À son extrémité ouest, Brooklyn est séparée de Staten Island par the Narrows, où se rejoignent Upper et Lower New York Bay. Le pont Verrazano-Narrows, inauguré en 1964, permet de lier les deux boroughs. Il a été de 1964 à 1981 le plus long pont suspendu du monde. Au sud-est se trouvent Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach et la Jamaica Bay.
La superficie de Brooklyn est de 251 km2, dont 183 km2 de terres émergées. Son point le plus élevé se situe aux alentours de Prospect Park et de Green-Wood Cemetery, à environ 61 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Le quartier de Brooklyn Heights, dans le centre-ville, est construit sur une hauteur.

AMAZING Bernie Sanders Massive Rally Prospect Park Brooklyn NY Danny Devito ENDORSES 4/17/16
AMAZING Bernie Sanders Massive Rally Prospect Park Brooklyn NY Danny Devito ENDORSES 4/17/16 Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Danny DeVito, Justin Long, Grizzly Bear and many others showed up in HUGE numbers at Prospect Park. Bernie Sanders drew a record crowd of 28,300 to Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY, who heard the Democratic presidential candidate pull no punches in a massive effort to get his supporters ready to vote in Tuesday’s New York Democratic primary.
Video:
Sanders called his campaign a movement of people who are prepared to think big, not small, and continued, “People who not just want to elect a new president, but to transform America.” The Democratic candidate described his campaign as being fueled by those who are rejecting establishment politics, “This is a campaign that is bringing millions of people into the political process. Working people and young people who are sick and tired of establishment politics and establishment economics. We want a government which represents all of us, not just the 1 percent.”
Sen. Sanders criticized Hillary Clinton for her speeches to Wall Street, “Now, if you give a speech for $225,000, it must be a pretty damn good speech; must be a brilliant and insightful speech analyzing all of the world’s problems; must be a speech written in Shakespearean prose. And that is why I believe Secretary Clinton should share that speech with all of us.”
He also criticized Clinton on fracking, the minimum wage, trade agreements, and Social Security.
Sanders also had some words for Donald Trump, “Donald Trump will not be elected president of the United States because the American people will not support a candidate who insults Mexicans and Latinos, who insults Muslims, who insults women, who insults veterans who insults the African-American community.”
The speech in Prospect Park was Bernie Sanders version of a get out the vote rally. Sen. Sanders is trailing former Sec. of State Clinton by double-digits according to every poll, but if Sanders is going to lose, he is going to down with swinging.
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Danny DeVito, Justin Long, and Grizzly Bear
The speech in Brooklyn was amazing because it may be remembered as a true turning point. If Sen. Sanders were to pull an upset in New York and go on to win the nomination, historians would look at the speech as the first visible spark of an upset. If Sanders loses New York and does poorly in Pennsylvania, the Brooklyn speech may go down in history as the last roar of a dying campaign.
What the voters decide on Tuesday will go a long way in determining the course of 2016 presidential campaign history. Bernie Sanders is still kicking, and the Senator from Vermont is going to keep fighting until the last Democratic delegate has been allocated.

From Wikipedia:
Grand Street and Grand Avenue are the respective names of a street which runs through the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, New York City, United States. Originating in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Grand Street runs roughly northeast until crossing Newtown Creek into Queens, whereupon Grand Street becomes Grand Avenue, continuing through Maspeth where it is a main shopping street, until reaching its northern end at Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst.
The thoroughfare continues north and west beyond Queens Boulevard as Broadway until terminating on the bank of the East River in western Queens (in Astoria/Long Island City).
When Williamsburg was an independent town (and, later, city), Grand Street was its first main east-west commercial street which acted as a dividing line between the Northside of town and the Southside of town. Street numbering originated here with North 1st Street, North 2nd Street (now Metropolitan Avenue) and so on running parallel to Grand to the north and South 1st Street, South 2nd Street and so on progressing to the south. Its initial segments from the East River were first named Washington Street and then Dunham Street. It was extended to the southeast to Roebling Street in 1812 and to the then village line between Rodney and Keap Streets in 1830. Soon after, the street was extended to Union Avenue in the new third ward of Williamsburg and bent on an angle to the east in order to pass through the property of several prominent land owners. Grand Street was opened from Bushwick Avenue to Metropolitan Avenue in 1858.
In the 19th century, before the construction of the Williamsburg Bridge, the Grand Street Ferry connected Grand Street, Brooklyn to Grand Street, Manhattan. The Grand Street Line was a streetcar line along the road. Two Long Island Rail Road stations existed along the street in both boroughs. Grand Street (LIRR Evergreen station) along the Evergreen Branch near Willamsburg from 1868 to 1885, and Grand Street (LIRR Main Line station), a station in Elmhurst along Main Line that also served the Rockaway Beach Branch from 1913 to 1925.
At some point between the construction of the Williamsburg Bridge and 1913 (it appears on a 1913 map of Brooklyn), Grand Street was connected to the bridge plaza from the elbow bend near Union Avenue by the Grand Street Extension (now named Borinquen Place) and this became the main flow for car traffic. In 1950, Grand Street was severed by the BQE between Marcy Avenue and Rodney Street.
