Even better than C for the Cloisters, how about U for the Unicorn
Tapestries, which live there? Then C can be Coney, or the Park.

Another favorite road of mine: Riverside Drive. Played in that park many
a time.

O for off-Broadway theaters
or
O for the Opera houses, Metropolitan and New York City

G for the Guggenheim

or a great big M for Museums - the Met, MOMA, Nat. History, Guggie,
where else have I spent some of my NYC hours...

J for Julliard?

And let's not forget Greenwich Village!

It doesn't have to be just places - it can be well known people who have a
strong connection with New York. Historical figures or people in the
entertainment industry. Any ideas on this?

What about the rest of the state? You are focusing on just the city -
which
is fine if that's your goal, but there are other parts of the state too!
Niagra Falls, Catskill Mountains, tons of mansions and history that can be
called upon for your needs!

Thanks for liking some of my idea. The Verazzano Narrows Bridge was,
when
it opened in 1964, the longest suspension bridge in the world. I think
there's one now in England that's a little longer. The bridge goes from
Brooklyn to Staten Island and you can see the Statue of Liberty when
you're
crossing it. It's stunning to see at night.

Yes, I'm a New Yorker by birth. I live in Florida now but I'll always
be
a
New Yorker at heart.

Lucille,

I particularly like W is for Wallsteet! Haven't heard of Verazzano
Bridge -
is it very famous? I definately have to do L is for statue of
Liberty -
just
hope I can do her justice with my needle & canvas! Are you a New
Yorker?

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of designing an alphabet
needlepoint
wall-hanging but wanted a theme besides the usual A is for
apple....
I
thought about doing an International version with each letter in a
foreign
language before deciding it was way too complicated. Then I
thought
about
doing one based on the United States as seen through a British
perspective.
I've since narrowed it down a bit further and want to concentrate
on
New
York. This is where I need some help - any suggestions? I've
thought
of
some
obvious ones already - B is for Big Apple, Y is for Yellow Cab
etc....
Each
letter will be approx 60 stitches x 60 stitches in size so I can't
be
too
ambitious with the design. I'm also keen to do an A-Z of London
which
incorporates a bit if cockney rhyming slang!

Thanks guys,

This is really helpful - I'm making a list of all the suggestions so I can
go and look up the places I haven't heard of and see if they would make good
designs.

I'm so excited about the A-Z of New York I've decided to do another alphabet
design - this time based on the whole of the United States. Famous
historical figures, cultural icons, food, places, people etc...keep those
suggestions coming!

Sorry Cheryl but I haven't a clue about Pocono. The only Pocono I know is
in Pennsylvania.

If she wants New York State she could use Poughkeepsie, which was the home
of IBM and Vassar College and if she wants the City, she could use p is for
Pelham, that's in the Bronx or Park Avenue, one of the ritziest places in
the U.S..
Lucille





You're right!

Cheryl

M is for Metropolitan Museum,

M for Manhattan for would be much better, imnsho

Well, for "P" I suggest the statue of William Penn on top of City Hall
in Philadelphia...and you can add a big fat soft pretzel in his hand.

Don't forget the mustard.
