Hi New York City (NYC) and NYCupAndDown.com are getting ready for another season of tours here in the Big Apple. We are excited as we get close to April and the 100th aniversery of the RMS Titanic and the impact it had on New York City. A century has sailed by since the luxury steamship RMS Titanic met its end in the North Atlantic, after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage. The deep sea grave became the final resting place of the Titanic in the early hours of April 15, 1912. The lives of the 705 survivors and those that perished had a profound impact on the City of New York that was waiting to welcome her.
We are also looking forward to the Great Fire of 1835 and it's impact on business here in NYC. On the night of December 16, 1835 a fire broke out in the general store of Comstock and Adams. This fire destroyed 600 buildings and over 50 acres of the Financial District including the Merchant's Exchange (the first stock market in New York City).
This blog is about New York City (NYC) tourism and history.
