Eisenhower broke ground for the Lincoln Center performing arts complex in 1959, the area from Columbus Circle through the neighborhoods called Lincoln Square and San Juan Hill was already something of an arts center.

Description: THIS time of year one of Manhattan's signature pleasures is a stroll up Fifth Avenue from 59th Street on a crisp, clear weekend morning. To your left, the trees of Central Park stubbornly clutch fistfuls of green and yellow leaves. To your right, doormen in long coats and matching caps stamp their feet at the discreet entrances to the city's most exclusive residential buildings. And strung like pearls all up the avenue are fine mansions built by captains of industry and robber barons around the turn of the 20th century. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/14/arts/14expl.html

Description: SINCE 1766 St. Paul's Chapel at Broadway and Vesey Street has been one of the best-known and most revered landmarks in Lower Manhattan, associated with events from George Washington's inauguration in 1789 to the destruction of the World Trade Center just behind it in 2001. For almost a quarter of a century in the 1800s it shared the intersection with another extremely popular, and not altogether welcome, landmark. Opposite the church, in more ways than one, was P. T. Barnum's American Museum. Today New Yorkers may think of Phineas Taylor Barnum only when the circus comes to town. But for almost 60 years he was one of the most celebrated figures in the city. He entertained and amused tens of millions here. When he died in 1891, The Washington Post called him "the most widely known American that ever lived." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/09/arts/09expl.html

The upper half of the Lower East Side, stretching from Houston Street north to 14th Street, and from Third Avenue and the Bowery to the East River, it was a toehold in America for generations of new immigrants — Irish, German, Jewish, Ukrainian, Puerto Rican and others — and a magnet for artists, bohemians, radicals and reformers. It has often been ravaged by grueling poverty and neglect. But it was also an area of intense cultural activity that changed the world." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/14/arts/14expl.html

Description: Praguers were ahead of their time in embracing Mozart, the man who would soon become one of the world's most important and revered composers.. While they were busy giving him raucous applause, the rest of the world, including residents of his native Salzberg, were denigrating, or worse, simply ignoring, him. The funeral mass held for him in Prague had 400 times the number of attendees than his funeral in Vienna. And today no one can find his body, as he was buried in an unmarked grave in Austria. Enough said. Join us for the Rough Guides iToors Podcast of Prague as we walk in Mozart's shoes. Highlights include: * Sites connected to the family that helped seal the bond between the Mozart and the Golden City. * Conjuring the ghosts of two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century as you visit the site where "Albert Einstein played violin here while hanging out with Franz Kafka"—as the plaque boasts. * The theater where Don Giovanni was premiered and the legend of this famous opera's overture. * The clock that keeps the town from disaster. And of course, drinking lots of Pilsner…

Description: In comparison to today's outrageous art world, where shock value generates the most hype, the famed French Impressionists like Manet, Monet, and Degas may seem like stodgy old traditionalists. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Drawing from bestselling author, Ross King's new book 'The Judgment of Paris,' this iToor gives you a window into 19th century Paris art, when painting ordinary life, setting up easels in the outdoors and using broad brushstrokes were considered radical acts. Ross King sets the context for this art world revolution as you walk the bridges where Renoir painted, follow in the footsteps of Degas and discover how Manet's work caused the future of art to shift from tradition to rebellion. Highlights include: * Discovering how Impressionism earned its name * Visiting the Musee D'Orsay and & viewing the birthplaces of the paintings housed there * Finding out why Renoir was always looking over his shoulder
