Midtown on 42nd Street at Lexington Avenue. Grand Central Terminal is right next door, with a special entrance from the concourse into the lower lobby. Pennsylvania Station is only a few minutes away. Airlines terminals (both East Side and West Side) are within prompt and easy reach. Airlines Annex, handling ticket sales and information, is diagonally opposite the Commodore. Just a step from all midtown centers.
More information, via Wikipedia:
The Commodore Hotel of New York located on 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue adjacent to Grand Central Terminal was one of the major structures in the Grand Central City complex. The Commodore was named after the founder of The New York Central Railroad System Corneliu Commodore Vanderbilt whose Statue adornes The Grand Central Driveway next door to the hotel even to this day.The Commodore was designed by Warren & Wetmore and leased by The New York State Realty and Terminal Company to The Bowman-Biltmore Hotels Corporation of which John McEntee Bowman was President. The Commodore opened its doors on January 28, 1919 and Bowman-Biltmores own Herbert R. Stone oversaw the decor of its 1800 rooms. The "Most Beauitful Lobby in The World" as it was known was also the singel largest room of the day with modern low ceilings and a waterfall designed by John B. Smeraldi.The Commodore also had the largest grand ballroom and was located off the mezzanine unusual for that era. A group of conventioners once told President Bowman that "New York City was like a circus" , so the next day the showman Mr. Bowman was arranged to place a circus complete with elephants in the grandball room . Another popular spot was the Century Room which boosted its own orchestra. The Commodore shared Grand Central Terminal and a parking garage with its sister hotel The Biltmore which was Bowman-Biltmore Hotel Corporations first hotel investment.Another property one block from both Biltmore and Commodore was The Roosevelt a United Hotel asset which merged with Bowman-Biltmore Corporation on March 4, 1929 which gave them access to all railroad passenger traffic in and out of New York City. The Commodore held its own and in June 1967 The New York Central Railroad which was running the hotel though a division called Realty Hotels upgraded The Commodore with a $3.4 million dollar refurbishment.On May 10, 1972 while John R. Garside was the hotels General Manager the Commodore became the first hotel in New York City to show in room movies though Player Cinema Systems . By the late 1970s the railroad now called The Penn Central Transportation Company and the hotel business began to wane.To no ones surprise on May 11, 1977 the bankrupt railroads asset manager Victor Palmieri told the city the Commodore lost $1.5 million in 1976 and may have to be shuttered. At this point the Trump Organization bought The Commodore and gutted the first few floors down to her steel frame and transformed it into what today is The Grand Hyatt featuring The Commodore Grill.

(Image via: NYCDreamin Archives)
Aquarium and Battery Park, New York City. The Aquarium, formerly known as Castle Garden Fort, is located at the foot of Battery Park, and is open to the public daily from 9:00am to 5:0pm. Here can be seen in large glass tanks the most valuable and complete collection of fish, seals, turtles and other deep sea inhabitants in existence. At the enttrance of the harbor is the Statue of Liberty and a little further up is Ellis Island, through which all imigrants landing in New York City must pass.
More information from Wikipedia:
The New York Aquarium opened on December 10, 1896, at Castle Garden in Battery Park. Its first director was the respected fish expert, Dr. Tarleton Hoffman Bean (1895–1898). On October 31, 1902, the Aquarium was adopted into the care of what was then the New York Zoological Society. At the time, the Aquarium housed only 150 specimens of wildlife. Over time, its most famous director, the distinguished zoologist Charles Haskins Townsend, enlarged the collections considerably, and the Aquarium attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
Early in October 1941, the Aquarium at Battery Park was controversially closed based on claims of NYC Parks Commissioner Robert Moses that the proposed construction of a tunnel from Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn might undermine Castle Clinton's foundation. Many of the Aquarium’s sea creatures were temporarily housed at the Bronx Zoo until the new aquarium was built after World War II. On June 6, 1957, the Aquarium opened its doors at its new location in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

The Conservatory, Central Park, New York City. The Conservatory is located at Fifth Avenue east, from 102nd to 105th Streets. Here are exhibited rare plants brought to this country from all parts of the world. The Conservatory is open daily to all visitors.
A bit more info from TripCart.com:
The six-acre Conservatory Garden is Central Park's only formal garden. It takes its name from the huge glass conservatory that once stood on this same spot, built in 1898. In 1934, when maintenance of the facility had become too costly, the conservatory was demolished and replaced with the present Garden, which opened to the public in 1937. The Conservatory Garden is in fact three gardens representing different landscape styles: Italian, French, and English.
And still more information about the gardens in Central Park can be found at the official Central Park Blog.

More Postcards From New York City #69 - South Street Sea Port & Fulton Fish Market
Quote from:
"Our New York"
by Alfred Kazin & David Finn
1989 [p. 19]
The face of New York may well be the most photographed site in the world. Almost a century ago, when picture postcards first came into view, the then largely New York-based printing industry (long departed from New York) "poured forth a torrent of postcards," says the historian of New York photography Benjamin Blom, "depicting New York as home of the nation's (and the world's) tallest buildings..." These postcards fostered the enduring legend of New York as the last word in the long history of metropolis, the megacity, the awesome, the ever "unbelievable."
No skyscrapers today, but it is a shot that will transport you back to another time, a time when the South Street Sea Port was a bustling hive of daily activity...
South Street Sea Port restoration with the Fulton Market.
From Wikipedia:
During much of its 183-year tenure at the original site, the Fulton Fish Market was the most important wholesale East Coast fish market in the United States of America. Opening in 1822, it was the destination of fishing boats from across the Atlantic Ocean. By the 1950s, most of the Market's fish were trucked in rather than offloaded from the docks.
What's there now? Not much, it's pretty quiet at the old Fulton Fish Market now, since they moved to a new location in the Bronx in 2005.

I've received a few cool comments about this postcard over at the NYCDreamin Archives...
"OMG! I remember this place. I was taken here for my 14th birthday and felt sooo grown up! On the top photo you can see the little bridge you walked over when entering. I felt like a fairy princess going into her castle. Too bad they don't create places like this anymore."(Molly806)
"My dad worked here as a waiter/bartender in the 60s through the 70s. It was my first impression of the Big City (being a kid from the Bronx). He still tells outrageous stories of the goings-on, including those of the celebrities of the day who stayed in the hotel Alrae upstairs. He once brought room service up to Mia Farrows. He was so nervous (she was at the height of her fame then, late 1960s) the entire roast duck slipped off his serving platter onto the bare tablecloth. Don't know if she tipped." (m_acev)

More Postcards from NYC #59 - Washington Square Park - & "Journey to New York" by Ed Siejka
(Image via: NYCDreamin Archives)Washington Square Park
At the foot of Fifth Avenue sits Washington Square Park, long known as a magnet for young artists, singers, guitarists and others wishing to relax and forget their cares. New York University's downtown campus is located just to the east of the park.
Recently, I received a new written piece by poet Ed Siejka. I felt that Ed's explanation of his inspiration for his new piece fit this postcard well and so I am presenting his piece along with the above photo, which to me appears to be from the mid-late 1960's.
"The inspiration or idea (for "Journey to New York") came from two sources...the artists, writers and musicians I knew from the 70's...many tried and many just didn't make it in New York. One young writer fresh from the Midwest asked me where Washington Square Park was. I told him, "This is it...you're looking right at it." He just seemed totally devastated. His imagination had built up the park to be a place of inspiration for all artists and the reality of looking at a seedy and run-down park (and somewhat dangerous place) just overwhelmed him. It was in essence Dreams -vs- Reality." - Ed Siejka
Journey to New York - by Ed Siejka
Standing in front
Of the place
He felt
A faint breeze
Skimming
The streets
Ankle high
Swirling dust
Reaching up
Stinging his face
Reminding him
This was not
Wind blown sand from
The ocean.
He came from a
Place like that
"...seashells by the seashore..."
Tired
He packed up
Headed out
Straight down the highway
Took the high span view
Over the George Washington Bridge
And saw the misty outline
Of Manhattan's
Gray turrets
Piercing the clouds
Brightly colored banners
Everywhere
And soldiers in armor
Beckoning
Him
To come with
His dreams.
Stepping back
He looked
Up and down
The streets
Nothing moving
Nothing to see
The dream
Within
Still
Burned
White
Self taught
He spent
Long nights
Searching
For the right words
And solitary days
Practicing
Until his fingers cramped
And bled.
At the clubs
He met some ladies
Had some fans
When agents stopped
Calling
He stayed
When the others
Slipped away
Leaving behind
Empty backpacks
And borrowed shoes.
The place fills up
Lights dim
A stray cough
Punctuates the silence
Alone on stage
He eases into th mike
His voice carries the song
The audience leans
To hear
Words meant only for them
He connects
With them
And they with him
The Devil is in the room
The club is transformed
After all those years
His chance is now.
-end

Embers in New York...one thing you MUST DO is visit the famous Embers to enjoy the MOST EXCITING food and MUSIC in our town...famous for ROAST BEEF, STEAKS, BARBEQUED RIBS. No 20% tax ever. Dinner from 5:30pm. Open to 4:00am.
161 E. 54th Street, NYC. Plaza 9-3228
From Old And Sold.com...
"New York City Jazz Joints and Restaurants with Jazz"
(Originally published (publication not cited) 1n 1959)
The Embers, at 161 E. 54th St., is the 16th restaurant to open on what had become known as a "jinx spot." That was seven years ago and THE EMBERS is still thriving. Ralph Watkins, owner and creator of THE EMBERS, attributes its success to the fact that he pays as much attention to the kitchen as he does to the entertainment, and still personally supervises both operations. Piano trios and quartets playing "subtle jazz" is the specialty in the front of the house; roast beef, barbecued ribs, steaks, etc., are what come out of the kitchen. Joe Howard is the front man, keeping an ear tuned to comments by customers.
Watkins' reputation as a jazz entrepreneur started at a room on 52nd St. called Kelly's Stable. Preceding that was the original Onyx Club, Royal Roost, Bop City, Basin Street and Lower Basin Street, all now defunct. Ralph started his professional life as a saxophone player in the old Ben Bernie and Abe Lyman orchestras and once led his own dance band at Ben Marden's Riviera, on the New Jersey end of George Washington Bridge (wiped out by the Interstate Palisades Parkway).
THE EMBERS' bartender, Jack Spencer, frequently worked as President Roosevelt's bartender at private Hyde Park parties, and more recently mixed drinks for the Eisenhower-McMillan Bermuda conference.
In its seven years' history, THE EMBERS has presented such eminent piano virtuosos as George Shearing, Dorothy Donegan, Don Shirley, Carmen Cavallero, Teddy Wilson, Eddie Heywood, Joey Bushkin, Erroll Garner and Barbara Carroll.
You can see more Broadway celebrities at THE EMBERS than at many more widely publicized spots. Watkins eschews bulb-popping photographers, which he feels interfere with the entertainment. The building occupied by THE EMBERS, incidentally, is owned by John Perona, whose EL MOROCCO is located directly across the street. In turn, the building housing EL MOROCCO is owned by Daniel Lavezzo who is also proprietor of the premises housing a different type of operation, P. J. CLARKE'S, which is just around the corner.
