The U.S. Embassy Regional Security Officer, native newyorker, Gordon Goetz guided a very interesting virtual tour to New York from the time of its European discovery in 1524 by Giovanni da Verrazzano to current times.
Mr. Goetz’s colorful presentation, energized with the great personal attachment of the speaker, deeply impressed all the participants. Attendees learned that the city consists of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Using a power point slides presentation Gordon illustrated entertaining portrait of the New York architecture, streets, museums, sports, cuisine, New York dialect, etc.
A live question and answer session followed the lecture. Over 15 participants from local universities asked a wide range of questions and gained knowledge about the City that Never Sleeps.
