 | | It was not until the voyage of Henry Hudson, an Englishman who worked for the Dutch East India Company, that the area was mapped. |
 | | He discovered Manhattan on September 11, 1609, and continued up the river that bears his name, the Hudson River, until he arrived at the site where New York State's capital city, Albany, now stands. |
 | | Many of the city's ethnic enclaves, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Brighton Beach are major shopping destinations for first and second generation Americans up and down the East Coast. |
