Die German-American Steuben Parade ist ein traditionsreicher Umzug, der jedes Jahr am dritten Samstag im September auf der Fifth Avenue in New York City stattfindet. Die Parade ist eines der größten Ereignisse im deutsch-amerikanischen Festkalender. Sie wurde 1957 von deutschstämmigen Amerikanern gegründet. Diese wollten die Traditionen ihrer Heimat aufrechterhalten.Die Deutschamerikaner sind bis heute die größte Einwanderergruppe in den USA. Etwa 15 Prozent aller US-Amerikaner sind deutscher Herkunft oder Abstammung. Allein in New York City leben etwa 500.000 Deutschstämmige. 2013 wurde die Parade von mehreren tausend Menschen besucht.GeschichteDie erste Steubenparade wurde 1957 in der Nachbarschaft Ridgewood im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens abgehalten. Dort lebten damals die meisten Deutschamerikaner der Stadt. Da sich über die Jahre immer mehr Teilnehmer anmeldeten, wurde die Parade auf die Fifth Avenue in Manhattan verlegt, wo sie heute von der 64. aufwärts zur 86. Straße zieht. Die 86. Straße ist für die Deutschamerikaner wiederum von besonderer Bedeutung. Hier, in der Nachbarschaft Yorkville, war bis in die 1970er das deutschamerikanische Zentrum New Yorks. Die 86. Straße selbst trug den inoffiziellen Beinamen „Sauerkraut Boulevard“ und beherbergte deutsche Restaurants, Vereinshäuser, Bäckereien und Metzgereien.Von Steuben und die ParadeDie Gründer einigten sich darauf, die Parade nach Freiherr Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben zu benennen, einem hochdekorierten preußischen Offizier, der in seiner zweiten Karriere als US-amerikanischer General die Kontinentalarmee erneuerte und zum Helden des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges unter dem Oberbefehl George Washingtons wurde. Steuben war ein sehr aktiver Freimaurer, er wurde um 1778 in die Trinity Lodge Nr. 12 in New York aufgenommen.

The 1251 Avenue of the Americas, formerly known as the Exxon Building, is a skyscraper on Sixth Avenue (also known as Avenue of the Americas) in Manhattan, between 49th and 50th Streets. It is owned by Mitsui Fudosan.ContextThe building was part of the later Rockefeller Center expansion (1960s - 1970s) dubbed the "XYZ Buildings". Their plans were first drawn in 1963 by the Rockefeller family's architect, Wallace Harrison, of the architectural firm Harrison and Abramovitz. Their letters correspond to their height. 1251 is the "X" Building as it is the tallest at 750 ft (229 m) and 54 stories, but was the second one completed (1971). The "Y" is the 1221 Avenue of the Americas, which was the first completed (1969) and is the second in height (674 ft and 51 stories). The "Z" Building, the shortest and the youngest, is the 1211 Avenue of the Americas with 45 stories (592 ft). 1251 is the second-tallest building in the whole of Rockefeller Center, after the Comcast Building.Despite being one of the 100 tallest buildings in the United States, 1251 Avenue of the Americas is almost impossible to see from more than just a few blocks away as it is flanked on all sides by buildings over 500 feet tall. The result is that even though 1251 Avenue of the Americas is approximately as tall as the tallest buildings in cities such as Boston or Minneapolis, it has almost no presence on the New York City skyline.

Shakespeare in the Park is a theatrical program that stages productions of Shakespearean plays at an open theater in New York City's Central Park. The theater and the productions are managed by the Public Theater and tickets are distributed free of charge on the day of the performance. Originally branded as the New York Shakespeare Festival under the direction of Joseph Papp, the institution was renamed in 2002 as part of a larger reorganization by the Public Theater.HistoryThe festival was originally conceived by director-producer Joseph Papp in 1954. Papp began with a series of Shakespeare workshops, then moved on to free productions on the Lower East Side. Eventually, the plays moved to a lawn in front of Turtle Pond in Central Park. In 1959, parks commissioner Robert Moses demanded that Papp and his company charge a fee for the performances to cover the cost of "grass erosion." A court battle ensued. Papp continued to fight Moses, winning his enduring respect and the quote "well, let's build the bastard a theater." Following this, Moses requested funds from the city for the construction of an amphitheater in the park. In 1961, the Delacorte Theater was built. The first performance held in the theater in 1962 was Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, starring George C. Scott and James Earl Jones.

Its mission was to give the public "a more lively and sincere appreciation of the magnitude of the universe... and for the wonderful things which are daily occurring in the universe." Joseph M. Chamberlain, hired as an assistant curator in 1952, became Chairman of the Planetarium in 1956. In 1960, a Zeiss Mark IV projector was installed, followed by a Zeiss Mark VI projector and new seats in 1993.
