S3E1 - Flatbush Avenue
Take a tour down the heart of Brooklyn on Flatbush Avenue. Visit the Williamsburg Savings Bank tower, with its breathtaking views and exceptionally ornate banking hall. Get an up-close look at the art and architecture of Grand Army Plaza, including the Soldier's & Sailor's Memorial Arch and the Brooklyn Public Library. Look into Brooklyn's agricultural past at the 18th century Lefferts Historic House and visit Floyd Bennett Field, where Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes made aviation history.
S3E2 - Central Park
Few would disagree that Central Park is the most visionary piece of urban planning this world has seen; and with millions of visitors each year, fewer still can imagine New York City without it. In this episode of 'Blueprint NYC' we trace the history of Manhattan's green oasis: from the inception of its uniquely American design, to its decline and rebirth.
S3E3 - Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights became New York City's first neighborhood to be designated as an historic district, and for good reason - it was the heart of the abolitionist movement and the homes and churches that adorn its streets, are some of the finest examples of American architecture. With the help of the Brooklyn Historical Society, 'Blueprint NYC' tells the story of this remarkable neighborhood: from Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Church to the construction of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
