In the photo below, you'll see a building known as The Flatiron Building. It was built in 1902 and was one of the first buildings to use this type of construction material. Name the material used to build the skeleton of this landmark building.

Leanna is correct the answer is 1933 but, if it makes you feel any better, Radio City itself opened in 1932 so when I said you were close, I meant really close!

Ok Leanna, your turn, please post a question.

The New York Public Library only serves three of the five boroughs. As a reminder the five boroughs are: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx.

Name all three boroughs that are served by The New York Public Library.

Subject: Re: NYC Trivia! Mon Nov 17, 2008 8:09 pm

The answer: Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. Brooklyn and Queens have their own respective libraries.

In the movie Gangs of New York (or even from your history lessons) you may recall the name William M Tweed also known as Boss Tweed. He was convicted of stealing taxpayer money through political corruption. Name the Democratic Party that Boss Tweed headed.
