Binghamton - Binghamton

Binghamton je grad u saveznoj državi New York, na ušću rijeka Susquehanne u Chenango. Kulturno je i financijsko središte šireg gradskog područja Binghamton i sjedište je okruga Broome. Binghamton je dio "Trostrukih gradova" s Endicott i Johnson City.

Binghamton ima mnogo fantastičnih primjera romaničke preporodne arhitekture u središtu grada; zbog toga i zbog kolekcije ukrašenih palača i lijepih domova poznat je kao Salonski grad. Područje Binghamtona poznato je i kao Američki glavni vrtuljak, dom 6 od preostalih 150 antičkih vrtuljaka u zemlji. Ostale povijesne atrakcije su Muzej Roberson, Svemirski centar Kopernik i Zoološki vrt Ross Park.

Rod Serling, scenarist i televizijski producent, rođen je ovdje, a ovdje je stvoren regionalni sendvič poznat kao "spiedie". Obilježavaju se na godišnjem Rod Serling Video Festu, odnosno Spiedie Festu i Balloon Rallyu. Unatoč položaju Binghamtona kao urbane jezgre regije, Nacionalna zaklada za Dan sjenica već dugi niz godina proglašava ga Gradom drvetom, a Better Homes and Gardens proglašava ga 9. najboljim zelenim gradom. Grad je također postigao međunarodno priznanje kao finalist nagrade Philips Livable Cities Award za svoj program Design Your Own Park.

Susjedni Vestal dom je za Državno sveučilište u New Yorku u Binghamtonu (Sveučilište Binghamton), koji djeluje kao atletsko, akademsko i kulturno središte grada.

Grad Binghamton podijeljen je u sedam četvrti.

Središte grada: Ovo je administrativno, poslovno, zabavno i prometno središte u regiji. Smješteno je na ušću rijeka Susquehanna i Chenango južno od južne željezničke pruge Norfolk i zapadno od autoceste Brandywine. Općenito, grad karakteriziraju komercijalna svojstva i nekoliko visokih stanova prema rijekama s jedno- i višestambenim stanovima niže klase prema autocesti. Postoji nekoliko područja urbane zaraze, ponajviše duž industrijske kralježnice Brandywine.

Downtown Binghamton zapažen je po svojoj arhitekturi i nalazi se na povijesnoj četvrti Court Street. Ova četvrt sadrži brojne povijesne građevine (ukupno 89) s prijelaza iz prošlog stoljeća, od kojih su najznačajnije Zgrada za tisak i Zaštitna uzajamna zgrada. Ovdje se nalaze i brojne zgrade u Nacionalnom registru slavnog arhitekta Isaaca G Perryja, uključujući Perry Block, sudnicu okruga Broome i Mansion Phelps.

Zapadna strana: Smješten preko puta rijeke Chenango od centra grada. Ovo je područje uglavnom stambeno i njegov je karakter u rasponu od urbanog do prigradskog. Općenito, područje između Seminarske avenije i rijeke Susquehanne naseljavaju stanovnici srednje i više klase, dok područje sjeverno od Seminarske avenije do Prvog odjela naseljavaju stanovnici radničke klase i studenti susjednih fakulteta. Uz Main St nalazi se komercijalni hodnik s uglavnom laganim komercijalnim objektima i nekoliko velikih placa. Srednja škola Binghamton, mjesto kazališta Helen Foley, nalazi se ovdje, odmah preko puta mosta Court St od centra grada. Lourdes bolnicu također možete pronaći ovdje.

Unatoč svom stambenom karakteru, na zapadnoj strani mogu se naći brojne povijesne i arhitektonski značajne građevine. Ovdje se mogu naći muzej Roberson, kuća generala Edwarda F. Jonesa i trakt Abel Bennett.

Južna strana: Southside se odnosi na područje grada južno od rijeke Susquehanna. Razlikuje se od domova više klase u zapadnom i južnom dijelu do uglavnom srednje klase svugdje drugdje. Na južnom kraju mosta S Washington St. nalazi se malo trgovačko središte, uključujući razne lagane komercijalne i restorane, a također je i mjesto Opće bolnice Binghamton. Uz lagane dijelove Conklin Ave može se naći više komercijalnih i malo lakih industrijskih dijelova, s više industrije što se dalje putuje prema istoku.

Southside je također dom zoološkog vrta Ross Park i Discovery Centra.

Istočna strana: Eastside leži istočno od centra grada uz sjevernu obalu rijeke Susquehanna. Najviše ga karakterizira Brandywine Industrial Spine, područje teške industrije i urbanih nevolja koje ga dijeli od ostatka grada. Osim toga, kvart je uglavnom radničke klase, a razne trgovine i restorani koncentrirani su na Robinson St. Rt 11 ili Upper Court St, kako je poznato nakon što prođe ispod Brandywinea, komercijalnije je prirode, s nekoliko tržnih centara i domom većina mjesta za zabavu za odrasle u regiji.

Originalna Dickova trgovina sportske robe još uvijek radi ovdje, može se naći na ulici Upper Court St, malo pokraj Vojske spasa. Na tom se području nalazi i Inebriate Azil države New York, prva ustanova za mentalno zdravlje koja alkoholizam tretira kao bolest. I njega je dizajnirao Isaac Perry te je naveden u državnom i nacionalnom povijesnom registru.

Sjeverna strana: Northside se nalazi sjeverno od centra grada preko željezničkih pruga Norfolk Southern. Karakteriziraju ga veliki dijelovi komercijalnih aktivnosti sjeverno od centra grada i duž ulice Chenango. Ostatak područja su stambene, uglavnom obiteljske kuće radničke klase.

Prvo odjeljenje: Prvo odjeljenje uglavnom je stambena četvrt. Zauzima područje zapadno od rijeke Chenango između južnih staza Norfolk I86 / Rt 17. Uz prednju ulicu postoji nekoliko zapaženih vila u viktorijanskom stilu koje su pretvorene u višestambene stanove, ali osim toga Prvo je odjeljenje uglavnom poznato po antičkim Row, smješten uz Clinton St. Mnogi dijelovi ove ulice propadaju, posebno prema Front St, ali ono što je ostalo pretvoreno je u brojne antikvarnice. Opera Tri-Cities također se može naći na adresi Clinton St.

Ely Park: Ely Park je područje zapadno od rijeke Chenango i sjeverno od I86 / Rt 17. Općenito je rezidencijalno i prvenstveno je poznato po općinskom igralištu za golf i državnom poticanom stambenom projektu koji se ovdje nalazi.

Veliki Binghamton

Iako statističko područje metropole Binghamton uključuje sve županije Broome i Tioga, područje koje se naziva Velikim Binghamtonom puno je manje definirano. Općenito, odnosi se na širu regiju konurbacije koja okružuje grad Binghamton, od Kirkwooda na istoku do Endicotta na zapadu i uključuje sljedeći popis gradova i sela. Većina tih zajednica smatra se malim predgrađima ili zajednicama s nekoliko tisuća stanovnika, međutim, postoji izuzetno visoka razina integracije među njima, toliko da većina autsajdera neće shvatiti da su prešli općinsku granicu. Mnogi će starosjedioci čak imati problema s razlikovanjem mjesta gdje jedna zajednica završava, a druga započinje. Te su zajednice značajne samo u regiji, jer je cijelo područje vanjskom svijetu poznato kao 'Binghamton'.

Most Chenango: Malo predgrađe Binghamton, nalazi se najdalje na sjeveru uz rijeku Chenango. Značajan je po mostu Rt 12A preko rijeke.

Conklin: Smješteno istočno od Binghamtona uz rijeku Susquehanna. Njegov industrijski park dom je nekoliko glavnih poslodavaca na tom području, uključujući L-3 Communications, Universal Instruments i Frito Lay. Postoji mali dvorac koji je kao rezidenciju sagradio Alpheus Corby 1900. godine. U njemu se nalazi nekoliko gradskih ureda.

Endwell: Općenito luksuzno stambeno predgrađe smješteno između Endicotta i Johnson Cityja, preko puta Susquehanne od Vestala. U njemu se nalazi Highland Park i njegov poznati vatromet od 4. srpnja, te nekoliko golf igrališta i IBM Glen. Tradicije lječilišta i odmarališta Glen možete pronaći ovdje.

Endicott

Hillcrest: Smješteno sjeverno od Binghamtona na istočnoj obali rijeke Chenango; nalazi se između Port Dickinsona i mosta Chenango. Ovo je malo stambeno predgrađe.

Johnson City: Dio "Trostrukih gradova" (iako je opet samo selo), Johnson City jedna je od glavnih zajednica u regiji. Selo se odmah graniči i ne razlikuje se od zapadne strane Binghamtona. Ovdje se može pronaći jedan od glavnih trgovačkih centara u regiji, trgovački centar Oakdale, kao i industrijska kičma Endicott-Johnson, područje industrijskih ruševina od 230 hektara (92 ha) koje se polako revitalizira. Uz glavnu ulicu u središtu Johnson Cityja nalazi se mnogo malih trgovina.

Luka Dickinson: Smješteno sjeverno od Binghamtona na suprotnoj strani rijeke od Hillcresta. Broome Community College možete pronaći ovdje, kao i Otseningo Park: dom Spedie Festa i Balloon Rallya. Port Dickinson (Port Dick) uglavnom je nastanjen u neposrednoj blizini BCC-a, međutim, sjevernije je komercijalna četvrt Upper Front Street. Ovo je manja verzija 'Parkwaya' u Vestalu i sadrži brojne trgovine, restorane, tržnice i trgovačke centre. Ovdje se može naći nekoliko većih lanaca trgovina kao što su Lowes i Regal Cinemas, jedno od regija dva kina s više zaslona. Port Dick također je dom Samu pivcu.

Vestalka: Vestal zauzima cijelu južnu obalu rijeke Susquehanna zapadno od Binghamtona. Ovo je trgovačko središte regija, s mnogim velikim trgovima, tržnim centrima, trgovačkim centrima i većinom regija velikih prodavaonica boksova izgrađenih duž Vestal Parkwaya. Također je puno teže industrije i uređaj za pročišćavanje otpadnih voda smješten uz Old Vestal Rd. Stambena područja više klase izgrađena su duž obronaka i vrhova brežuljaka na jugu. Zapadni dio Vestala, poznat kao "Četiri kuta", dom je škola Vestal (rangiranih među najviše u državi) i ima više mali gradski karakter, s malim trgovinama duž Front St-a i četvrtima srednje klase. Parkway je najprometnija prometnica na tom području i najbolje ga je izbjegavati ako nemate razloga biti tamo.

Zapadni kutovi: Smješteno sjeverno od Endicotta uz Rt 26, ovo se obično smatra najudaljenijim zapadnim dijelom regije Greater Binghamton. Postoji mala trgovačka tržnica okružena stanovima. West Corners poznat je samo po tome što je dom nacionalno priznatoj Phil's Chicken Houseu.

Binghamton ima vlažnu kontinentalnu klimu s 4 različita godišnja doba i dobro je poznat po tmurnom vremenu. Za sunčanih dana uobičajeno je čuti kako mještani primjećuju apsurd sunčeve svjetlosti u Binghamtonu: "Što je ovo ludo žuta kugla i zašto me tako boli u očima?" To se ne događa često, s obzirom da Binghamton u prosjeku ima samo 52 sunčana dana u godini. Binghamton također ima reputaciju jednog od najkišovitijih gradova u Americi. Nije, godišnje padne samo oko 30 centimetara kiše (90 cm), ali prosječno padne 161 dan kiše, pa se zasigurno može učiniti.

Proljeće vrijeme u Binghamtonu često je vrlo nesređeno, posebno rano. Snježne oluje krajem travnja, iako neuobičajene, nisu nečuvene. Često snijegu prethodi ili ga prati toplo vrijeme ... ponekad istog dana! Proljetne poplave su česte i rijeke su često povišene tijekom cijele sezone jer se prvo topi snijeg, a zatim dolaze jake kiše. Kišni dani nisu uobičajeniji od ostatka godine, ali su često teži. Međutim, kad završi nesređeno vrijeme ožujka i travnja, vrijeme je često fantastično s toplim, ugodnim danima i miris bezbroj proljetnih cvjetova ispunjavajući zrak.

Ljeto uglavnom nije prevruće, s temperaturama često između 27 i 30 ° C (80-30 ° C). Međutim, oni su vrlo vlažni, često represivni i najbolje ih je opisati kao 'močvarne'. Vlaga je uglavnom lošija u kolovozu i popodne kada su temperature najviše. Često će vlaga ostati povišena po nekoliko dana bez odmora, a često se pogoršava noću, čineći san neugodnim bez klima uređaja. Rojevi ogromnih komaraca ovih dana patroliraju gradom i poznato je da odvoze mačke i male pse.

Pad može biti jedno od najljepših godišnjih doba u Binghamtonu, a ne samo zbog krajolika. Vlaga se obično lomi sredinom rujna, a temperature će obično ostati ugodno tople sve dok ne padne snijeg ... obično na Noć vještica.

Zima obično je hladno, snježno i nepredvidivo. Neke su godine podložne ponovljenim ciklusima smrzavanja / odmrzavanja koji ostavljaju grad prekriven debelim slojem tvrdog snijega i leda. Ostale godine počinje padati snijeg i nikad ne prestaje, sa svakom novom olujom koja snijeg spakuje ispod u debeli sloj tvrdog snijega i leda. Vidite li trend ovdje? Grad je savršeno smješten da iskoristi snijegove s jezerom s Velikih jezera i Nor'Eastere koji dolaze s Atlantika (Nor'Easter je poput uragana, samo sa snijegom umjesto kiše). Međutim, udaljenost grada od jezera i barijere koju čine Apalačke planine obično ih ograničavaju na samo metar ili dva odjednom. Odjel za javne radove čini prohodan posao održavanja autocesta čistima, ali užasno je radio na gradskim ulicama, a neke ulice uopće nisu zaorane tek nekoliko dana nakon što je oluja prošla.

Karta Binghamtona

Avionom

Zračna luka BGM ne služi se javnim prijevozom. Opcije zemaljskog prijevoza uključuju:

  • Iznajmljivanje automobila na licu mjesta od Avisa, Budgeta i Hertza.
  • Najam automobila izvan mjesta dostupan je u Enterpriseu. Oni nude dodatnu uslugu preuzimanja i odlaska ako vaš let stigne ili polijeće tijekom uobičajenog radnog vremena.
  • Licencirani taksiji dostupni su izvan terminala i odvest će vas bilo gdje u okrugu Broome za 25 dolara. Dobro je nazvati čim vaš let sleti, iako se u vršno vrijeme dolaska kabine već mogu poredati vani.

Najbliže su veće zračne luke Međunarodna zračna luka Syracuse-HancockSYR IATA, otprilike 70 km (110 km) sjeverno od Binghamtona i međunarodne zračne luke Albany ALB IATA, 153 km (153 km) sjeveroistočno. Ako dolazite izvan istočne obale, ove zračne luke možda će vam ponuditi bolji raspon leta, zajedno s konkurentnijim cijenama zbog prisutnosti niskotarifnih prijevoznika. Uz širi spektar glavnih i regionalnih usluga za American, Delta i United, Syracuse također pružaju Allegiant i JetBlue, dok Albany pruža Southwest Airlines. Druga alternativa je uletjeti u jedno od troje New York City zračne luke (Newark, JFK, ili LaGuardia) i dolazite do Binghamtona čestim autobusnim linijama iz lučke uprave (vidi dolje) - ovo je možda najbolja opcija ako dolazite sa zapadne obale ili iz inozemstva.

Druga je mogućnost uletjeti u Elmira, što je oko sat vremena vožnje (otprilike 67 milja). Ulaznice su obično malo jeftinije i na raspolaganju im je više opcija od izravnih letova u i izvan BGM-a.

Autobusom

Međugradski autobusni prijevoz dostupan je s autobusnog kolodvora Binghamton u središnjem gradu uz BC Junction (čvorište lokalne autobusne linije).

New York City

  • Hrt / staze: Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, New York (lučka uprava)
  • Trener SAD : Monticello, Newark NJ, New York (lučka uprava)
  • Megabus prodaje karte na svojoj web stranici između Manhattana i Binghamtona. Megabus ne vozi svoje dvospratne autobuse do Binghamtona; ove karte su snižene cijene unaprijed kupnje za postojeću uslugu do / iz lučke uprave na autobusu USA (koji je vlasnik Megabusa). Ulaznice kupljene putem Megabusa vrijede samo određenog datuma i vremena. Ako ne rezervirate noćni polazak ili nekoliko tjedana unaprijed, cijena karte za Megabus možda neće biti toliko manja (a povremeno je zapravo veća!) Ako niste sigurni u svoje datume i vrijeme putovanja, razmislite o izravnoj kupnji standardne karte od Coach USA - vrijede za bilo koji autobus u roku od 30 dana (u jednom smjeru) ili 90 dana (kružno putovanje) od kupnje. Karte za Manhattan ili s njega možete kupiti samo putem Megabusa, karte za ostala odredišta autobusa SAD (Ithaca, Monticello itd.) Morate kupiti na autobusnom kolodvoru.

Dalje Upstate i Kanada

  • Hrt / staze : Cortland, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Toronto
  • Hrt / staze: Itaka, Ženeva, Rochester, Buffalo, Toronto
  • Trener SAD: Owego, Itaka
  • Trener SAD: Polog, Norwich

Istočna država New York i Nova Engleska

  • Trener SAD : Oneonta, Colbleskill, Albany
  • Hrt / staze : Oneonta, Cobleskill, Albany, Worcester, Boston (Južni kolodvor)

Južni nivo

  • Trener SAD : Corning, Elmira, Big Flats, Olean i Jamestown; i nastavak usluge za instituciju Mayville-Chautauqua (sezonska), Westfield, Dunkirk / Fredonia i Buffalo na autobusnom autobusu Coach USA ErieLine.

Vlakom

Najbliža stanica Amtrak udaljena je 105 km Sirakuza, koju opslužuju vlakovi Empire Corridor / Maple Leaf i Lakeshore Limited. Iako je moguće voziti se vlakom do Sirakuze i autobusom do Binghamtona, osim ako ne dolazite zapadno od Buffalo obično je jeftinije i brže izravno autobusom. New York City dobro opslužuju hrt / staza i trener USA (vidi gore).

Automobilom

Tri autoceste opslužuju područje Binghamtona.

BC Transit autobusi u kampusu sveučilišta Binghamton

Javni prijevoz

Javni prijevoz u širem Binghamtonu i udaljenim područjima opslužuje BC Transit, usluga zračne luke Odjel za promet okruga Broome. Autobusi voze radnim danom otprilike od 6 do 21 sat, subotom od 7 do 18 i nedjeljom od 9:30 do 17:00. Neke rute ne prometuju vikendom, usluga može biti ograničena ili obustavljena za državne praznike. Gotovinske cijene su 2 USD po vožnji (uključuje jednu prijevoznu kartu, ako se zatraži). Ako ćete se autobusom voziti više od dva puta u jednom danu, vozač može kupiti neograničenu dnevnu kartu za 5 dolara. Tjedne (25 USD) i mjesečne (70 USD) karte također su dostupne u uredu BC Transit (na spoju) ili mjestima Weis Market u okrugu Broome.

Opcije prijevoza nisu ograničene na lokalne fiksne rute. BC BC osigurava prijevoz u udaljenim područjima, ali se mora unaprijed dogovoriti.

Taksi

Taksija ima u gradu u izobilju, za vrijeme ne vrhunca planirajte nazvati 20 minuta prije nego što budete spremni za polazak. Unaprijed rezervirati taksi uglavnom je nepotrebno i mnogi operatori u Binghamtonu odbijaju ovu praksu, osim ako nemate let ili autobus za ulov.

  • Sveučilišna kabina 1 607-797-5555
  • Žuti taksi 1 607-722-2322
  • A-1 Ljubazna kabina 1 607-723-2000
  • AAA gradska kabina 1 607-722-2422

Postoji i nekoliko manjih operatera s voznim parkom manjim od pet vozila. BC Junction, zračna luka, studentski sindikat sveučilišta Binghamton i neki hoteli u centru grada imaju taksi stanice, ali to je prije iznimka nego pravilo. Možda ćete se zateći kako dijelite svoj taksi s drugim putnicima kad je potražnja velika (iako će vozači pokupiti samo dodatne putnike koji idu u istom općem smjeru, a vi ćete općenito biti odbačeni redoslijedom po kojem ste bili prebačeni.) Cijene vozila regulira županija (iako se mogu razlikovati za dolar ili dva, ovisno o operateru) i koriste sustav zona, a ne taksimetar.

  • Osnovna cijena varira ovisno o operateru, ali obično iznosi 6-8 USD.
  • Cijene putovanja povećavaju se za 1 USD po zoni dok putujete kroz svaku od šest gradske zone:
  • Central City
  • Westside i First Ward
  • Gornja Front Street
  • Northside i Eastside
  • Južna strana
  • Istočni Vestal (do i uključujući kampus Sveučilišta Binghamton)
U pravilu prelazite u novu zonu svaki put kad prijeđete rijeku, željezničke pruge ili gradsku liniju.
  • Izvan gore opisanog zonskog sustava, cijena karte po gradu raste 2 USD:
  • Zapadni Vestal (izvan BU kampusa)
  • Johnson City
  • Selo Endwell
  • Selo Endicott
  • Seoske zajednice (npr. Port Dickinson, Windsor, Kirkwood itd.) Naplaćuju se na temelju ukupne kilometraže. Dispečerski centar će vam dati kartu prije nego što vas vozač preuzme.
  • Putovanja do zračne luke Binghamton, bez obzira na podrijetlo, iznose 25 USD.

U okrugu Broome (ili bilo gdje u državi New York, osim Pet općina i dijelovi od Dugi otok.)

Bicikl

Bicikl rute postoje, ali su ograničene. Postoji nekoliko ulica s određenim biciklističkim stazama, a još nekoliko s oznakama kako bi upozorili vozače na mogući biciklistički promet. Međutim, prijevoz bicikla nije uobičajen, a mnogi vozači, iako nisu neprijateljski raspoloženi, izgleda da nisu sigurni kako se nositi s biciklističkim prometom.

Autoceste i ceste

I-81.svg Međudržavna 81

  • I-81 je glavna savezna autocesta sjever-jug koja prolazi središnjim i jugoistočnim dijelom Velikog Binghamtona. Povezuje Binghamton s Sirakuza prema sjeveru i Scranton prema jugu. Iako promet tijekom gužve može biti gust, uglavnom se kreće brzinom.

I-86.svg Međudržavna 86 /NY-17.svg Ruta države New York 17

  • NY 17 je važna ruta na tom području, koja služi kao glavna osovina putovanja istok-zapad u regiji Greater Binghamton. Tijekom gužve promet može biti gust, ali se uglavnom odvija bez problema. Ruta povezuje Interstate 90 u Erie s Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) u Harriman kao podijeljena autocesta, a poznata je kao Južni nivo Autocesta zapadno od Binghamtona.
  • I-86 nadogradnja je postojeće brze ceste NY 17 između Erie i Harrimana. Od 2014. godine međudržavna oznaka je nepotpuna, s odjeljkom od Elmira do Eriea i dijela istočno od Binghamtona označenog kao I-86.

I-88.svg Međudržavna 88

  • Autocesta senatora Warrena M. Andersona / brza cesta Susquehanna. Izravna je veza od Binghamtona do Schenectady, s vezama na New York State Thruway (I-87 / I-90) koji pruža pristup Albany.

SAD 11.svg Američka ruta 11

  • SAD 11 uspoređuje se s I-81 većim dijelom svoje rute, uključujući Binghamton. Poput I-81, US 11 je put sjever-jug kroz središnji i jugoistočni dio grada. Međutim, SAD 11 ide točno kroz grad, umjesto da ga zaobilazi. US 11 slijedi Court St kroz centar grada, a nakon prelaska mosta Court St skreće prema sjeveru na Front St.

NY-7.svg Državna ruta New York 7

  • Paralele US 11 na južnoj obali rijeke Susquehanne od Pennsylvania granica dok na mostu Tompkins St ne skrene na sjever. Conklin Ave vozi istovremeno s NY 7 većim dijelom svoje duljine. Poznat je kao autocesta Brandywine od mosta Tompkins St do presijecanja I-88 (što je paralelno s Schenectady).

NY-12.svg Državna ruta New York 12

  • Počinje u regiji Gingter Binghamton, odstupajući od SAD-a 11 sjeverno od Port Dickinsona. NY 12 povezuje Binghamton sa Utica. Upper Front St nastavlja duž NY 12 milju ili dvije sjevernije. NY 12A odavde se razilazi na zajednicu mosta Chenango.

NY-17C.svg Državna ruta New York 17C

  • NY 17C putuje od zapada prema istoku u Greater Binghamton od Owego, a poznat je kao Main St u većini zajednica kroz koje prolazi. Završava na ulici Front St u Binghamtonu, ali cesta se nastavlja kao Court St (US 11) do centra grada.

NY-26.svg Državna ruta New York 26

  • Glavna ruta sjever-jug na zapadnom kraju šireg područja Binghamton. Počinje na Pennsylvania granica na jugu Vestala i putuje prema sjeveru do Endicotta, West Cornera, Whitney Pointa i dalje.

NY-201.svg Državna ruta New York 201

  • Kratka autocesta sjever-jug između dvije glavne trgovačke četvrti, koja povezuje Harry L Drive u Johnson City (uključujući trgovački centar Oakdale) i Vestal Parkway s I-86 / NY 17 i NY 17C. Ovo je jedan od najprometnijih mostova preko rijeke Susquehanne, a promet se povremeno može zaustaviti na tragovima prema jugu tijekom špica.

NY-363.svg Državna ruta New York 363

  • Lokalno poznat kao North Shore Drive, kratka je autocesta s ograničenim pristupom sjever-jug koja zaobilazi centar Binghamtona i povezuje NY 434 s NY 7 i I-81 / NY 17 (izlaz 4 S).

NY-434.svg Državna ruta New York 434

  • Općenito nazvan Vestal Parkway između gradske linije Binghamton i Županija Tioga granica, ovom se cestom jako putuje i nju je najbolje izbjegavati kad god je to moguće. Dio između Bunn Hill Rd i African Rd uglavnom je dom brojnim trgovima i tržnim centrima, a tijekom dana je vrlo zagušen.

Važne lokalne ceste

  • Ulica Chenango Glavna prometnica kroz Binghamton / Port Dickinson / Hillcrest na istočnoj obali rijeke Chenango.
  • Ulica Clinton Glavna prometnica kroz Prvi odjel u Binghamtonu. Dom antičkog veslanja.
  • Conklin Ave Glavna prometnica kroz Binghamton / Conklin na južnoj obali rijeke Susquehanna.
  • Sudska ulica Glavna prometnica kroz Binghamton istočno od rijeke Chenango.
  • Cvjetna Ave U velikoj mjeri stambena. Povezuje glavnu ulicu u Binghamtonu s prometnim krugom.
  • Front Street Glavna prometnica kroz Binghamton / Port Dickinson na zapadnoj obali rijeke Chenango.
  • Hooper Road Glavna prometnica kroz Endwell.
  • Glavna ulica Nekad je bila glavna spojna cesta Trojnih gradova (Binghamton, Endicott i Johnson City) i služila je kao komercijalno srce svakog od njih. Mnogo jedinstvenih malih trgovina još uvijek se mogu naći u svakom od njihovih trgovačkih okruga.
  • Stara cesta Vestal Nekad je bila glavna istočna / zapadna prometnica kroz Vestal. Sada služi kao alternativa Vestal Parkwayu, ali može postati zagušen s drugim ljudima koji to žele učiniti.
  • Riverside Drive Glavna prometnica kroz Binghamton / Johnson City uz sjevernu obalu rijeke Susquehanna. Značajan po broju velikih povijesnih rezidencija duž svoje dužine.

Zračna fotografija zloglasne krivulje Kamikaze
  • Gradski prometni krug Johnson U Johnson City, povezuje Floral Ave, Riverside Drive i NY 201.
  • Kamikaze krivulja Razmjena I-81 / NY 17. Ova opasna izmjena varijanta je uobičajenog oblika Directional-T, s razmjenom izgrađenom kao križanje u tri razine izravno preko rijeke Chenango. Opasnost uglavnom dolazi od oštre krivine koja NY 17 zavija oko planine Prospect neposredno prije / nakon čvora. U svim smjerovima malo je upozorenja o tome koliko je oštra krivulja i, s presijecanjem I-81 na krivulji, može biti teško spojiti se. Da bi se situacija dodatno zakomplicirala, čvor se nalazi na dnu brda, oko vrlo uskog nagnutog ugla. Kao dio nadogradnje NY 17 na I-86, tekuća izgradnja radi na ispravljanju situacije premještanjem točaka spajanja čvorišta i rekonfiguracijom nekoliko izlaza na tom području. Očekuje se da će projekt biti gotov 2019.

Parkiralište

  • Parkiranje s odmjerenim mjestima dostupno je na većini gradskih ulica oko središta grada, te nekoliko blokova s ​​obje strane Glavne ulice na zapadnoj strani - četvrt vam osigurava 15 minuta parkiranja, a maksimalno koliko jedan metar može smjestiti u jednom trenutku su dva sata . Ulično parkiranje je besplatno od 18:00 od ponedjeljka do petka i cijeli dan vikendom. Imajte na umu da su neki prostori u Court Streetu pod kutom u odnosu na ivičnjak, a kako znakovi jasno pokazuju, morate vratite svoje vozilo. Nepravilno parkirajte i vi htjeti dobiti kartu.
  • Garaže su također dostupne u ulici State u blizini gradske vijećnice i suda, ulici Exchange preko puta BC Junction i Water Street iza robne kuće Boscovs. Plaćeni planovi postoje u ulici Stuart u blizini Holiday Inna i iza Metrocentara. Garaže se naplaćuju po satu, a plaćeni lotovi naplaćuju fiksnu naknadu za cijeli dan, a naknade se naplaćuju svakodnevno, svakodnevno.
  • Parkiranje je besplatno na drugim gradskim ulicama u stambenim naseljima, imajte na umu da grad od prosinca do travnja traži zamjenski bočni parking za pomoć u uklanjanju snijega. Nakon 17:00, ne zaboravite parkiraj za sutra, što znači da je sljedeći dan parni dan (2., 4., 6., itd. u mjesecu) park na parnoj strani ulice, isto tako ako će sutra biti neparan dan (1., 3., 5. itd. od mjesec), parkirajte na neparnoj strani ulice nakon 17:00. Preko noći parkirajte na pogrešnoj strani i završit ćete s kartom. Imajte na umu da pravilo o zamjenskoj bočnoj liniji i dalje vrijedi čak i ako je na jednoj strani ulice označeno "zabranjeno parkiranje" (osim ako blok nema znak koji označava izuzeće.) Prije 17:00, vozila bi trebala biti parkirana sa strane ulica koja odgovara datumu tog dana, iako se u praksi to ne provodi osim ako pada snijeg i ako plugovi nisu vani. Od svibnja do studenog možete parkirati s obje strane ulice pod uvjetom da nije označeno "nema parkiranja".
  • Sveučilište Binghamton djeluje na sustavu dozvola za cijelo područje kampusa. Možete kupiti kartu za parkiranje posjetitelja za 6 USD iz kabine za informacije, parkirati u odmjerenom prostoru (jedan je u blizini knjižnice, drugi pored upravne zgrade) ili garažu u blizini likovne umjetnosti za 1 USD po satu. Parkiranje je teško naći tijekom tjedna tijekom predavanja, a sveučilište potiče studente izvan kampusa da koriste tranzit ili šetnju.
  • Zakon države New York omogućava policiji izdavanje parkirne karte ako je naljepnica za pregled na vašem vozilu zastarjela. U Binghamtonu postoji veća šansa da će vas se iz ovog razloga navoditi, čak i ako se nisu dogodila druga kršenja pravila parkiranja. Uvijek biste trebali voziti s trenutnom naljepnicom za inspekciju, ali izbjegavajte ulično parkiranje i držite se garaža, privatnih parcela i prilaznih putova ako je vašem istekao rok trajanja.
  • Kazne za parkiranje u Binghamtonu skupe su čak i po mjerama države New York. Većina manjih prekršaja (npr. Prekoračeni metar, parkiran na pogrešnoj strani zimi) košta 70 USD, međutim ako kartu platite u roku od dva radna dana, bilo osobno u gradskoj vijećnici, putem interneta ili poštom (grad koristi poštanski žig, odredi datum plaćanja), kazna se smanjuje za 50%. To se ne odnosi na ozbiljnija kršenja, poput blokiranja vatrogasnog hidranta ili korištenja prostora za osobe s invaliditetom bez odgovarajuće dozvole.

Leave yourself a good hour to explore the shop.

Jesti

Binghamton has always been (and still is) a melting pot of ethnic flavors. The city's history has been strongly influenced by German, Italian, and Polish immigrants; with many today coming from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and India. The eateries in the city reflect this and provide that big city cultural and culinary experience largely missing in many small cities. Many of the national chains are present in the city as well, and are easily located.

This cafe doesn't rent out computers and internet access by the hour but does feature live music at least four nights a week along with more than 22 beers on tap (emphasis on craft beer and local breweries from the Southern Tier), bottled beer and local wine - ask owner Jeff Kahn for his hilarious explanation as to why he won't serve liquor! Students and locals refer to this place as their "second home" in Binghamton, and indeed it has a very "homey" atmosphere with lots of couches and easy chairs to sprawl out on. Innovative and tasty sandwiches and wraps (many of which are vegetarian or vegan friendly) along with coffee, espresso, tea and soft drinks. Beer specials every Sunday and Wednesday. Team Trivia on Mondays, Open Mike or Karaoke on Tuesday, and live music Wednesday-Saturday evenings and occasionally Sunday afternoons. The owner's band jam band, which depending on the lineup that evening is called either "Thing 1", "Thing Two", or "Monkey's Typing" (the very original lineup which recorded studio albums and toured locally) performs on Thursdays and is excellent. Most shows are free although some larger bands on the weekends can attract a $5-10 cover charge, all ages venue. Free wi-fi. Proračun.

Choose your favorite flavor(s), top it with fruit, candy, or sauces and pay by the ounce. A word of note - Sweet Frog is owned by born again Christians (according to signs in the store, FROG is an acronym for Fully Rely On God) and elements of this are visible throughout the store: many of the employees wear crosses, hymns or contemporary Christian music plays on the muzak, and most of the non-edible merchandise carried is of a religious nature (illustrated bible stories, for example) although there are no attempts at overt proselytization. If religious symbols make you uncomfortable, Binghamton is home to several other yogurt chains, including Hoopla on Upper Front Street (next to Moe's) and Simply Sweet on Washington Street in central city (right over the foot bridge). Proračun.

  • Taj Restaurant, 59 Main St.

japanski

The Binghamton area has a relatively high number of traditional and not so traditional Japanese restaurants, possibly owing to the significant international student population from Asia (which may also explain why the majority of these restaurants are located within a mile or two of the Binghamton University campus on the Vestal Parkway.)

  • [mrtva veza]Fuji San, 4105 Vestal Parkway East (next to Quality Inn and Suites), 1 607-797-9888. Probably the best choice for authentic Japanese cuisine with an extensive menu, hibachi, and sushi bar. Srednja klasa.
  • Kampai, 108 North Jensen Road, Vestal, 1 607 798-7521. They advertise themselves as "three restaurants under one roof", and offer distinct sections for traditional Japanese dining, hibachi, and sushi. Very high quality, albeit pricey. Razmetanje.

  • Cortese Restaurant, 117 Robinson St.

The winding stairwell that you follow down drops you at what used to be the ground floor when State Street was the Chenango Canal. The light fare is the best here, especially the thin crust pizza.
  • Little Venice Restaurant, 111 Chenango St (near the bus station), 1 607 724-2513. Tu-Su 11AM-11PM. This charming little restaurant offers more than the outside suggests.

Specialty and steakhouses

Spiedies

The Spiedie is a regional dish born in Binghamton to Italian immigrants. It consists of marinated chunks of meat grilled over charcoal on metal skewers. It is served still on the skewer with a slice of Italian bread (almost always Felix Roma's) used to pull the meat off, usually with a little marinade drizzled on top. The original meat was lamb, but has come to include chicken, pork, and venison.

  • Sharkey's Restaurant, 56 Glenwood Ave, 1 607 729-9201. Purported to be the birthplace of the spiedie, it is certainly the oldest remaining purveyor and one of the tastiest. Proračun.

Državna ulica

One of the most popular areas in Binghamton for the drinking crowd, particularly among BU students. The pub area of the street is generally closed town to vehicular traffic in the evenings on weekends. This is the epicenter of the annual 'Pub Crawl' among graduating BU seniors.

LGBT

Although not quite to the extent of rainbow filled Itaka, Binghamton is a diverse and accepting city with a "live and let live" attitude. Nearly all the major bars and nightlife spots see both locals and college students who are openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender on a regular basis, odds are nobody even gives it a second thought. (Bars where being openly LGBT mogli be problematic are well off the beaten path in the rural outskirts of the city and likely would not be of any interest to tourists. Even if you did happen to stumble into one by mistake, odds you would face outright hostility or violence are fairly low). Discrimination based on sexual orientation or (as of 2016) gender identity/ expression is a crime in New York State.

Binghamton's sole gay bar/club (Merlins) closed in 2015, although there are other spots that tend to attract a larger LGBT crowd:

  • Matty B's Bar, Corner of Glenwood and Prospect St, 1 607 217-7067. 8PM-1AM Tues-Thurs, 8PM-3AM Fri-Sat, closed Sun-Mon. Dive with a fun, diverse and primarily local crowd. Small food menu (wings, sliders, fries, etc.), Yuengling on tap, the usual suspects (Bud Lite, Labatt, Sam Adams, Heineken, etc.) in bottles, and a very respectable liquor selection. They are famous for their Irish Car Bombs and a couple very interesting speciality cocktails, typically one or two of which are drink specials on any given night. Regardless, pours are generous and prices extremely reasonable. Trivia on Thursdays, karaoke Fridays, live music some Saturdays, pool and darts every day. Not specifically a gay bar but owned and bartended by an adorable couple Marty and Sam, flies the pride flag outside and many of the regulars are either members of the LGBT community or strong allies.

Binghamton has many places to stay, but if you will be visiting around Binghamton University's Commencement (late May, early June), be sure to book VERY early. Hotels have been known to fill up a year in advance.

Naučiti

  • Sveučilište Binghamton is one of the four flagship "University Centers" of the SUNY system and is generally regarded as a "Public Ivy" due to its high level of research activity. The university is well known for it's programs in engineering, computer science, biotech, nursing, K-12 education, music (particularly opera performance and musicology) and theatre, however a wide variety of undergraduate, masters, doctoral, and pre-professional programs are offered.
  • SUNY Broome[mrtva veza] (ranije Broome County Community College) is a two-year community college offering associate degrees and certificate programs.

Raditi

Binghamton (along with Upstate New York in general) has struggled economically over the second half of the 20th century. New York State has been trying to develop Binghamton as the state's "tech hub", encouraging startups and small businesses to relocate to the area with substantial tax and other incentives. While there has been some growth in the technology sector the past few years, so far this has been largely restricted to engineering, robotics, and aerospace and hasn't yet extended to software or web development. Companies such as IBM, Sanmina, BAE Systems, Universal Instruments, and Lockheed Martin all have a substantial presence in the Triple Cities and are among the largest employers in Broome County.

The other two major skilled fields are medicine and education. Both hospital systems in the area, United Health Service and Our Lady of Lourdes (Catholic Health) always have a demand for medical staff (especially nurses), along with IT, administrative, and support professionals. Binghamton University, being one of the flagship campuses of the SUNY system, employs a significant number of faculty members, researchers and support staff members. Although not to the same extent, Broome County Community College also employs a similar range of people.

High paying positions that do not require either professional licenses and/or a graduate degree are still relatively hard to come by. There are still a small number of manufacturing jobs available through Raymond Corporation, Felchar, and Frito-Lay. Several larger companies operate call centers in and around Binghamton, including Time Warner Cable and New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG). Contract call centers (hired by a company to replace or augment their in-house customer service department) also exist. The largest of these is Nationwide Credit (NCI), a former collection agency in Endicott.

Being a college town, there are also a multitude of jobs available each year in restaurants, bars, and retail, although many of these positions are part-time without benefits. That said, these positions may help you get your foot in the door into the area if you're looking to relocate, and Binghamton is not a bad small city to relocate to or settle down in. Many believe that Binghamton is on the verge of its second renaissance with a multitude of natural and cultural resources, a relatively low cost of living, and extremely friendly and hard working people who would be more than happy to welcome you into the community.
