Binghamton - Binghamton

Binghamton je mesto v zvezni državi New Yorkob sotočju rek Susquehanna in Chenango. Je kulturno in finančno središče velemestnega območja Binghamton in sedež okrožja Broome. Binghamton je del "Triple Cities" z Endicott in Johnson City.

Binghamton ima v središču mesta številne fantastične primere romanske preporodne arhitekture; zaradi tega in zaradi zbirke okrašenih dvorcev in lepih domov je znano kot Salonsko mesto. Območje Binghamton je znano tudi kot Ameriška prestolnica vrtiljakov, kjer živi 6 od preostalih 150 starinskih vrtiljakov v državi. Druge zgodovinske znamenitosti so Robersonov muzej, Vesoljski center Kopernik in živalski vrt Ross Park.

Rodil se je Rod Serling, scenarist in televizijski producent, tu pa je nastal regionalni sendvič, znan kot "spiedie". Praznujejo jih na letnem Rod Serling Video Festu in Spiedie Festu oziroma Balloon Rallyu. Kljub temu, da je Binghamton mesto urbano jedro regije, ga je National Arbor Day Foundation že vrsto let imenovala za Tree City in ga Better Homes and Gardens uvršča na 9. mesto najboljših zelenih mest. Mesto je mednarodno priznanje doseglo tudi kot finalist za nagrado Philips Livable Cities Award za svoj program Design Your Own Park.

Sosednji Vestal je dom za Državna univerza v New Yorku v Binghamtonu (Binghamton University), ki deluje kot atletsko, akademsko in kulturno središče mesta.

Mesto Binghamton je razdeljeno na sedem sosesk.

Center mesta: To je upravno, poslovno, zabaviščno in prevozno središče v regiji. Nahaja se ob sotočju rek Susquehanna in Chenango južno od južnih železniških tirov Norfolk in zahodno od avtoceste Brandywine. Na splošno so za mesto značilne poslovne lastnosti in več stolpnic ob rekah z eno- in večstanovanjskimi stanovanji nižjega razreda proti avtocesti. Obstaja več področij urbane škode, predvsem ob industrijski hrbtenici Brandywine.

Downtown Binghamton je znan po svoji arhitekturi in je mesto zgodovinskega okrožja Court Street. V tem okrožju je veliko zgodovinskih stavb (skupno 89) s preloma prejšnjega stoletja, med katerimi sta najbolj opazni Tiskovna in Varnostna vzajemna stavba. Tu se nahajajo tudi številne stavbe v nacionalnem registru slovitega arhitekta Isaaca G Perryja, vključno z blokom Perry, sodiščem okrožja Broome in dvorcem Phelps.

Zahodna stran: Nahaja se čez reko Chenango od centra mesta. To območje je večinoma stanovanjsko in ima svoj značaj od mestnega do primestnega. Na splošno območje med Seminarijo in reko Susquehanna naseljujejo prebivalci srednjega in višjega razreda, medtem ko območje severno od Seminarske avenije do Prvega oddelka naseljujejo prebivalci delavskega razreda in študenti sosednjih fakultet. Ob Main St je trgovski koridor z večinoma lažjimi komercialnimi objekti in nekaj velikimi plazami. Srednja šola Binghamton, lokacija gledališča Helen Foley, se nahaja tukaj, tik čez most Court St iz središča mesta. Tu najdete tudi bolnišnico Lourdes.

Kljub stanovanjskemu značaju je na zahodu mogoče najti številne zgodovinske in arhitekturno pomembne stavbe. Muzej Roberson, hiša generala Edwarda F. Jonesa in trakt Abel Bennett najdete tukaj.

Južna stran: Southside se nanaša na območje mesta južno od reke Susquehanna. Razlikuje se od domov višjega razreda v zahodnem in južnem delu do večinoma srednjega razreda povsod drugje. Na južnem koncu mostu S Washington St je majhno trgovsko središče z različnimi lahkimi trgovinami in restavracijami, kjer je tudi Splošna bolnišnica Binghamton. Ob delih Conklin Ave je mogoče najti več lahkih komercialnih in nekaj lahke industrijske industrije, več industrije pa potuje vzhodneje.

V Southsideu sta tudi živalski vrt Ross Park in Discovery Center.

Vzhodna stran: Eastside leži vzhodno od središča mesta ob severnem bregu reke Susquehanna. Zanj je značilna predvsem Brandywine Industrial Spine, območje težke industrije in urbane škode, ki ga ločuje od ostalega dela mesta. Poleg tega je v soseski večinoma delavski razred, različne trgovine in restavracije pa so osredotočene na Robinson St. Rt 11 ali Upper Court St, kot je znano, ko preide pod Brandywine, je bolj komercialne narave, z več nakupovalnimi centri in domovi večina prodajnih mest za odrasle v regiji.

Prvotna trgovina s športno opremo Dick's tukaj še vedno deluje, najdete jo na zgornjem dvorišču St, malo mimo vojske odrešenja. Območje je tudi nedopustni azil države New York, prva ustanova za duševno zdravje, ki alkoholizem obravnava kot bolezen. Tudi njega je zasnoval Isaac Perry in je uvrščen v državni in nacionalni zgodovinski register.

Northside: Northside se nahaja severno od centra mesta čez železniške proge Norfolk Southern. Zanj so značilni veliki deli komercialnih dejavnosti severno od centra mesta in ob ulici Chenango. Preostali del območja so stanovanjske, večinoma enodružinske hiše iz delavskega razreda.

Prvi oddelek: Prvi oddelek je večinoma stanovanjska soseska. Zavzema območje zahodno od reke Chenango med južnimi stezami Norfolk I86 / Rt 17. Ob sprednji ulici je nekaj opaznih dvorcev v viktorijanskem slogu, ki so bili spremenjeni v večstanovanjska stanovanja, a poleg tega je prvi oddelek večinoma znan po antiki. Row, ki se nahaja vzdolž ulice Clinton St. Številni deli te ulice so uničeni, zlasti proti Front St, toda tisto, kar je ostalo, so spremenili v številne starinarnice. Opera Tri-Cities je na voljo tudi na ulici Clinton St.

Ely Park: Park Ely je območje zahodno od reke Chenango in severno od I86 / Rt 17. Splošno je stanovanjsko in je znano predvsem po občinskem igrišču za golf in istoimenskem vladnem subvencioniranem stanovanjskem projektu.

Večji Binghamton

Medtem ko statistično območje Binghamton Metropolitan vključuje vse okrožje Broome in Tioga, je območje, imenovano Veliki Binghamton, veliko manj opredeljeno. Na splošno se nanaša na večje območje somestja, ki obkroža mesto Binghamton, od Kirkwooda na vzhodu do Endicotta na zahodu, in vključuje naslednji seznam mest in vasi. Večina teh skupnosti velja za majhna predmestja ali skupnosti spalnic z nekaj tisoč prebivalci, vendar je med njimi izjemno visoka stopnja integracije, tako da večina tujcev ne bo ugotovila, da so prestopili občinsko mejo. Mnogi domačini bodo celo imeli težave z razlikovanjem, kje se ena skupnost konča, druga pa začne. Te skupnosti so pomembne samo znotraj regije, saj je celotno območje zunanjemu svetu znano kot "Binghamton".

Most Chenango: Majhno predmestje Binghamtona se nahaja najbolj oddaljeno proti reki Chenango. Znamenit je most Rt 12A čez reko.

Conklin: Nahaja se vzhodno od Binghamtona ob reki Susquehanna. V njegovem industrijskem parku živi več glavnih delodajalcev na tem območju, vključno z L-3 Communications, Universal Instruments in Frito Lay. Tam je majhen grad, ki ga je leta 1900 zgradil Alpheus Corby kot rezidenco. V njem je več mestnih pisarn.

Endwell: Na splošno razkošno stanovanjsko predmestje, stisnjeno med Endicottom in Johnson Cityjem ter čez Susquehanno od Vestala. V njej se nahaja Highland Park in njegov dobro znani ognjemet četrtega julija ter več igrišč za golf in IBM Glen. Tradicije v spa in letovišču Glen najdete tukaj.

Endicott

Hillcrest: Nahaja se severno od Binghamtona na vzhodnem bregu reke Chenango; je med Port Dickinsonom in mostom Chenango. To je majhno stanovanjsko predmestje.

Johnson City: Del "trojnih mest" (čeprav je spet le vas) je Johnson City ena večjih skupnosti v regiji. Vas takoj meji in je ni mogoče ločiti od zahodne strani Binghamtona. Tu je mogoče najti eno glavnih nakupovalnih središč v regiji, nakupovalni center Oakdale Mall, pa tudi industrijsko hrbtenico Endicott-Johnson, območje industrijskih ruševin s površino 230 hektarjev (92 ha), ki se počasi oživlja. V središču mesta Johnson City je veliko glavnih trgovin ob Main St.

Port Dickinson: Nahaja se severno od Binghamtona na nasprotni strani reke od Hillcresta. Tu lahko najdete Broome Community College, prav tako Otseningo Park: dom Spedie Festa in balonskega relija. Port Dickinson (Port Dick) je večinoma stanovanjski objekt v neposredni bližini BCC, bolj severno pa je trgovsko okrožje Upper Front Street. To je manjša različica 'Parkwaya' na Vestalu in vsebuje številne trgovine, restavracije, tržnice in razstavne centre. Tu je mogoče najti nekaj večjih trgovskih verig, kot sta Lowes in Regal Cinemas, eno od regij, kjer se nahajata večkranski kinodvorani. Port Dick je tudi dom Samu pivcu.

Vestal: Vestal zaseda ves južni breg reke Susquehanne zahodno od Binghamtona. To je trgovsko središče regij s številnimi velikimi tržnicami, nakupovalnimi središči in večjimi trgovinami, zgrajenimi vzdolž Vestal Parkway. Obstaja tudi veliko težje industrije in čistilna naprava, ki se nahaja vzdolž Old Vestal Rd. Stanovanjska območja višjega razreda so zgrajena vzdolž pobočij in hribov na jugu. V zahodnem delu Vestala, znanem pod imenom "Štirje koti", se nahajajo šole Vestal (uvrščene med najvišje v državi) in so bolj majhne narave, z majhnimi trgovinami ob Front St in soseskami srednjega razreda. Parkway je najbolj prometna cesta na območju in se mu je najbolje izogniti, razen če imate razlog, da ste tam.

Zahodni koti: Nahaja se severno od Endicotta vzdolž Rt 26, to se na splošno šteje za najbolj oddaljen zahod v regiji Greater Binghamton. Obstaja majhna nakupovalna plaza, obdana s stanovanjskimi območji. West Corners je znan samo po tem, da je dom nacionalno priznane Phil's Chicken House.

Binghamton ima vlažno celinsko podnebje s 4 različnimi letnimi časi in je dobro znano po svojem mračnem vremenu. V sončnih dneh je običajno slišati pripombe domačinov o absurdnosti sončne svetlobe v Binghamtonu: "Kaj je to noro rumeno kroglo in zakaj me tako bolijo oči?" To se ne zgodi pogosto, čeprav upoštevamo, da je Binghamton v povprečju le 52 sončnih dni v letu. Binghamton slovi tudi kot eno najbolj deževnih mest v Ameriki. Ne, na leto dobi le približno 36 centimetrov dežja (90 cm), v povprečju pa je 161 dni padavin, zato se to zagotovo zdi.

Pomlad vreme v Binghamtonu je pogosto zelo neurejeno, še posebej zgodaj. Snežne nevihte konec aprila, čeprav nenavadne, niso nezaslišane. Pogosto pred snegom ali toplim vremenom ... včasih isti dan! Spomladanske poplave so pogoste in reke so pogosto povišane skozi celo sezono, saj se najprej topi sneg in nato prihaja močan dež. Deževni dnevi niso nič pogostejši kot preostanek leta, vendar so pogosto močnejši. Ko pa je konec neurejenega vremena marca in aprila, je vreme pogosto fantastično s toplimi, prijetnimi dnevi in ​​vonj neštetih spomladanskih cvetov napolni zrak.

Poletje na splošno ni preveč vroče, temperature so pogosto med 27-30 ° C in od 80 do 30 ° C. Vendar so ponavadi zelo vlažni, pogosto zatirajoči in jih je najbolje opisati kot "močvirnate". Vlaga je običajno slabša avgusta in popoldne, ko so temperature najvišje. Pogosto bo vlaga ostala povišana več dni, ne da bi se odmorila, pogosto pa se ponoči poslabša, spanje pa postane neprijetno brez klimatske naprave. V teh dneh po mestu patruljirajo roji ogromnih komarjev, za katere je znano, da odnašajo mačke in majhne pse.

padec je lahko ena najlepših sezon v Binghamtonu in ne samo za kulise. Vlaga se običajno zlomi sredi septembra in temperature bodo običajno ostale prijetno tople vse do sneženja ... običajno na noč čarovnic.

Zima ponavadi je hladno, zasneženo in nepredvidljivo. Nekatera leta se ponavljajo cikli zamrzovanja / odtaljevanja, ki zapustijo mesto pokrito z debelo plastjo trdega snega in ledu. V drugih letih začne snežiti in se nikoli ne ustavi, vsaka nova nevihta pa spodaj sneži sneg v debelo plast trdega snega in ledu. Vidite trend tukaj? Mesto je na odlični lokaciji, da lahko izkoristite oba snežna jezera z Velikih jezer in Nor'Easters, ki prihajajo z Atlantika (Nor'Easter je kot orkan, le da sneg namesto dežja). Vendar pa je oddaljenost mesta od Jezer in pregrade, ki jo tvorijo Apalaške gore, običajno omejena na le meter ali dva naenkrat. Oddelek za javna dela sicer dobro opravlja avtoceste, vendar je na mestnih ulicah opravil grozno delo, saj nekatere ulice sploh niso preorane šele nekaj dni po tem, ko je neurje minilo.

Vstopi

Zemljevid Binghamtona

Z letalom

Letališče BGM ni na voljo z množičnim prevozom. Možnosti kopenskega prevoza vključujejo:

  • Izposoja avtomobilov na mestu pri Avis, Budget in Hertz.
  • Najem avtomobila izven kraja je na voljo pri podjetju Enterprise. Ponujajo dodatne storitve prevzema in odvoza, če let prispe ali odleti v običajnem delovnem času.
  • Zunaj terminala so na voljo licencirani taksiji, ki vas za 25 USD pripeljejo kamor koli v okrožje Broome. Dobro je, da pokličete takoj, ko vaš let pristane, čeprav so v času konic prihoda kabine morda že postavljene zunaj.

Najbližja večja letališča so Mednarodno letališče Syracuse-HancockSYR IATA, približno 110 km severno od Binghamtona in mednarodnega letališča Albany ALB IATA, 153 km severovzhodno. Če prihajate izven vzhodne obale, boste morda našli na teh letališčih boljši nabor letov, skupaj z bolj konkurenčnimi cenami zaradi prisotnosti nizkocenovnih prevoznikov. Poleg širšega obsega linijskih in regionalnih storitev za American, Delta in United, Syracuse opravljata tudi Allegiant in JetBlue, Albany pa Southwest Airlines. Druga možnost je letenje v enega od treh New York City letališčih (Newark, JFK, ali LaGuardia) in dosežete Binghamton s pogostimi avtobusnimi prevozi iz pristaniške uprave (glejte spodaj) - to je morda najboljša možnost, če prispete z zahodne obale ali iz tujine.

Druga možnost je letenje v Elmira, kar je približno uro vožnje (približno 67 milj). Vstopnice so ponavadi nekoliko cenejše in imajo na voljo več možnosti kot neposredni leti v in izven BGM.

Z avtobusom

Medkrajevni avtobusni prevoz je na voljo z avtobusnega terminala Binghamton v središču mesta ob BC Junction (vozlišče za lokalni avtobusni prevoz).

New York City

  • Hrt / steze: Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, New York (pristaniška uprava)
  • Trener ZDA : Monticello, Newark NJ, New York (pristaniška uprava)
  • Megabus prodaja karte na svoji spletni strani med Manhattnom in Binghamtonom. Megabus ne vozi dvonadstropnih avtobusov do Binghamtona; te vozovnice so znižane cene predplačil za obstoječe storitve od / do pristaniške uprave na avtobusu ZDA (ki je lastnik Megabusa). Vstopnice, kupljene prek Megabusa, veljajo samo ob določenem datumu in uri. Če ne rezervirate nočnega odhoda ali več tednov vnaprej, cena vozovnice za Megabus morda ni toliko manjša (in občasno je dejansko višja!). Če niste prepričani o datumih in urah potovanja, razmislite o nakupu standardne vozovnice neposredno pri avtobusu ZDA - veljajo za kateri koli avtobus v roku 30 dni (enosmerno) ali 90 dni (povratno potovanje) od nakupa. Vstopnice na Manhattan ali z njega lahko kupite le prek Megabusa, vstopnice za druge cilje ameriškega trenerja (Ithaca, Monticello itd.) Morate kupiti na avtobusni postaji.

Z vlakom

Najbližja postaja Amtrak je oddaljena 105 km Sirakuza, ki ga vozijo vlaki Empire Corridor / Maple Leaf in Lakeshore Limited. Medtem ko se lahko vozite z vlakom do Syracuse in avtobusom do Binghamtona, razen če ne prispete zahodno od Buffalo ponavadi je ceneje in hitreje vzeti avtobus neposredno. New York City dobro nudijo Greyhound / Trailways in CoachUSA (glej zgoraj).

Z avtom

Tri avtoceste služijo območju Binghamton.

Obiti

BC Transit avtobusi v kampusu univerze Binghamton

Javni prevoz

Javni prevoz v Greater Binghamtonu in obrobnih predelih nudi BC Transit, služba Oddelek za promet okrožja Broome. Avtobusi vozijo med delavniki približno med 6. in 21. uro, soboto od 7. do 18. ure in ob nedeljah od 9.30 do 17. ure. Nekatere proge med vikendi ne obratujejo, ob praznikih je storitev morda omejena ali začasno ustavljena. Denarne cene znašajo 2 USD na vožnjo (na zahtevo vključuje eno vozovnico). Če se boste z avtobusom vozili več kot dvakrat v enem dnevu, lahko voznika za 5 USD kupite neomejeno dnevno vozovnico. Tedenske (25 USD) in mesečne (70 USD) vozovnice so na voljo tudi v pisarni BC Transit (na križišču) ali lokacijah Weis Market v okrožju Broome.

Možnosti tranzita niso omejene na lokalne avtobuse s fiksnimi progami. BC Country zagotavlja prevoz na oddaljenih območjih, vendar se mora za to dogovoriti vnaprej.

Taksi

Taksijev je v mestu veliko, v času, ko ni konic, načrtujete klic 20 minut, preden ste pripravljeni na odhod. Rezervacija kabine vnaprej je na splošno nepotrebna in mnogi operaterji v Binghamtonu odsvetujejo to prakso, razen če imate na voljo let ali avtobus.

  • Univerzitetna kabina 1 607-797-5555
  • Rumeni taksi 1 607-722-2322
  • A-1 Vljudnostna kabina 1 607-723-2000
  • Mestna kabina AAA 1 607-722-2422

Obstaja tudi več manjših operaterjev z voznim parkom manj kot pet vozil. BC Junction, letališče, študentska zveza univerze Binghamton in nekateri hoteli v središču mesta imajo taksije, vendar je to prej izjema kot pravilo. Ko je povpraševanje veliko, lahko delite svojo kabino z drugimi potniki (čeprav bodo vozniki prevzeli le dodatne potnike, ki gredo v isti splošni smeri, na splošno pa vas bodo odpeljali v vrstnem redu, po katerem ste bili prevzeti.) Cene ureja okrožje (čeprav se lahko razlikujejo za dolar ali dva, odvisno od operaterja) in uporablja sistem pasov, namesto taksimetra.

  • Osnovna cena se razlikuje glede na operaterja, vendar je običajno 6-8 USD.
  • Cene vozovnic se med potovanjem skozi vsako od šestih povečajo za 1 USD na območje mestna območja:
  • Central City
  • Westside in First Ward
  • Zgornja Front Street
  • Northside in Eastside
  • Južna stran
  • Vzhodni Vestal (do vključno kampusa univerze Binghamton)
Praviloma prestopite v novo cono vsakič, ko prečkate reko, železniške proge ali mestno progo.
  • Zunaj zgoraj opisanega sistemskega območja se cena vozovnice po mestu poveča za 2 USD:
  • Zahodni Vestal (onkraj BU campus)
  • Johnson City
  • Vas Endwell
  • Vas Endicott
  • Podeželske skupnosti (npr. Port Dickinson, Windsor, Kirkwood itd.) Se zaračunajo glede na skupno kilometrino. Dispečerski center vam bo dal vozovnico, preden vas bo voznik prevzel.
  • Izleti do letališča Binghamton, ne glede na izvor, znašajo 25 USD.

V okrožju Broome (ali kjer koli drugje v državi New York, razen Pet okrožij in delih Dolgi otok.)

Kolo

Kolo poti obstajajo, vendar so omejene. Obstaja več ulic z določenimi kolesarskimi stezami in še nekaj z markacijami, ki voznike opozarjajo na možen kolesarski promet. Vendar prevoz koles ni pogost in mnogi vozniki, čeprav niso sovražni, niso prepričani, kako ravnati s kolesarskim prometom.

Avtoceste in ceste

I-81.svg Meddržavni 81

  • I-81 je glavna zvezna avtocesta sever-jug, ki poteka skozi osrednji in jugovzhodni del Velikega Binghamtona. Povezuje Binghamton z Sirakuza na severu in Scranton proti jugu. Medtem ko je promet med prometno konico lahko gost, se na splošno premika s hitrostjo.

I-86.svg Meddržavna 86 /NY-17.svg Državna pot New York 17

  • NY 17 je pomembna pot na tem območju, ki služi kot glavna os potovanja vzhod-zahod v regiji Greater Binghamton. Promet je v prometnih konicah lahko gost, vendar se na splošno brez težav premika s hitrostjo. Pot povezuje Interstate 90 v Ljubljani Erie z Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) v Ljubljani Harriman kot ločena avtocesta in je znana kot Južni nivo Hitra cesta zahodno od Binghamtona.
  • I-86 je nadgradnja obstoječe hitre ceste NY 17 med Erie in Harrimanom. Od leta 2014 je meddržavna oznaka nepopolna, oddelek od Elmira do Erie in odsek vzhodno od Binghamtona, označen z I-86.

I-88.svg Meddržavna 88

  • Hitra cesta senator Warren M. Anderson / hitra cesta Susquehanna. To je neposredna povezava od Binghamtona do Schenectady, s povezavami do New York State Thruway (I-87 / I-90), ki omogoča dostop do Albany.

ZDA 11.svg Ameriška pot 11

  • ZDA 11 vzporedno z I-81 na večini poti, tudi skozi Binghamton. Tako kot I-81 je tudi US 11 smer sever-jug skozi osrednji in jugovzhodni del mesta. Vendar pa ZDA 11 gre naravnost skozi mesto in ne gre okoli njega. ZDA 11 sledi Court St skozi središče mesta, nato pa po prečkanju mostu Court St zavije proti severu na Front St.

NY-7.svg Državna pot New York 7

  • Vzporednice ZDA 11 na južnem bregu reke Susquehanna od Pensilvanija meje, dokler pri mostu Tompkins St ne zavije proti severu. Conklin Ave teče večino svoje dolžine hkrati z NY 7. Znana je kot avtocesta Brandywine od mostu Tompkins St, dokler ne prečka I-88 (kar je vzporedno z Schenectady).

NY-12.svg Državna pot New York 12

  • Začne se v regiji Greater Binghamton in se razlikuje od ZDA 11 severno od Port Dickinsona. NY 12 povezuje Binghamton z Utica. Upper Front St se nadaljuje po NY 12 miljo ali dve severno. NY 12A se od tu razlikuje do skupnosti mostu Chenango.

NY-17C.svg Državna pot New York 17C

  • NY 17C potuje od zahoda proti vzhodu v Greater Binghamton Owegoin je v večini skupnosti, skozi katere gre, znan kot Main St. Konča se na Front St v Binghamtonu, vendar se pot nadaljuje kot Court St (US 11) v središče mesta.

NY-26.svg Državna pot New York 26

  • Glavna pot sever-jug na zahodnem koncu širše regije Binghamton. Začne se ob Pensilvanija meja na jugu Vestala in potuje proti severu do Endicotta, West Cornerjev, Whitney Pointa in naprej.

NY-201.svg Državna pot New York 201

  • Kratka avtocesta sever-jug med obema glavnima nakupovalnima okrožjema, ki povezuje Harry L Drive Johnson City (vključno z nakupovalnim centrom Oakdale) in Vestal Parkway z I-86 / NY 17 in NY 17C. To je eden najpogosteje prevoženih mostov čez reko Susquehanna, promet pa se lahko ob prometnih konicah občasno ustavi na južnih pasovih.

  • Na splošno se imenuje Vestal Parkway med mestno črto Binghamton in Okrožje Tioga meje se po tej cesti močno vozi in se ji je najbolje izogniti, kadar je le mogoče. Odsek med Bunn Hill Rd in African Rd je v glavnem dom številnih plaz in trakastih nakupovalnih središč ter je ves dan zelo obremenjen.

Pomembne lokalne ceste

  • Ulica Chenango Glavna prometnica skozi Binghamton / Port Dickinson / Hillcrest na vzhodnem bregu reke Chenango.
  • Clinton Street Glavna prometnica skozi prvi oddelek v Binghamtonu. Domov do Antique Row.
  • Conklin Ave Glavna prometnica skozi Binghamton / Conklin na južnem bregu reke Susquehanna.
  • Court Street Glavna prometnica skozi Binghamton vzhodno od reke Chenango.
  • Cvetlični ave Večinoma stanovanjski. Povezuje glavno ulico v Binghamtonu s prometnim krogom.
  • Sprednja ulica Glavna prometnica skozi Binghamton / Port Dickinson na zahodnem bregu reke Chenango.
  • Hooper Road Glavna prometnica skozi Endwell.
  • Glavna ulica Nekoč je bila glavna povezovalna cesta trojnih mest (Binghamton, Endicott in Johnson City) in je služila kot komercialno srce vsakega. Veliko edinstvenih majhnih trgovin je še vedno mogoče najti v vsakem od njihovih nakupovalnih okolišev.
  • Stara vestalna cesta Nekoč je bila glavna prometnica vzhod / zahod skozi Vestal. Zdaj služi kot alternativa Vestal Parkway, vendar lahko postane preobremenjen z drugimi ljudmi, ki želijo storiti enako.

Druge lokacije

Zračna fotografija zloglasne krivulje Kamikaze
  • Johnson City Traffic Circle V Johnson City, povezuje Floral Ave, Riverside Drive in NY 201.
  • Kamikaze krivulja Izmenjevalnica I-81 / NY 17. Ta nevarna izmenjava je različica običajne oblike Directional-T, pri čemer je izmenjava zgrajena kot tristopenjski križišče neposredno nad reko Chenango. Nevarnost večinoma prihaja iz ostre krivine, ki jo NY 17 zavije okoli gore Prospect neposredno pred / po izmenjavi. V vseh smereh je malo opozoril o tem, kako ostra je krivulja, in ko se I-81 seka na krivulji, je težko združiti. Da bi položaj še bolj zakompliciral, je vozlišče na dnu hriba, okrog zelo tesnega bankinskega vogala. V okviru nadgradnje New Yorka 17 na I-86 potekajoče gradnje delajo na odpravi situacije s premikanjem točk spajanja vozlišč in rekonfiguracijo več izhodov na območju. Projekt naj bi bil končan leta 2019.

Parkirišče

  • Na večini mestnih ulic v središču mesta je na voljo omejeno parkirišče in nekaj ulic na obeh straneh glavne ulice na zahodni strani - četrt vam prinese 15 minut parkiranja, največ meter, ki ga lahko naenkrat zadrži, pa sta dve uri . Ulično parkiranje je od ponedeljka do petka in ob koncu tedna ves dan po 18. uri brezplačno. Upoštevajte, da so nekateri prostori na Court Streetu nagnjeni glede na robnik in ker znaki jasno nakazujejo, morate nazaj vaše vozilo. Nepravilno parkirajte in vi volja po vozovnico.
  • Garaže so na voljo tudi na državni ulici v bližini mestne hiše in sodišča, Exchange Street nasproti BC Junction in Water Street za veleblagovnico Boscovs. Plačljivi sklopi obstajajo na ulici Stuart blizu Holiday Inna in za Metrocentrom. Garaže zaračunavajo po urah, plačani sklopi pavšalno plačujejo ves dan, pristojbine pa se zbirajo 24 ur na dan.
  • Parkiranje je brezplačno na drugih mestnih ulicah v stanovanjskih naseljih. Upoštevajte, da mesto od decembra do aprila zahteva nadomestno stransko parkirišče za pomoč pri odstranjevanju snega. Po 17. uri ne pozabite park za jutri, kar pomeni, če je naslednji dan parni dan (2., 4., 6., itd. v mesecu) parkiramo na sodo stran ulice, podobno, če bo jutri neparen dan (1., 3., 5. itd. mesec), parkirajte na čudni strani ulice po 17. uri. Čez noč parkirajte na napačni strani in končali boste z vstopnico. Upoštevajte, da pravilo o nadomestni strani še vedno velja, tudi če je na eni strani ulice označeno "brez parkiranja" (razen če ima blok znak, ki označuje izjemo.) Pred 17. uro naj bi vozila parkirala ob strani ulice. ulica, ki ustreza datumu tega dne, čeprav se v praksi to ne izvaja, razen če sneži in plugi niso zunaj. Od maja do novembra lahko parkirate na obeh straneh ulice, pod pogojem, da na njej ni oznake "brez parkiranja".
  • Univerza Binghamton deluje na celotnem sistemu dovoljenj v kampusu. Lahko kupite vozovnico za parkiranje obiskovalcev za 6 USD iz informacijske kabine, parkirate v merjenem prostoru (en komplet je v bližini knjižnice, drugi ob upravni stavbi) ali garažo v bližini likovne umetnosti za 1 USD na uro. Med tednom je med šolanjem pouka težko najti parkirišče, univerza pa študente izven kampusa spodbuja, da uporabljajo prevoz ali hodijo.
  • Zakon države New York dovoljuje policiji, da izda parkirno vozovnico, če je nalepka za pregled na vašem vozilu zastarela. V Binghamtonu obstaja večja verjetnost, da vas bodo zaradi tega navajali, tudi če ni prišlo do nobene druge kršitve parkiranja. Vedno morate voziti s trenutno nalepko za pregled, vendar se izogibajte uličnemu parkiranju in držite garaž, zasebnih parcel in dovozov, če je vašemu potekel rok uporabe.
  • Kazni za parkiranje v Binghamtonu so drage tudi po zveznih državah New Yorka. Večina manjših kršitev (npr. Čezmerni števec, pozimi parkiran na napačni strani) znaša 70 USD, če pa vozovnico plačate v dveh delovnih dneh, bodisi osebno v mestni hiši, prek spleta ali po pošti (mesto uporablja poštni žig, določi plačila), se globa zniža za 50%. To ne velja za hujše kršitve, kot je blokada požarnega hidranta ali uporaba prostora za invalide brez ustreznega dovoljenja.

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.

Team Trivia on Mondays, Open Mike or Karaoke on Tuesday, and live music Wednesday-Saturday evenings and occasionally Sunday afternoons.

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).

Japonski

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.)

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 lahko 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. 

Spi

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.

Nauči se

  • Univerza 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 povezava] (prej Broome County Community College) is a two-year community college offering associate degrees and certificate programs. Broome also has an attrition agreement with Binghamton University: students who complete an associate degree with at least a 3.0 GPA are guaranteed transfer admission to a BU bachelor's program with all credits eligible for transfer.
  • Davis College is a Pentecostal Bible college and seminary.
  • Additionally, for-profit career colleges Ridley Lowell[mrtva povezava] in Elmira Business Institute both have satellite campuses in Binghamton.

Delo

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.
