Binghamton - Binghamton

Binghamton is 'n stad in die deelstaat New York, by die samevloeiing van die Susquehanna- en Chenango-rivier. Dit is die kulturele en finansiële sentrum van die Greater Binghamton Metropolitan Area en is die setel van Broome County. Binghamton is deel van die "Triple Cities" met Endicott en Johnson City.

Binghamton het baie fantastiese voorbeelde van Romaanse herlewingsargitektuur in die middestad; hiervoor en vir die versameling van versierde herehuise en mooi huise, staan ​​dit bekend as die Parlour City. Die Binghamton-gebied staan ​​ook bekend as die Carousel Capital of America, die tuiste van 6 van die oorblywende 150 antieke karusse in die land. Ander historiese besienswaardighede is die Roberson Museum, Kopernik Space Center en die Ross Park Zoo.

Rod Serling, die draaiboekskrywer en televisievervaardiger, is hier gebore, en die plaaslike toebroodjie bekend as die "spiedie" is hier geskep. Hulle word onderskeidelik op die jaarlikse Rod Serling Video Fest en die Spiedie Fest en Balloon Rally gevier. Ten spyte van Binghamton se ligging as die stedelike kern van die streek, word dit al jare lank deur die National Arbor Day Foundation as 'n boomstad benoem en word dit deur Better Homes and Gardens as die 9de beste Green City aangewys. Die stad het ook internasionale erkenning verwerf as finalis vir die Philips Livable Cities-toekenning vir sy Ontwerp jou eie park-program.

Vestal is 'n tuiste van die Staatsuniversiteit van New York in Binghamton (Binghamton Universiteit), wat optree as 'n atletiese, akademiese en kulturele sentrum vir die stad.

Die stad Binghamton is in sewe buurte verdeel.

Middestad: Dit is die streek se administratiewe, sake-, vermaak- en vervoersentrum. Dit is geleë aan die samevloeiing van die Susquehanna- en Chenango-rivier suid van die Norfolk-suidspoor en wes van die Brandywine-snelweg. Oor die algemeen word die stad gekenmerk deur kommersiële eiendomme en verskeie hoë woonstelle in die rigting van die riviere met 'n laer klas enkel- en meervoudige wonings na die snelweg. Daar is verskeie gebiede van stedelike roes, veral langs die Brandywine-industriële ruggraat.

Binghamton se middestad is opmerklik vir sy argitektuur en is die tuiste van die historiese distrik Court Street. Hierdie distrik bevat baie historiese geboue (89 in totaal) vanaf die begin van die vorige eeu, waarvan die Persgebou en die Veiligheidsgebou die belangrikste is. Hier is ook 'n aantal geboue in die National Register van die beroemde argitek Isaac G Perry geleë, waaronder die Perry Block, die Broome County Courthouse en die Phelps Mansion.

Westelike kant: Geleë oorkant die Chenango-rivier vanaf die middestad. Hierdie gebied is hoofsaaklik residensieel en die karakter wissel van stedelik tot voorstedelik. Oor die algemeen word die gebied tussen Seminarylaan en die Susquehannarivier bewoon deur middel- tot hoërklasinwoners, terwyl die gebied noord van Seminarylaan tot die eerste wyk bewoon word deur werkersklasbewoners en studente van die naburige kolleges. Daar is 'n kommersiële gang langs Main St met meestal ligte kommersiële fasiliteite en 'n paar groot pleine. Die Hoërskool Binghamton, die ligging van die Helen Foley-teater, is hier geleë, net oorkant die Court St-brug vanaf die middestad. Lourdes-hospitaal kan ook hier gevind word.

Ten spyte van die residensiële karakter is daar 'n aantal historiese en argitektoniese beduidende geboue aan die Westside. Die Roberson Museum, die generaal Edward F. Jones-huis en die Abel Bennett-traktaat kan hier gevind word.

Suidekant: Die Southside verwys na die gebied suid van die Susquehannarivier. Dit wissel van hoërklashuise in die westelike en suidelike deel tot meestal middelklas oral anders. Daar is 'n klein kommersiële sentrum aan die suidelike punt van die S Washington St-brug, met 'n verskeidenheid ligte handels- en restaurante, en is ook die tuiste van die Binghamton General Hospital. Meer ligte kommersiële en 'n bietjie ligte industriële kan gevind word langs dele van Conklin Ave, met meer industrie hoe verder oos 'n mens reis.

Die Southside is ook die tuiste van die Ross Park Zoo en die Discovery Centre.

Oostelike kant: Die oostkant lê oos van die middestad langs die noordoewer van die Susquehanna-rivier. Dit word meestal gekenmerk deur die Brandywine Industrial Spine, 'n streek van swaar nywerheid en stedelike roes wat dit van die res van die stad skei. Daarbenewens is die woonbuurt grotendeels 'n werkersklas, met verskillende winkels en restaurante wat op Robinson St. Rt 11, of Upper Court St, soos dit bekend is sodra dit onder die Brandywine gaan, gekonsentreer is, meer kommersieel van aard is, met verskeie strookwinkels en die tuiste van die meeste van die streek se winkels vir volwassenes.

Die oorspronklike Dick's Sporting Goods-winkel is nog hier in werking, dit kan gevind word op Upper Court St 'n bietjie verby die Heilsleër. Die gebied is ook die tuiste van die New York State Inebriate Asylum, die eerste geestesgesondheidsinstelling wat alkoholisme as 'n siekte behandel. Dit is ook ontwerp deur Isaac Perry en is in die Staats- en Nasionale historiese registers gelys.

Noordkant: Die Northside is net noord van die middestad regoor die Norfolk Southern-spoorlyne. Dit word gekenmerk deur groot dele van kommersiële aktiwiteite net noord van die middestad en langs die Chenango-straat. Die res van die omgewing is residensiële, meestal werkers enkel-gesinshuise.

Eerste wyk: The First Ward is grotendeels 'n woonbuurt. Dit beslaan die gebied wes van die Chenango-rivier tussen die Norfolk-suidelike spore I86 / Rt 17. Daar is verskeie noemenswaardige Victoriaanse styl herehuise langs die voorstraat wat omskep is in meerdere gesinswonings, maar verder is die First Ward meestal bekend vir Antieke Row, geleë langs Clinton St. Baie dele van hierdie straat is skroeiend, veral in die rigting van Front St, maar wat oorbly, is in talle antieke winkels verander. Die Tri-Cities Opera is ook op Clinton St.

Ely Park: Ely Park is die gebied wes van die Chenangorivier en noord van I86 / Rt 17. Dit is gewoonlik residensieel en is veral bekend vir die munisipale gholfbaan en die gelyknamige behuisingsprojek wat hier deur die regering gesubsidieer word.

Groter Binghamton

Terwyl die Binghamton Metropolitan Statistiese gebied alle Broome- en Tioga-provinsies insluit, is die gebied wat Groter Binghamton genoem word, baie minder omskryf. Oor die algemeen verwys dit na die groter streek van die stad rondom Binghamton, vanaf Kirkwood in die ooste tot Endicott in die weste en bevat die volgende lys van dorpe en dorpe. Die meeste van hierdie gemeenskappe word as klein voorstede of slaapkamergemeenskappe met 'n paar duisend inwoners beskou, maar daar is 'n buitengewone hoë vlak van integrasie tussen hulle, soveel so dat die meeste buitestaanders nie sal besef dat hulle 'n munisipale grens oorgesteek het nie. Baie inboorlinge sal selfs sukkel om te onderskei waar een gemeenskap eindig en 'n ander begin. Hierdie gemeenskappe is slegs betekenisvol in die streek, want die hele gebied staan ​​bekend as 'Binghamton' na buite.

Chenango-brug: Dit is 'n klein voorstad van Binghamton, en is die verste noordekant van die Chenango-rivier. Dit is opmerklik vir die Rt 12A-brug oor die rivier.

Conklin: Geleë net oos van Binghamton langs die Susquehanna-rivier. Sy nywerheidspark is die tuiste van verskeie groot werkgewers in die omgewing, waaronder L-3 Communications, Universal Instruments en Frito Lay. Daar is 'n klein kasteel wat in 1900 deur Alpheus Corby as 'n woning gebou is. Dit bevat verskeie stadskantore.

Endwell: 'N In die algemeen luukse woonbuurt tussen Endicott en Johnson City en oorkant die Susquehanna vanaf Vestal. Dit is die tuiste van Highland Park en sy bekende vuurwerkvertoning op vier Julie, en verskeie gholfbane en die IBM Glen. Tradisies by die Glen Spa and Resort kan hier gevind word.

Endicott

Hillcrest: Geleë noord van Binghamton op die oostelike oewer van die Chenango-rivier; dit is tussen Port Dickinson en Chenango Bridge. Dit is 'n klein woonbuurt.

Johnson City: Johnson City is deel van die 'Triple Cities' (hoewel dit weer net 'n dorp is) en is een van die belangrikste gemeenskappe in die streek. Die dorpie grens onmiddellik en kan nie van Binghamton se westekant onderskei word nie. Die Oakdale Mall, een van die belangrikste winkelsentrums in die streek, is hier te vinde, asook die Endicott-Johnson Industrial Spine, 'n gebied van 230 ha (92 ha) met industriële ruïnes wat stadig herleef. Daar is baie klein winkels langs Main St in die sentrum van Johnson City.

Port Dickinson: Geleë noord van Binghamton aan die oorkant van die rivier vanaf Hillcrest. Broome Community College is hier te vinde, asook Otseningo Park: die tuiste van die Spedie Fest en Balloon Rally. Port Dickinson (Port Dick) is hoofsaaklik woonagtig in die onmiddellike omgewing van BCC, maar verder noord is die kommersiële distrik Upper Front Street. Dit is 'n kleiner weergawe van die 'Parkway' in Vestal en bevat baie winkels, restaurante, plazas en strookwinkels. 'N Paar van die groter kettingwinkels is hier te vinde, soos Lowes en Regal Cinemas, een van die twee bioskoopteaters wat op verskeie skerms geleë is. Port Dick is ook die tuiste van Sam the Beer Man.

Vestal: Vestal beslaan die hele suidelike oewer van die Susquehanna-rivier wes van Binghamton. Dit is die streeks kommersiële sentrum, met baie groot pleine, strook winkelsentrums, winkelsentrums, en die meeste van die streke is groot bokswinkels gebou langs die Vestal Parkway. Daar is ook baie swaarder nywerhede en 'n rioolsuiweringsaanleg langs Old Vestal Rd. Bo-klas woongebiede word langs die heuwels en heuweltoppe in die suide gebou. Die westelike deel van Vestal, bekend as 'Four Corners', is die tuiste van die Vestal-skole (onder die hoogste in die land) en het 'n klein dorpie-karakter met klein winkels langs Front St en middelklasbuurte. Die Parkway is die besigste rybaan in die gebied en word die beste vermy, tensy u die rede het om daar te wees.

West Corners: Dit is net noord van Endicott langs Rt 26 en word gewoonlik beskou as die verste westelike deel van die Groter Binghamton-streek. Daar is 'n klein winkelplein omring deur woongebiede. West Corners is slegs opmerklik omdat dit die tuiste is van die nasionaal erkende Phil's Chicken House.

Binghamton het 'n vogtige kontinentale klimaat met 4 verskillende seisoene en is bekend vir sy somber weer. Op sonnige dae is dit algemeen om plaaslike inwoners te hoor opmerk oor die absurde sonlig in Binghamton: "Wat is hierdie mal geel bol en waarom maak dit my oë so seer?" Dit gebeur nie gereeld nie, maar as ons ag neem dat Binghamton gemiddeld net 52 sonnige dae per jaar het. Binghamton het ook 'n reputasie as een van die reënigste stede in Amerika. Dit is nie, dit word net ongeveer 90 sentimeter reën per jaar, maar dit is gemiddeld 161 dae neerslag, sodat dit beslis kan lyk.

Lente weer in Binghamton is veral baie vroeg baie onrustig. Sneeustorms aan die einde van April, hoewel ongewoon, is nie ongehoord nie. Soms word sneeu voorafgegaan of gevolg deur warm weer ... soms op dieselfde dag! Lente-oorstromings kom algemeen voor en die riviere word dikwels deur die hele seisoen verhef namate die sneeu eers smelt en dan swaar reën kom. Reëndae kom nie meer voor as die res van die jaar nie, maar is dikwels swaarder. Sodra die onrustige weer van Maart en April verby is, is die weer dikwels fantasties met warm, aangename dae en die geur van magdom lenteblomme vul die lug.

Somer is gewoonlik nie te warm nie, met temperature wat dikwels tussen 27 en 30 ° C laag is tot middel 80s. Hulle is egter baie vogtig, dikwels onderdrukkend, en word die beste beskryf as 'moerasagtig'. Die vogtigheid is gewoonlik slegter in Augustus en in die middag wanneer die hoogste temperatuur is. Dikwels bly die humiditeit dae lank sonder onderbreking verhoog, en word dit snags vererger, wat slaap ongemaklik maak sonder lugversorging. Swerms enorme muggies patrolleer deesdae in die stad en dit is bekend dat hulle katte en klein honde wegdra.

Val kan een van die mooiste seisoene in Binghamton wees en nie net vir die natuurskoon nie. Die humiditeit breek gewoonlik middel September aan en die temperatuur sal gewoonlik aangenaam warm bly totdat dit sneeu ... gewoonlik op Halloween.

Winter is geneig om koud, sneeuagtig en onvoorspelbaar te wees. Sommige jare is onderhewig aan herhaalde vries- / ontdooisiklusse wat die stad bedek laat in 'n dik laag hardverpakte sneeu en ys. Ander jare begin dit sneeu en hou dit nooit op nie, en elke nuwe storm pak die sneeu onder in 'n dik laag hardgepakte sneeu en ys. Sien u die neiging hier? Die stad is perfek geleë om voordeel te trek uit die sneeu langs die Groot Mere en Nor'Easters wat van die Atlantiese Oseaan af kom ('n Nor'Easter is soos 'n orkaan, net met sneeu in plaas van reën). Die stad se afstand vanaf die mere en die versperring wat deur die Appalachian-berge gevorm word, is egter geneig om dit slegs tot 'n voet of twee per keer te beperk. Die departement van openbare werke doen 'n aanvaarbare werk om die snelweë oop te hou, maar het 'n verskriklike werk in stadstrate gedoen, en sommige strate word glad nie geploeg tot dae nadat die storm verby is nie.

Kaart van Binghamton

Met die vliegtuig

Die BGM-lughawe word nie met massatransit bedien nie. Grondvervoeropsies sluit in:

  • Motorhuur op die perseel van Avis, Budget en Hertz.
  • Motorhuur buite die perseel is beskikbaar by Enterprise. Hulle bied aanvullende op- en aflaai-diens as u vlug arriveer of vertrek gedurende normale besigheidsure.
  • Gelisensieerde taxi's is buite die terminale beskikbaar en sal u vir $ 25 enige plek in Broome County neem. Dit is 'n goeie idee om te skakel sodra u vlug land, alhoewel die taxi's in die spitstyd reeds buite staan.

Die naaste groter lughawens is Syracuse-Hancock Internasionale LughaweSYR IATA, ongeveer 110 km noord van Binghamton en die internasionale lughawe Albany ALB IATA, 153 km noordoos. As u van buite die Ooskus afkomstig is, kan u vind dat hierdie lughawens 'n beter verskeidenheid vliegopsies het, tesame met meer mededingende tariewe weens die teenwoordigheid van goedkoop vervoer. Behalwe 'n wyer reeks hooflyne en streeksdienste in Amerika, Delta en United, word Syracuse ook deur Allegiant en JetBlue bedien, terwyl Albany deur Southwest Airlines bedien word. Nog 'n alternatief is om in een van die drie in te vlieg New York Stad lughawens (Newark, JFK, of LaGuardia) en bereik Binghamton via gereelde busdienste vanaf die hawe-owerheid (sien hieronder) - dit is miskien die beste opsie as u van die Weskus of in die buiteland aankom.

Nog 'n opsie is om in te vlieg Elmira, wat ongeveer 'n uur ry (ongeveer 67 myl) ry. Kaartjies is gewoonlik 'n bietjie goedkoper en daar is meer opsies beskikbaar as direkte vlugte binne en buite BGM.

Met die bus

Kaartjies wat deur Megabus gekoop word, is slegs op 'n spesifieke datum en tyd geldig. Tensy u 'n oornag vertrek of 'n paar weke vooruit bespreek, is die Megabus-tarief miskien nie soveel minder nie (en is dit soms hoër!) As u nie seker is oor u reisdatums en -tye nie, kan u dit oorweeg om 'n standaardkaartjie direk te koop. vanaf Coach USA - hulle is binne 30 dae (eenrigting) of 90 dae (retoer) na aankoop op enige bus geldig.

Die naaste Amtrak-stasie is 105 km vanaf Syracuse, bedien deur Empire Corridor / Maple Leaf-treine en die Lakeshore Limited. Dit is wel moontlik om 'n trein na Syracuse te neem en 'n bus na Binghamton, tensy u van die weste van Buffels dit is gewoonlik goedkoper en vinniger om 'n bus direk te neem. New York City word goed bedien deur Greyhound / Trailways en CoachUSA (sien hierbo).

Kry rond

BC Transit-busse op die Binghamton Universiteit-kampus

Openbare vervoer

Openbare vervoer in Greater Binghamton en afgeleë gebiede word bedien deur BC Transit, 'n diens van die Broome County Departement van Vervoer. Busse ry weeksdae ongeveer 06:00 tot 21:00, Saterdae tussen 07:00 en 18:00 en Sondae van 09:30 tot 17:00. Sommige roetes werk nie oor naweke nie, maar die diens kan beperk word of op openbare vakansiedae opgeskort word. Kontantpryse beloop $ 2 per rit (sluit een transmissiekaartjie in, indien versoek). As u meer as twee keer op een dag met die bus ry, kan u 'n onbeperkte dagkaart vir $ 5 by die bestuurder koop. Weeklikse ($ 25) en maandelikse ($ 70) passe is ook beskikbaar by die BC Transit-kantoor (by die aansluiting) of by Weis Market in Broome County.

Vervoeropsies is nie net beperk tot die plaaslike vaste roetebusse nie. BC Country bied vervoer in afgeleë gebiede, maar moet vooraf gereël word.

Taxi

Huurmotors is volop in die stad, terwyl u nie die spitstyd beplan nie, moet u 20 minute bel voordat u gereed is om te vertrek. Om vooraf 'n taxi te bespreek, is oor die algemeen onnodig, en baie bestuurders in Binghamton ontmoedig hierdie praktyk, tensy u 'n vlug of bus het om te ry.

  • Universiteitskajuit 1 607-797-5555
  • Geel taxi 1 607-722-2322
  • A-1 Courtesy Cab 1 607-723-2000
  • AAA City Cab 1 607-722-2422

Daar is ook verskeie kleiner ondernemings met vloot van minder as vyf voertuie. BC Junction, die lughawe, die Binghamton Universiteit-studentevereniging en sommige hotelle in die middestad het taxi-staanplekke, maar dit is die uitsondering eerder as die reël. U sal dalk u taxi met ander passasiers deel as die vraag hoog is (alhoewel bestuurders slegs ekstra passasiers sal oplaai wat in dieselfde algemene rigting gaan, en u sal gewoonlik afgelaai word in die volgorde wat u aflaai). Tariewe word gereguleer deur die land (hoewel dit afhang van die operateur met 'n dollar of twee kan wissel) en gebruik 'n sone-stelsel, eerder as 'n taksimeter.

  • Die basistarief wissel per operateur, maar is gewoonlik $ 6-8.
  • Tariewe styg met $ 1 per sone as u deur elk van die ses reis stadsones:
  • Central City
  • Westside en First Ward
  • Upper Front Street
  • Northside en Eastside
  • Suidekant
  • Oos-Vestal (tot en met die Binghamton Universiteitskampus)
As 'n vuistreël steek jy 'n nuwe sone in elke keer as jy 'n rivier, treinspoor of 'n stadslyn oorsteek.
  • Buite die sone-stelsel hierbo beskryf, verhoog die tarief $ 2 per stad:
  • West Vestal (buite die BU-kampus)
  • Johnson City
  • Dorp Endwell
  • Dorp Endicott
  • Landelike gemeenskappe (bv. Port Dickinson, Windsor, Kirkwood, ens.) Word gehef op grond van die totale kilometers. Die versendingsentrum gee u 'n tarief voordat die bestuurder u kom haal.
  • Reise na die Binghamton-lughawe, ongeag hul oorsprong, kos $ 25.

Daar is geen rydele-diens nie, soos Uber of Lyft wat in Broome County (of op enige plek in die staat New York, behalwe die Vyf distrikte en gedeeltes van Long Island.)

Fiets

Fiets roetes bestaan ​​maar is beperk. Daar is verskeie strate met aangewese fietsbane, en nog 'n paar met merkies om bestuurders te waarsku oor moontlike fietsverkeer. Fietsvervoer is egter nie algemeen nie, en hoewel baie bestuurders nie vyandig is nie, lyk hulle nie seker hoe hulle fietsverkeer moet hanteer nie.

Snelweë en paaie

I-81.svg Interstaat 81

  • I-81 is 'n groot noord-suid-federale snelweg wat deur die sentrale en suidoostelike deel van Groter Binghamton gaan. Dit verbind Binghamton met Syracuse na die noorde en Scranton na die suide. Alhoewel die verkeer gedurende die spitstyd swaar kan wees, beweeg dit gewoonlik vinnig.

I-86.svg Interstaat 86 /NY-17.svg New York-staatsroete 17

  • NY 17 is 'n belangrike roete in die gebied, wat dien as die belangrikste oos-wes-reisas in die Groter Binghamton-streek. Verkeer kan tydens spitstyd swaar wees, maar beweeg gewoonlik vinnig sonder probleme. Die roete verbind Interstate 90 in Erie met Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) in Harriman as 'n verdeelde snelweg, en staan ​​bekend as die Suidelike vlak Snelweg wes van Binghamton.
  • I-86 is 'n opgradering van die bestaande snelweg NY 17 tussen Erie en Harriman. Vanaf 2014 is die interstate-aanwysing onvolledig, met die gedeelte vanaf Elmira na Erie en 'n gedeelte net oos van Binghamton gemerk as I-86.

I-88.svg Interstaat 88

  • Die senator Warren M. Anderson snelweg / Susquehanna snelweg. Dit is 'n direkte skakel vanaf Binghamton na Schenectady, met skakels na die New York State Thruway (I-87 / I-90) wat toegang bied tot Albany.

VS 11.svg Amerikaanse roete 11

  • US 11 is parallel aan I-81 vir die grootste deel van sy roete, ook deur Binghamton. Net soos I-81 is US 11 'n noord-suid-roete deur die sentrale en suidoostelike deel van die stad. US 11 gaan egter dwarsdeur die stad eerder as om dit te omseil. US 11 volg Court St deur die middestad en draai dan noord na Front St na die kruising van die Court St brug.

NY-7.svg New York-staatsroete 7

  • Parallelle US 11 op die suidelike oewer van die Susquehannarivier vanaf die Pennsylvania grens totdat dit noord draai by die Tompkins St-brug. Conklin Ave loop gelyktydig met NY 7 vir 'n groot deel daarvan. Dit staan ​​bekend as die Brandywine Highway vanaf die Tompkins St-brug totdat dit I-88 kruis (wat parallel is met Schenectady).

NY-12.svg New York-staatsroete 12

  • Begin in die Groter Binghamton-streek, afwykend van VS 11 net noord van Port Dickinson. NY 12 verbind Binghamton met Utica. Upper Front St duur 'n kilometer of twee noordwaarts langs NY 12. NY 12A divergeer hiervandaan na die gemeenskap van Chenango Bridge.

NY-17C.svg New York State Route 17C

  • NY 17C ry vanaf Wes na oos na Binghamton Owego, en staan ​​bekend as Main St in die meeste gemeenskappe waardeur dit gaan. Dit eindig by Front St in Binghamton, maar die pad gaan voort as Court St (US 11) na die middestad.

NY-26.svg New York-staatsroete 26

NY-201.svg New York-staatsroete 201

  • 'N Kort noord-suid-snelweg tussen die twee groot winkelsentrums wat Harry L Drive in verbind Johnson City (insluitend die Oakdale Mall) en die Vestal Parkway met I-86 / NY 17 en NY 17C. Dit is een van die brûe wat die swaarste reis oor die Susquehannarivier, en die verkeer kan soms in die spitsure op die suidelike bane tot stilstand kom.

NY-363.svg New York State Route 363

  • Plaaslik bekend as North Shore Drive, dit is 'n kort noord-suid-snelweg met beperkte toegang wat die middestad van Binghamton omseil en NY 434 tot NY 7 en I-81 / NY 17 verbind (afrit 4 S).

NY-434.svg New York-staatsroete 434

  • Word gewoonlik die Vestal Parkway tussen die Binghamton-stadslyn en Tioga County grens, is hierdie pad swaar afgelê en dit word die beste vermy as dit enigsins moontlik is. Die gedeelte tussen Bunn Hill Rd en African Rd is hoofsaaklik die tuiste van talle pleine en strookwinkels, en is baie druk gedurende die dag.

  • Johnson City Traffic Circle In Johnson City, verbind Floral Ave, Riverside Drive en NY 201.
  • Kamikaze Curve Die I-81 / NY 17-wisselaar. Hierdie gevaarlike wisselaar is 'n variant van die normale Directional-T-vorm, met die wisselaar gebou as 'n drie-vlak kruispunt direk oor die Chenango-rivier. Die gevaar kom meestal uit die skerp kurwe wat NY 17 rondom Prospect Mountain maak onmiddellik voor / na die wisselaar. In alle rigtings word daar min gewaarsku oor hoe skerp die kurwe is, en as I-81 op die kurwe kruis, kan dit moeilik wees om saam te smelt. Om die situasie verder te bemoeilik, is die wisselaar aan die onderkant van die heuwel geleë, om 'n baie stywe hoek. As deel van die opgradering van NY 17 na I-86, is voortgesette konstruksie besig om die situasie reg te stel deur die wisselaarsmeltpunte te skuif en verskeie uitgange in die gebied te herkonfigureer. Die projek sal na verwagting in 2019 voltooi wees.

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.

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). Begroting. 
  • Lost Dog Café, 222 Water St (from Court St, follow Water St north two blocks), ☏ 1 607 771-6063. 11:30AM-10PM. This eclectic fusion restaurant serves great and generous dishes.

  • River Muse Café, 7 South Washington St (just of NY 434 in South Bridge neighborhood), ☏ 1 607 235-3122. Delicious, homemade baked goods and fine coffee await you at this South Side gem.

Indian food

  • Curry's of India, 45 Court St # 2. A nice hole-in-the-wall with a very affordable lunch buffet. 
  • Taj Restaurant, 59 Main St. 

Japannees

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.)

  • [dooie skakel]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. Midde-reeks. 
  • 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. Splurge. 
  • Sake-Tumi, 71 Court Street, ☏ 1 607-238-1771. Asian-American fusion with an extensive sushi selection that changes weekly.Mix and match traditional and some interesting but delicious fusion rolls - ever try a roll smoked salmon and pineapple before? How about tuna marinated in spiedie sauce in your sushi? Extensive menu with Japanese and American favorites. A little on the pricey side but they offer dollar sushi on Tuesdays and Thursdays which can bring the price down significantly. Splurge. 

Italiaans

Binghamton has some of the most authentic southern Italian and Sicilian food this side of Italy. Each of these restaurants also serves pizza but the focus is on fine Italian dinning.

  • Cortese Restaurant, 117 Robinson St. 
  • [dooie skakel]Grandes Bella Cucina, 1171 Vestal Ave. 
  • Grotta Azzurra, 52 Main St # 1. 
  • J Michaels Restaurant and Lounge, 59 Court St, ☏ 1 607 720-6453. Don't let the façade fool you! This restaurant sits in the basement of one of Binghamton's oldest buildings. 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. Several pasta dishes are homemade, and the manicotti are especially good. The original owner was quite an art collector and you will find dozens of paintings to look at while you wait for your order, including several idyllic, impressionistic paintings of local landmarks by Armonodo Dellasanta. Begroting.

Among the best Italian restaurants, location is a bit odd but the food is exceptional. Make sure to come hungry -- the servings are extremely generous and you'll want to leave room from dessert. Midde-reeks.

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. Begroting. 
  • Lupo's S&S Char Pit, 6 West State St, ☏ 1 607 723-6106. One of the two major spiedie sauce labels in the area (the other being Salamida's). Begroting.

Binghamton Hots is the only place in the Triple Cities where you can try Rochester's signature three layer "Hot Plate" or "Garbage Plate", with all the traditional fixings such as home fries, mac salad or baked beans topped with red hots (hot dogs) and Rochester style hot sauce. Alternatively, try a plate with Southern Tier favorites such as chicken spiedies and salt potatoes. Menu also includes other options such as wraps, spiedies, burgers, hot dogs, and salads. Being only a block away from State Street, BH gets very busy with the bar crowd, especially on weekends when the colleges are in session - be prepared for a line if you go late at night, or check them out during the afternoon or early evening when they tend to be quieter. Begroting.

State Street

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 Ithaca, 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 could 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. 

Slaap

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.

  • Binghamton University 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[dooie skakel] (formerly 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[dooie skakel] en Elmira Business Institute both have satellite campuses in Binghamton.

Work

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.

A mostly jazz format dominates sister station WSQX on 91.5 FM, with some current affairs programming networked from WGBH/WBUR in Boston. Both stations frequently advertise local performances and cultural events through the "Community Calendar" both on-air and online. 
  • Press & Sun Bulletin. The Press and Sun Bulletin is Binghamton's only daily newspaper, widely available throughout the Southern Tier. 
  • Pipe Dream. Binghamton University's twice weekly student published newspaper. Primarily distributed on campus, although available for free at a few local businesses.
