When my Great Great Great Grandfather, Isaac Warks, settled in New York City from Ireland in 1835, this city and this country became his new home. Since that time generations of my family have proudly called New York City their home. New York is a city unlike any other and it welcomes new comers as it has since the day my Great Great Great Grandfather arrived. Pope Manhatta wants to help you find your dream home whether you are new to New York or are a native New Yorker. We are here to serve you. To understand the neighborhoods in New York it is important to understand their history. Each building and each plot has a history hundreds of years old. You might be surprised to find out that John Wilkes Booth performed Julius Caesar in the same plot as your building which used to be a theatre, or that your building used to be the tallest building in the world. Apart from historical trivia and surprises a knowledge of the history of your neighborhood will help you gauge where your neighborhood has been and where it is going so you can make the right investment. At Pope Manhatta we know the history of the buildings and the plots and will make sure our knowledge is used to help guide you to the perfect match.
