NEW YORK MEANS BUSINESS
by Hrag Vartanian
No city takes the art of business as seriously as New York. Between power lunches, an economy bigger than most nations, and more international headquarters than anywhere else in the world, it's got it all. Maybe it was the Dutch merchants who imported their shrewd brand of capitalism that attracted wave after wave of immigrants who stayed to forge the marketplace by stimulating the brightest minds to compete in the city's sophisticated adrenaline loaded business atmosphere.
The first wave of Armenian business people to arrive were the rug merchants of Fifth Avenue. Today, still referred to as the Carpet District, it is adjacent to the Armenian Gramercy Park neighborhood.
Armenian American historian, Vartan Malcom, estimated that a vast majority of America's oriental carpets in the early years of the 20th century traveled through Armenian hands with the elegant stores on Fifth Avenue acting as the palaces of the industry.
