Dick Loudon and his wife Joanna decide to leave life in New York City and buy a little inn in Vermont. Dick is a how-to book writer, who eventually becomes a local TV celebrity as host of Vermont Today.. George Utley is the handyman at the inn and Leslie Vanderkellen is the maid, with ambitions of being an Olympic Ski champion; she is later replaced by her cousin Stephanie, an heiress who hates her job.
Manhattan (/mÃ¦nËhÃ¦tÉn/, /mÉn-/) is the most densely populated borough of New York City, its economic and administrative center, and its historical birthplace.[4] It may be known locally as simply The City.[1] The borough is coextensive with New York County, founded on November 1, 1683, as one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York.
West of the Bronx River (which bisects the borough) was annexed by NYC in 1874 while everything east of the river joined New York County by 1895. Until 1898, when NYC became an agglomeration of five boroughs, Manhattan and the Bronx were the same county: New York County. Finally, the Bronx became a county on its own in 1914. Today, the boroughs are coterminous as Manhattan occupies New York county, Brooklyn, Kings County, and so forth.
