Re: Average cost of meals in NYC. 30 January 2012, 16:22. I tend to get takeout, but the dinner specials in my neighborhood hole in the wall Chinese are $4.75 - $5.75.... the secret is to get out of the center of midtown. If you have to be in midtown, head over to 2nd Avenue, or 9th or 10th Avenue.
This article is about the atomic bomb project. For other uses, see Manhattan Project (disambiguation). The Manhattan Project was a research and development project that produced the first nuclear weapons during World War II. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs.
American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer directed the scientific research of the Manhattan Project. Born out of a small research programme in 1939, the Manhattan Project's roots lay in the United Statesâ fears that, since the 1930s, Nazi Germany had been trying to develop nuclear weapons.
