A Visit to the Ukrainian Museum in the East Village - The Bowery Boys: New York City History

A small gesture to show support to our brother and sisters in Ukraine.

A Visit to the Ukrainian Museum in the East Village - The Bowery Boys: New York City History There’s a small pocket of the East Village still referred to today as “Little Ukraine” (or Ukrainian Village), located at 6th and 7th Streets between First and Third Avenues. Once populated in the late 19th century with thousands of newly arrived Ukrainian immigrants, this area has grown notab...

Yesterday we went to visit @whitneyplantation , the only plantation that tells the story from the enslaved people’s perspective. A very moving, informative and incredibly beautiful experience. (See my stories or the Highlights for more pictures and commentaries.)

Did you know that in the heart of the West Village there is a beautiful federal style brick home that it’s known to be haunted? That’s right! Screeching stairs, sudden screams, food smells and the appearance of a tall elegant man wearing a top hat. No wonder! This residence at 12 Gay St. had multiple lives passing thorough; born as a stable in what at the time was not even a street but just an alley to accomodate the horses of the residents around, during Prohibition it became speakeasy the somewhat theatrical buccaneer-themed Pirate’s Den. Later on was bought by Mayor Jimmy Walker to use as its own pied-a-terre for his mistress,a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, turning it for all practical purposes into a second mayoral residence.
So next time you walk around the charming little streets of the West Village try to imagine the mysterious past of the picturesque buildings as you take your Instagram shot…

The Amazing Life And Rediscovery Of Harlem’s Favorite Photographer

The Amazing Life And Rediscovery Of Harlem’s Favorite Photographer For almost five decades, James Van Der Zee was "the photographer of Harlem."

Gorgeous example of Knit Bombing art in Harlem by @naomirag entitled Flowers Of Turtle Island. The knit and crochet work represent many of the native flowers you can find in North America, many of which were used by the Indigenous people even for medicinal purposes. The name Turtle Island refers to oral histories of the Native Americans, who used to tell stories of a giant turtle holding the World on its back.
