I love the NYC subway system. You pay one fare to go anywhere in the city, unlike Philadelphia or London (the only other cities whose public transportation I know about) which charges you based on how long you ride. Here’s a fascinating story by Andy Newman in the Aug 22, 2008 New York Times called The Curious World of the…

This is not an aerial photo of New York. It’s the largest architectural model in the world. It was built at a scale of 1 inch to 100 feet and has every building in the City of New York. It was built for the 1964 World’s Fair held in Flushing Meadow, and is now on display at the Queens Museum…

When I listen to the traffic reports, I always hear the same names: Major Deegan, Van Wike, the Kozkewsko, etc. I’ve always wondered who those people were and how people get big things named after them. I found out that knowing someone helps (no surprise there), and sometimes it helps to be a hero. Major Deegan, Bronx: Maj. William F….

Queens, more than any of NYC’s boroughs, has a lot of basement apartments but if the apartment is in the cellar, it’s not legal. In our city, no one is allowed to live in the cellar. A cellar has less than 1/2 of its space above ground as measured by the curb level. In this photo of a yellow house,…

I love Parker Posey. Love her in Dazed and Confused and in the Christopher Guest movies. She’s always fun to watch. Too bad about her sitcom on Fox. You might have missed two of her lesser-known movies, both set in Woodside, Queens: Henry Fool (1997) and Fay Grim (2007). These are low budget satires with a cult following, but you…

When you’ve lived in NYC long enough, you’ll know the addresses of the buildings you see on TV as the homes of the characters. RDNY.com‘s Listings Manager, Clay, is a whiz at this game.

Jazz music is uniquely American, a blend of all the music immigrants brought to this country. New Orleans, Kansas City, and Chicago are the cities that are most identified with jazz, and now — yay! — I can add Corona to this list. Louis Armstrong moved to 34-56 107th St in Corona, Queens (that’s his house in the photo) in…

I didn’t know Astoria was happenin’ until I read this in the Daily News: A growing number of college students are uniting online to rescue Astoria’s famous Greek culture from guitar-playing hipsters they charge are ruining the increasingly artsy neighborhood. Change is hard for everyone. In the 1960s, Astoria was a totally Greek neighborhood and at one time had the…

This town we love was first settled by the Iroquis and Alaconquin tribes, and later (1625) was invaded by Dutch members of the West India Trading Company — businessmen! Isn’t that soooo New York? Our town was called New Amsterdam until the English took over and re-named it New York. Here is a list of words you’ve seen around town…
