This exhibit will feature artwork by eight New York artists, each exploring the meaning of “home.” The Morris-Jumel Mansion, originally built as a summer house, has served a variety of functions in its 250-year life, including Revolutionary HQ, a fashionable tavern frequented by New York’s elites, and private residence to a wealthy wine merchant and his ambitious wife. By 1907, the Morris-Jumel Mansion was established as an historic house museum. The several interpretations of the Mansion’s historical identity over the past century attest to the evolving nature of a home’s meaning. The artists featured in "Home" have created a range of artworks that interpret this changing identity. Their varied works, like the Morris-Jumel Mansion itself, speak to changing roles and conceptions of place and belonging. At the Morris-Jumel Mansion, 65 Jumel Terrace, between W. 160th & W. 162nd Streets just east of St. Nicholas Avenue. Thursday, March 20th, 6pm – 9pm.

  • Today's Gowanus Is Tomorrow's Tribeca
    Today’s Gowanus Is Tomorrow’s Tribeca Twenty under-the-radar microneighborhoods that may just be the Next Big Thing. • By S.Jhoanna Robledo • Published Apr 3, 2011 In a city that is, to quote the late, great Alistair Cooke, “the biggest collection of villages in the world,” what makes a village take off? What turns a non-neighborhood or a fledgling neighborhood or a forgotten, forlorn neighborhood into a Name Brand neighborhood? Sometimes, it takes just one big arrival—an overhauled cultural space (see: Museum of the Moving Image, Astoria), a signature building (MiMA on Far West 42nd Street), or a Zeitgeist- seizing restaurant (Roberta’s in Bushwick)—to shake a neighborhood from a stupor. Sometimes, as with the High Line, the city steps in, providing much-needed capital to enliven an area’s crumbling infrastructure. Other times, as with the damn-the-Superfund darlings Gowanus and Greenpoint, the shift comes from basic free-market forces: outpriced renters seeking more space for less rent; shopkeepers needing bigger footprints; a demand for affordable places to shake it on a Saturday night. And it’s also true that, sometimes, sleepers just suddenly wake up. (Good morning, Flushing!) Below you’ll find twenty pockets around the city pulsing with the first stirrings, anyway, of rebirth. Think of them as villages in the making. The Next Big Neighborhood: • 1. The Higher Line Because the High Line Is About to Double in Size • 2. Manhattan Valley Because It’s Suburbia With Subways • 3. Far West 42nd Because Despite Its Gawky Name, MiMA Is One Stunning Building • 4.

Burgess Secretary New York State Public Service Commission Three Empire State Plaza Albany, NY 12223 Re: Matter 17-____ – Petition of Verizon New York Inc. for Orders of Entry for 33 Multiple-Dwelling Unit Buildings in the City of New York Dear Secretary Burgess: Enclosed please find the Petition of Verizon New York Inc. for Orders of Entry for 33 Multiple-Dwelling Unit Buildings in the City of New York. Verizon has completed pre-installation surveys at each of the 33 properties. Verizon requests that orders of entry be issued by the Commission directing the owner of each building to permit Verizon to install cable television facilities, as provided in Section 898.4(b)(9) of the Commission’s Rules. Each respondent named in the Petition has been served with a paper copy of the Petition and accompanying Exhibit 1. Due to its size, a paper copy of Exhibit 2 has not been provided to each respondent. Instead, Exhibit 2 has been posted on a public webpage and can be found at http://www22.verizon.com/about/community/nypsc_petitions.htm. Respondents: If you believe that your building was included in this Petition in error or you are now willing to allow installation of Verizon’s cable television facilities, the quickest and most efficient way of letting us know is to send an email to [email protected]. We will review and follow up on your email promptly.
