A VALUABLE HOBBY The Knickerbocker Club played baseball at Hoboken's "Elysian Fields" on October 6, 1845. That game appears to be the first recorded by an American newspaper. This Currier & Ives lithograph, which is online via the Library of Congress, depicts the Elysian Fields. As the nineteenth century moved into its fourth decade, Alexander Cartwright wrote rules for the Knickerbockers, an amateur New York City baseball club. Those early rules (which were adopted on the 23rd of September, 1845) provide a bit of history (perhaps accurate, perhaps not) for the “Recently Invented Game of Base Ball.” For many years the games of Townball, Rounders and old Cat have been the sport of young boys. Recently, they have, in one form or another, been much enjoyed by gentlemen seeking wholesome American exercise. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright and other members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York codified the unwritten rules of these boys games into one, and so made the game of Base Ball a sport worthy of attention by adults. We have little doubt but that this gentlemanly pastime will capture the interest and imagination of sportsman and spectator alike throughout this country. Within two weeks of adopting their rules, members of the Knickerbocker Club played an intra-squad game at the Elysian Fields (in Hoboken, New Jersey).

Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place. From elegant apartment houses and mansions to more modest brownstones and early 20th-century immigrant communities, the Upper East Side boasts a rich history and a wonderfully varied built legacy. With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks.

FRIENDS has selected representative sites that we feel exemplify each district’s unique history and character. Each of the districts has its own color-coded map with easy-to-read points that can be used to find your own favorite site, or as a self-guided walking tour the next time you find yourself out strolling on the Upper East Side.

We continue to work to reduce the Meal Gap and food insecurity rate in all boroughs, along with prioritizing funding for emergency food that is made available to those who may need it. We’ve committed to serving free school meals to all 1.1 million children who attend NYC Schools, alleviating the financial burden placed on families; and in keeping with promoting health and wellbeing at schools, there are now gardens in over half of all New York City schools. These are just some of the many highlights of this report and the work to improve the food system. We would like to acknowledge the commitment of Mayor Bill de Blasio, Deputy Mayor Herminia Palacio, Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen, and the many commissioners and agency staff to prioritize policies and expanding programs that support furthering equity in our food system.

  • 1 November 17, 2015 Response of the ACSRI to the CDCJ Proposal of October 2015 Executive Summary the Advisory Committee on Socia
    1 November 17, 2015 Response of the ACSRI to the CDCJ Proposal of October 2015 Executive Summary The Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing (“ACSRI” or “the Committee”) has decided not to recommend to the Trustees a proposal of the student group Columbia Divest for Climate Justice (“CDCJ”) calling for divestment from the Columbia endowment of all stocks or bonds in firms listed in the Carbon Underground 200TM. The more the Committee has deliberated over the possibility and the scope of a possible divestment recommendation, however, the stronger has become the feeling that divestment is too narrow a lens through which to consider Columbia University’s engagement with the climate change issue. The Committee has also become acutely aware that it is the wrong forum to debate and then propose the specifics of a Columbia University action plan. In light of the grave threats posed by climate change and the University’s capacity to play a national leadership role, the ACSRI thus recommends that President Bollinger appoint a representative committee to formulate a Plan of Action that contemplates engagement across the University. We expect that such a Plan of Action would address (i) further efforts by the University to shrink its carbon footprint including specific goals, (ii) further support for the University’s leadership in climate change research, (iii) support for research into new technologies related to renewable energy as well as atmospheric carbon abatement, (iv) support for public educational efforts on the mechanisms of climate change and the risks, (v) support for legal, economic, and regulatory analysis of the current US and international approaches to climate change.

  • SHELTON HOTEL, 525 Lexington Avenue
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2557 SHELTON HOTEL, 525 Lexington Avenue (aka 523-527 Lexington Avenue, 137-139 East 48th Street, 136-140 East 49th Street), Manhattan Built: 1922-23; architect, Arthur Loomis Harmon Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 1303, Lot 53 On July 19, 2016 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Shelton Hotel and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 4). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. A representative of the owner spoke in favor of the designation acknowledging the building’s architectural and cultural importance. There were five other speakers in support of the designation including representatives of Borough President Gale Brewer, Community Board 6, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Historic Districts Council, and the Municipal Arts Society. A representative of the Real Estate Board of New York spoke in opposition to the designation. A representative of Council Member Daniel Garodnick submitted written testimony in support of the designation. Two other individuals have also submitted emails in support of the designation. Summary Designed by architect Arthur Loomis Harmon and completed in 1923, the Shelton Hotel was one of the first “skyscraper” residential hotels. With its powerful massing it played an important role in the development of the skyscraper in New York City. Located on the east side of Lexington Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets, it is one of the premiere hotels constructed along the noted “hotel alley” stretch of Lexington Avenue, which was built as part of the redevelopment of this section of East Midtown that followed the opening of Grand Central Terminal and the Lexington Avenue subway line.
