NYC Official Visitor Guide A Letter from the Mayor Dear Friends: As temperatures dip, autumn turns the City’s abundant foliage to brilliant colors, providing a beautiful backdrop to the five boroughs. Neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn, Snug Harbor on Staten Island, Long Island City in Queens and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx are rich in the cultural diversity for which the City is famous. Enjoy strolling through these communities as well as among the more than 700 acres of new parkland added in the past decade. Fall also means it is time for favorite holidays. Every October, NYC streets come alive with ghosts, goblins and revelry along Sixth Avenue during Manhattan’s Village Halloween Parade. The pomp and pageantry of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November make for a high-energy holiday spectacle. And in early December, Rockefeller Center’s signature tree lights up and beckons to the area’s shoppers and ice-skaters. The season also offers plenty of relaxing options for anyone seeking a break from the holiday hustle and bustle. Find apple and pumpkin picking at the Queens County Farm Museum, learn about the engineering and design marvels that make NYC a capital of amazing architecture during monthlong “Archtober” and visit our many arts institutions—from Jazz at Lincoln Center to BAM’s Next Wave Festival, where legends and up-and-coming young talent perform. For information about these events and more, visit nycgo.com all year long. Have a fantastic fall in New York City, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely, Michael R.

For those with culinary exploration in mind, Arthur Avenue serves up an authentic taste of Italy with family-owned shops and restaurants lining this fes- tive Belmont block. If it’s history you’re after, the 18th-century Van Cortlandt House Museum is a must for anyone interested in architecture or wartime tales of the neighborhood’s past. The museum is located within Van Cortlandt Park, an expansive 1,146 acres ideal for taking in the crisp fall air, playing a round of golf or relaxing lakeside. For more ways to take in the beauty of the season, make your way to Riverdale’s Wave Hill, where striking views of the Hudson River and New Jersey’s Palisades blend seamlessly with winding paths and colorful foliage. additional highlights: MCNY Bronx Historical Tours | mcnytours.com | 646 831 1078 Specializes in Little Ireland in Woodlawn Heights or Arthur Avenue’s Little Italy.

Williamsburg, where vintage shopping and rock clubs are among the attractions, is only the beginning. Brooklyn Heights features historic architecture and skyline views. DUMBO, named thusly because it’s located Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is dotted with charming bookstores and galleries. Park Slope abounds with restaurants and cafes. The neighborhood also borders picturesque Prospect Park, which boasts a zoo, Audubon Center and even a natural forest.

Mike K., 924 Gilman Street One of the ideas behind ABC is breaking down the barriers between bands and people and making everyone equal. There is no Us and Them. Chris Boarts-Larson, ABC No Rio Kurt Cobain once told an interviewer, “punk rock should mean freedom.”1 The Nirvana singer was arguing that punk, as an idea, had the potential to tran- scend the boundaries of any particular sound or style, allowing musicians an enormous degree of artistic autonomy. But while punk music has often served as a platform for creative expression and symbolic protest, its libratory potential stems from a more fundamental source. Punk, at its core, is a form of direct action. Instead of petitioning the powerful for inclusion, the punk movement has built its own elaborate network of counter-institutions, including music venues, media, record labels, and distributors. These structures have operated most notably as cultural and economic alternatives to the corporate entertainment industry, and, as such, they should also be understood as sites of resistance to the privatizing 0026-3079/2013/5202-023$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:2 (2013): 23-42 23 24 Dawson Barrett agenda of neo-liberalism.
