  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • 1 Sims East Harlem
    1 Sims East Harlem: An Inquiry into Development Madeleine Sims Urban Studies Senior Thesis Dr. Mark Naison ​ ​ 2 Sims Prologue th Stepping from the 125 ​ street Metro North stop onto the street below, one isn’t awestruck ​ by poverty and grit, instead they are presented with chain stores and a bustling movement of people, trying to get to the subway or Metro North stations or finagling a way into the stores. ​ East Harlem has been in the midst of a commercial and residential development process for the past 22 years involving federal, local, and private investment. East Harlem was not always like ​ ​ this, nor is it like this in the rest of the neighborhood. East Harlem has been notably resistant to ​ ​ the pressures of gentrification. East Harlem has a history similar to that of many poor ​ ​ neighborhoods in New York City but what is at work in today in El Barrio can be understood as the future of New York City, the spread of the supply and demand game among the wealthier residents of the city. Before delving into the role of development in the neighborhood today, we ​ ​ need to understand the demographic history of El Barrio, focusing on the role of community organizations, private and governmental investment, and most importantly the role of housing markets in NYC. ​ 3 Sims Chapter 1: The Evolution of East Harlem Introduction th rd East Harlem is the neighborhood between 96 ​ and 143 ​ streets, sandwiched in between ​ ​ th 1 5 ​ avenue and FDR drive, bordered by Central Park, Harlem, and the Upper East Side.

I will not pretend to deny the tourists traps, such as the Statue of Liberty and Coney Island, that brought me endless fun and great memories. Traveling through the busy streets, searching for the nearest ice cream truck, or traveling downtown to my favorite halal cart on 57th, every element of this city has been memorable.
