The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Map New York disappear to differing amounts of fanfare and 18) has a very medieval vibe and is the world’s largest make room for whatever it is we’ll be romanticizing in the unfinished cathedral—a much cooler destination than the future. Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting. Great Public Buildings Once upon a time, the city felt that public buildings should inspire civic pride through great architecture. Coolest Skyscrapers Head downtown to view City Hall (Map 3) (1812), Most visitors to New York go to the top of the Empire State Tweed Courthouse (Map 3) (1881), Jefferson Market Building (Map 9), but it’s far more familiar to New Yorkers Courthouse (Map 5) (1877—now a library), the Municipal from afar—as a directional guide, or as a tip-off to obscure Building (Map 3) (1914), and a host of other court- holidays (orange & white means it’s time to celebrate houses built in the early 20th century.

  • 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.

  • NOONAN PLAZA APARTMENTS, 105-149 West 168Th Street (Aka 1231-1245 Nelson Avenue/ 1232-1244 Ogden Avenue), the Bronx
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 22, 2010, Designation List 430 LP-2400 NOONAN PLAZA APARTMENTS, 105-149 West 168th Street (aka 1231-1245 Nelson Avenue/ 1232-1244 Ogden Avenue), the Bronx. Built 1931, Horace Ginsberg and Marvin Fine, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 2518, Lot 1. On December 15, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Noonan Plaza Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., the Historic Districts Council, and New York Landmarks Conservancy.1 Summary Noonan Plaza Apartments, in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, is one of the most impressive Art Deco style apartment complexes in the borough. Built in 1931 for Irish-born developer Bernard J. Noonan, it was designed by the firm of Horace Ginsberg, with the exterior credited to Marvin Fine. The prolific Ginsberg and Fine helped to provide the Bronx with one of its architectural signatures, the urban modernist apartment building, including Park Plaza Apartments (1929-31) on Jerome Avenue. Noonan and Ginsberg had previously collaborated on a number of speculative 1920s apartment buildings in Highbridge, prior to Noonan Plaza. Situated on a large sloping site, with frontages along Ogden and Nelson Avenues and West 168th Street, the complex is six-to-eight stories with a sophisticated site plan – it is divided into units with exterior perimeter light courts and an interior garden court, an arrangement that provided for apartment layouts with multiple exposures for maximum light and air.

  • Supreme Court, Appellate Division First Department
    SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION FIRST DEPARTMENT JUNE 7, 2011 THE COURT ANNOUNCES THE FOLLOWING DECISIONS: Gonzalez, P.J., Tom, Andrias, Moskowitz, Freedman, JJ. 5047 The People of the State of New York, Ind. 714/00 Respondent, -against- Bobby Perez, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________ Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for appellant. Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Bari L. Kamlet of counsel), for respondent. _________________________ Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Margaret L. Clancy, J.), rendered April 23, 2010, resentencing defendant to an aggregate term of 12 years, with 5 years’ postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed. The resentencing proceeding imposing a term of postrelease supervision was not barred by double jeopardy since defendant was still serving his prison term at that time and had no reasonable expectation of finality in his illegal sentence (People v Lingle, __ NY3d __, 2011 NY Slip Op 03308 [Apr 28, 2011]). We have considered and rejected defendant’s due process argument. Defendant’s remaining challenges to his resentencing are similar to arguments that were rejected in People v Williams (14 NY3d 198 [2010], cert denied __ US __, 131 SCt 125 [2010]). We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT. ENTERED: JUNE 7, 2011 _______________________ CLERK 2 Tom, J.P., Friedman, Catterson, Renwick, Abdus-Salaam, JJ. 3937 The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Index 602060/09 Plaintiff-Appellant, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Plaintiff, -against- Almah LLC, Defendant-Respondent. _________________________ Morrison Cohen LLP, New York (Mary E.
