The former site of David Ruggles’ Residence, a hub of New York City’s Underground Railroad at 36 Lispenard Street. Ruggles guided approximately 600 of the enslaved, including Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, who became Frederick Douglass, to freedom.

Tony Bennett: A truly gifted, humane, and generous

Tony Bennett: A truly gifted, humane, and generous New Yorker. I first met him by chance in 1986 when I worked in FAO Schwarz. It was days after I purchased my first Tony Bennett album. That was the year of his new album, The Art of Excellence, and a career revival. I gave myself credit for his resurgence and newfound popularity :-) I saw him numerous times in concert at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Opera House, Radio City, and in London. I had the pleasure of talking to him three other times, one memorable day walking up 8th Avenue. What a gracious man. The last time I saw him by chance was the morning of his 90th birthday concert at Radio City. I love many of his albums, but it’s hard to surpass both The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album and the later Together Again album. “You Must Believe in Spring,” with Tony, Bill, and a song written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Jacques Demy, and Michel Legrand, is a highlight:
“So in a world of snow
Of things that come and go
Where what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in spring and love.”

1858 Pre-Central Park photograph looking southeast

1858 Pre-Central Park photograph looking southeast toward 59th Street between Sixth and Seventh Aves., noting the “ragpickers, thieves and outcasts who infested Central Park area in 1857.” Historians have discovered that this was largely a fallacy and intentional denigration of the populace on the pre-park landscape. #centralpark #nyc #newyork #newyork_instagram #newyorkcity #centralpark #centralparkconservancy #centralparknyc
