Neil Cohen, filmmaker, playwright, and City University of New York graduate has his first children's book coming out on June 11th, American Gargoyles in….Save the Wentworth!, a children’s picture book (that is sure to charm adults too, particularly preservationists and fans of all things in New York City) telling “the story of one building and its gargoyles.”
Looking for a place that is entertaining and educational for all ages, located in Manhattan? There is a place perfect that gives the experience of being in the ocean while never leaving midtown. “Ocean Encounter” is a virtual reality museum designed by National Geographic to make you feel like you are actually in the ocean. It is located in Manhattan 226 West 44th St, between 7th and 8th Ave. and “Ocean Encounter” will certainly interest the masses.
Imagine being given a rifle, some ammunition, and a bag with your belongings, and treating each day as if it may be your last. In direct contrast to what many have done through the years, I volunteered to fight in a war because I was running away from college. I figure maybe I’d have an adventure and I wouldn’t have to study as much; man, was I wrong, a thousand times over. From the moment I set foot in the fleet of the United States Marine Corps I was tested at each turn. From knowing how to use certain weapons and knowing when might be the perfect moment to flank an enemy position, or withdraw in hasty retreat.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen; tonight's specials will consist of an extraordinary assembly of delicate historical experiences proffered upon my visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art..."
Hot Coffee—in one hand—my face in the other; shit it’s another Monday (Motherfucker!). Warm Winter-day: too hot for a jacket, too cold for my hoodie. Mild Annoyance. Cool-head, cool-head, time to go to work! Cold Commuters, (fuck you), grunting and screaming, (I got shit to do too)!
I think Figgis does solid work here; Polti’s book is one that sits on many writer’s shelves, but isn’t often referenced...
Our local park, Junction Playground, is closed and being rebuilt with lots of upgrades for the local children, but why must it take so long?
For years the citizens of Rosedale have been basically throwing away their money. We pay good taxes, yet our roads are a mess, filled with potholes bigger than our tires can manage.
With all of the warnings about Zika virus, and helpful tips on how to prevent the spread of this virus, it is completely unacceptable to have the puddles of stagnant warm water (ample habitats for mosquito eggs to live and hatch) constantly around Elmhurst.
Picture your perfect, family-based neighborhood, filled with barbecues, children playing, and people jogging. Most people would first think of bright colors and clean, spotless streets, certainly not garbage-covered sidewalks with a side-order of doggy “presents” left behind by uncaring pet owners. Unfortunately this is what my childhood neighborhood has come to. The cause of this growing epidemic is mostly blamed on younger generations, including those who move in lacking a connection to a community's history. At one level, we see this with the controversial issue of "gentrification," where people "improve" neighborhoods to their liking without considering what came before. Over time generations get more and more careless, slowly losing respect for the environment and organisms living in it.
