New York City is full of stories. Here’s 15 I’ve collected over the last few months that I thought were really good. I hope you like them too:
- Here’s a good story on the Louis Armstrong house museum in Queens. I love that museum. I love the fact that Armstrong lived in Queens, too.
- This is a sad story of an 82 year old man and a Stewart hotel long term resident who is facing eviction after living there for decades.
- Here’s a fascinating story of the brooklyn seltzer boys who still make seltzer the old fashion way.
- Here’s a story for book lovers: five enchanting art bookstores in NYC they should visit.
- Here’s 10 Movies that tell the story of New York and capture its essence.
- Here’s a cool story on how Brooklyn Public Library is offering free eCards to teens nationwide who are dealing with book bans in local communities.
- This is a story to follow up on: How New York’s MTA is using AI scanning software to stop fare evasion.
- Another story to follow up on: how the Mayor plans to convert midtown Manhattan buildings into housing.
- No one can tell a story like Anthony Bourdain. Here he is in 2000 writing in the New Yorker and describing a day in the life of working in his kitchen at Les Halles in NYC. Bourdain is a romantic and it comes across in that piece.
- A practical story: how to find a public restroom in New York.
- This is a fascinating story on how Korean fine dining has taken over the New York restaurant scene.
- Times Square is full of stories. This web cam proves it.
- Here’s how three vastly different subway signs can tell a story of three eras in NYC.
- This is a scary story of how New York is not ready for climate change flooding storms
- Finally, I love this story on the the improbable resurrection of an all night kebab place in the Lower East Side.
