Podcasts about mott street

Cultivate Catskill is an all volunteer group dedicated to the beautification of their village. It all started over a dozen years ago when Shelly Pulver, who has lived in Catskill for 55 years and President of the organization, saw an email about hanging baskets. She thought that installing them along Main Street was something that could be done. Over a dozen years later, the village, with a population just under 4000, has over 90 hanging baskets along both Main Street and Bridge Street to the delight of the local residents.. Joining Shelly in this endeavor is her long-time friend, Robin Smith, who is a native Catskillian, Treasurer of the organization, and has been a Master Gardener Volunteer for over 20 years. The two of them along with another dozen volunteers get together every year to help plant pride in their community. In addition to the hanging baskets, they install brightly colored annuals in numerous urns and other containers, care for multiple pocket parks adding seasonal flowers, and  make the downtown shopping district attractive and inviting for visitors and residents alike. The local Tree Council, spearheaded by Hudson Talbott and now part of Cultivate Catskill, has planted over 76 trees in the village along Main Street and more recently in the cemetery. They even worked with the Village Board to create a Tree ordinance to protect and maintain the local trees. Their combined efforts have contributed to a kind of renaissance of the downtown area. To get started they worked with a national organization, America in Bloom, which helped to prioritize their efforts and provided a framework that helps revitalize other municipalities. With their guidance and a lot of hard work, the Bank of Greene County and the Department of Public Works have become great supportive partners in this initiative. To fund their efforts, they have sold memorial bricks, held cookie sales, applied for grants, hosted a Holiday House tour, and still hold monthly Trunk Sales (on the 2nd Saturday of the month between May and October). They decorate for all seasons including funding Holiday snowflake lights (complete with swags that cross the street). Working with local merchants, they organized 'Caturday' and Winter Solstice Strolls events, became an official non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and have gradually expanded their focus beyond Main Street. Uncle Sam's Bridge becomes a feature during the summer months adorned with window-boxes overflowing with multi-colored flowers. The Howard Street and Mott Street slides (alleyways) get attention, as do the Blue Star Park, Policeman's Park, Leggio Park, and now Dutchman's Landing. Recently, working with the local Fortnightly Club, they built a Sprayground (a.k.a. a spray playground) at Elliott Park for children and adults to enjoy during the summer months. Volunteers are always welcome especially to weed and water. Listen in to learn more and potentially apply this approach to your community.

Ava Chin was confused that the stories her grandparents told her did not match the history she learned in school. Her research into family history and the father she never met, led to a single building in New York's Chinatown where many of her ancestors lived. “Mott Street” by Ava Chin

Nikkolai Anderson v. Mott Street

This week on the podcast, we're revisiting a conversation we had with Chin about her book, Mott Street. Through decades of painstaking research, the fifth-generation New Yorker discovered the stories of how her ancestors bore and resisted the weight of the Chinese Exclusion laws in the U.S. – and how the legacy of that history still affects her family today.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July? Literally anywhere else, Ella, get it together.

When I survey... not the Wondrous Cross, but the world as it's currently going, it's hard not to despair. So many things seem and feel wrong -- are wrong. Providentially (as I see it), I've been directed back to Rod Serling. He was so focussed on justice, and especially social justice; and also on fate and impassable destiny. But he also believed in One Big Miracle. Rod Serling believed in the Miracle of Christmas! This comes out in teleplay after teleplay, from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s. Serling honestly believed that One Miracle could change the fallen world. Go back and watch the 1971 'Night Gallery' episode entitled "The Messiah on Mott Street". It's easy to find online (https://archive.org/details/the-messiah-on-mott-street), and is also free of charge. The episode not only enacts a first-class human miracle, but it is also a high point of Jewish-Christian reconciliation in a network TV show. In short, "The Messiah on Mott Street" is a wonder. It will give you fresh hope. And not just hope in 'meta'-terms. But hope for that particular personal insolubility with which you are currently dealing. Oddly, Rod Serling has given me new hope today as I look out on the world. Oh, and read Ross Douthat's terrific recent column in the New York Times entitled, "Where Does Religion Come From?" (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/15/opinion/religion-christianity-belief.html). It has a Rod Serling quality to it. And a Simeon Zahl quality, too! LUV U.

Yet Another Chinatown Building Burns at 80 Madison as This Time 4 Dead, Questions Mount by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MatthewRussellLee CHINATOWN NYC, June 20 -- A three-alarm fire killed four people and emptied the apartment building at 80 Madison Street in Chinatown early on June 20.It is the most recent in a spate of local fires, about which Chinatown residents are asking more and more questions. Inner City Press interviewed several, pressed up against the yellow police tape on Catherine Street. "This is the third fire," said a woman who gave her name only as Tonya. Another man blamed the fire on the e-bike repair store on the first floor of 80 Madison, which it emerged -- through FDNY chainsaws -- had spread bike parts into the newsstand next door. A pile of torched e-bikes and scooters, with torn cardboard and yellow tape, stood in front of Catherine Deli and Bagels, a neighborhood standby. It had a Closed sign dangling where the front door had been. One local asked loudly, "Where are the electeds?" The primary for City Council is on June 27, and posters plaster the neighborhood. Will the City's Adams administration see a pattern here and react? Watch this site - Inner City Press' Downtown News Service.Back on March 24, 2023 an apartment building burned down at 47 Mott Street in Chinatown. Inner City Press covered it. Local Assemblymember Grace Lee said the building has been owned by the Lin Sing Association. Inner City Press was told by Red Cross personnel at the police Do Not Cross tape that more than 20 families have been displaced. As of June 20, 47 Mott Street remains plywooded over.Inner City Press will continue to cover Chinatown and its struggles, through its Downtown News Service. Photo here.

In seeking to learn more about her family history, author Ava Chin was able to trace many of her relatives back to one building on Mott Street in Chinatown. From the Chinese Exclusion Act to present day, Chin traces the history of her family, and the Chinese community in America, through this one building. Chin joins us to discuss her new book, Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming.

In this episode, author and CUNY professor Ava Chin, a 5th generation Chinese New Yorker, discusses her new book, Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming.The book artfully explores themes of exclusion as it relates to all Chinese Americans, plus personally for Chin with her father, a "crown prince" of Chinatown that she didn't meet until adulthood. Chin reveals personal family stories against the backdrop of the U.S. eugenics movement and draws a connecting line between the current rise in violence against Asians in North America and anti-immigration laws more than 100 years old.Chin also showcases the resilience, love lives and dreams of Chinese immigrants as well as their resistance to the attitudes and laws of the era.In our conversation, Chin said:> This story goes back to a period in time, in the era of reconstruction, when the country, when the young country was asking itself, who is an American and who is not, who is one of us? And the decisions that they made back then in the 19th century set us on a course as a nation towards viewing all Asians as being foreign and suspicious. And so the great aim of this book is to shed light on Asian American stories and place Asian Americans into our proper space into the larger American story.

MOTT STREET: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming, is a sweeping narrative history of the Chinese Exclusion Act, told through an intimate portrayal of one family's epic journey to lay down roots in America, researched and written by Ava Chin, Professor at City University of New York.

In this interview, Ava and I discuss Mott Street, the Chinese Exclusion Act, her family's close connection to Mott Street and how 49 of her family members have lived in this one building on the street, the importance of oral histories, how she is a 5th generation Chinese-American, and much more.

We visit New York City's Chinatown with culinary historian, cookbook author, and campaigner Grace Young. The largest in the US, it is known for an abundance of markets, eateries, multi-generational businesses, and independent stores serving New Yorkers and tourists from all over the world. It is home to a predominantly Chinese Asian diaspora dating back to the mid-1800s and today this area includes communities from Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and more.  On a tour through the area, Grace guides Chrystal around Chinatown's streets and landmarks. They begin at 65 Mott Street, the oldest tenement building in NYC, followed by a visit to Mee Sum Cafe, a local hangout since 1967 and now a household name known for its casual setting, Zongzi Chinese tamales, ginger tea, and small plates. Together they explore Grace's favorite food markets, fishmongers and bakeries in the area.  To end, Chrystal visits Grace's home where she learns about the art and history of the wok, and how to make the perfect stir fry. In conversation with Chrystal, Grace shares why Chinatown is a living encyclopedia, the still felt impact of COVID-19 and anti-Asian racism, and the importance of supporting Chinatown's history and future.  If you like what you heard, please subscribe, write us a review and join the conversation at Stance Podcast and all podcasting apps @stancepodcast @chrystalgenesis and visit Stance's website for more info and links from this episode.

In the 1860s, Chinese immigrants built vast stretches of railroad in the American West. But two decades later, they found themselves the targets of the first federal law restricting immigration by race and nationality: the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which remained on the books until 1943. One of writer Ava Chin's forefathers worked on the railroad, and much of her family suffered from the consequences of the Exclusion Act. The violence it enabled pushed both sides of her family east, to New York City. Chin, raised by her mother's relatives in Queens, had grown up without meeting her father or his family—until years of research led her to a building on Mott Street where, she soon learned, both sides of her family spent decades living, squabbling, and loving. Chin's new book, Mott Street, is the result of painstaking research across continents and oceans, into oral and written records, to trace five generations of Chinese-American history.Go beyond the episode:Ava Chin's Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and HomecomingRead her reflections on her railworker great-great-grandfather and contemporary immigration controlHer columns as the Urban Forager for The New York Times grew into Eating Wildly, her 2015 bookVisit our website for a selection of family photographs Tune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Will and Norm welcome community activist and local Chinatown shop manager, Patrick Mock, who went viral for confronting de Blasio when the pandemic hit New York City. We dive into his upbringing and being a product of NYC Chinatown, which gave him the tenacity to start organizing efforts to help save struggling Chinatown businesses while also caring for the neighborhood's most vulnerable residents during the pandemic. Mock was also nominated by Instagrammer New York Nico and led to a $50,000 grant from Google, presented by actor Will Smith on his Snapchat series “Will from Home.” Smith also presented Mock with $10,000 from the Asian Americans for Equality organization to buy lanterns for the Light Up Chinatown initiative, Mock's idea to have donors buy a personalized lantern to be strung and lit over Mott Street.

Si es tu primera vez aquí. O si ya has estado, pero como si lo fuera. Te mando esta postal sonora de Nueva York desde Chinatown. Chinatown es irreductible. Tanto que, manzana a manzana, va conquistando terreno. Hacia el norte, se lo quitan a Little Italy. Y hacia el este, a los judíos del Lower East Side. Los letreros escritos en mandarín, el olor que desprenden los puestos de comida callejera y los patos colgando de los escaparates nos podrían hacer pensar que estamos en el mismo Pekín. Al doblar a la derecha de Mott Street y llegar a Grand te encuentras con la agradable sorpresa de uno de los muchos locales de masajes que hay en el barrio. Un antro encajonado en un sótano, al que se accede por unas escaleras minúsculas. El local es pequeño y oscuro. Su decoración es de bazar oriental, con guirnaldas de lucecitas de colores, flores artificiales, figuritas de plástico imitando la porcelana y, cómo no, el gato de la suerte, que te invita a pasar al compás de su brazo. ¿Entrarías a un lugar así? En casa te enseñan a anteponer el orden al caos, el plan a la improvisación, Apolo a Dionisio. Doblar simétricamente las sábanas. Colocar el papel higiénico siempre del mismo lado. Organizar la ropa del armario por colores. Esa obsesión puede provocar que le pongas etiquetas a todo, incluso, a las relaciones. Hasta que conoces a alguien que hace que todo salte por los aires. Ella, tan canción del verano. Yo, tan sinfonía de Beethoven. Ella, tan Barroco. Yo, tan Renacimiento. Pero, gracias a esa persona, aprendes que dos más dos, a veces, no son cuatro. Que el vaso no tiene por qué estar siempre medio lleno o medio vacío. Y que la vida es todo eso que hay entre el blanco y el negro. Pero también puede que haya excepciones que confirmen la regla y, por tanto, que podéis ser esos extraños polos opuestos que no terminan por atraerse. No pasa nada. Gracias por escucharme. Un abrazo desde Nueva York.

Will and Norm speak with the Mott Street Girls (MSG), founders Anna Huang and Chloe Chan. They are second-generation Chinese Americans who met through tour guide training at the Museum of Chinese in America. During the COVID-19 crisis, they saw how xenophobia and misinformation decimated tourism in Chinatown and threatened the survival of many residents and immigrant-owned small businesses. This led them to co-found MSG to make Chinese American history and culture more accessible to the public. By hosting Chinatown walking tours, creating educational social media content, and partnering with community organizations, they strive to preserve Chinatown's rich cultural heritage, bring business to the neighborhood, and share the stories of their community.

Bernadette Winters Bell, LMSW, PLLC, a life, loss and grief therapist with a private practice in Oneonta, New York, airs episode fifteen of her podcast From Heartache to Healing and Hope on Monday, May 10 The goal of this series is to share and archive stories of varying experiences that may help to shed light and offer hope during the challenging, unprecedented times of the pandemic. Episode fifteen features Bernadette in spirited conversation with Eileen Harcourt, an aesthetician to the fashion and entertainment elite in New York City, Paris, and Upstate New York. W Magazine excerpt about Eileen: "The New York aesthetician Eileen Harcourt spends her days hopping from TriBeCa lofts to Upper East Side penthouses to Hamptons manses, treating a roster of VIP clients that includes Adriana Lima, Lauren Hutton, and Daphne Guinness. A fashion-world favorite, she can often be spotted prepping skin backstage at runway shows and treating models on set for the photographer Steven Klein. She also sees clients at her Upper West Side studio, where, happily, mere mortals are welcome." (eharcourts.com) Featured Guest on Episode Fifteen Eileen Harcourt earned her fashion degree in Boston, and her aesthetic license in cosmetology in New York City. Shortly afterwards she went to Paris and studied with world renowned Jacques Courtin Clarins (CLARINS), the founder and chairman of the Clarins Groupe, a French company that produces luxury skin-care products and makeup made primarily from plant extracts, and with Decleor.

She developed the revolutionary use of calming, uplifting oils while administering facials to the stars, and ultimately blended them into a “tranquility” candle for the home. After the success of her product line, she began selling her products wholesale (clients include Club Monaco, Viacom, Lauren Hutton, and many more). In September of 2000 she founded her unique, sensorial shop which included her original candles, soaps and personalized aesthetic services on Mott Street in NYC. She taught classes at the learning Annex on creating your own products, and branched out into television with episodes such as “The Beauty Authority” on Lust for Looks, a men's network fashion program. Eileen has been featured in Vogue (US, Italy, Japan, Mexico), InStyle Magazine, Style.com, Allure, Marie Claire, W, and more.

Lupo WolfIgnazio Lupo nasce a Palermo nel marzo del 1877. Nel 1898, a seguito di un litigio avvenuto nel suo negozio, uccise a colpi d'arma da fuoco, Salvatore Morello un commerciante suo concorrente. Favorito dalla famiglia, espatriò clandestinamente a New York. A New York iniziò un'attività commerciale sulla 72esima Strada assieme a un cugino di nome Saitta. A seguito di una controversia con quest'ultimo spostò la sua attività a Brooklyn dove commercio prodotti alimentari provenienti dall'Italia quale olio, formaggi e vino. Nel 1901 trasferì la sua attività da Brooklyn a Manhattan, e ampliò la sua attività di importazione e aprì un nuovo negozio ai numeri 210–214 di Mott Street. Già nel 1902 Lupo fu visto andare in giro e frequentare elementi della banda Morello. Già per i servizi segreti il duo Morelo Lupo formavano una formidabile coppia di criminali. Per rafforzare la loro unione nel 1904, Ignazio Lupo si unì alla famiglia Morello sposando Salvatrice, sorella dei fratelli Terranova. Nonostante Lupo fosse più giovane del Morello, e apparentemente meno esperto, in realtà era estremamente intelligente e spietato. Lupo fu sospettato di almeno 60 omicidi e potrebbe averne uccisi molti di più. Tuttavia, non fu mai imprigionato prima del 1910. n quell'anno l'otto gennaio, nell'ambito del caso conosciuto come la contraffazione delle Highland, gli agenti dei servizi segreti fecero un'irruzione a Brooklyn 16esima Strada. A seguito della perquisizione nella stanza al piano superiore venivano rinvenuti: un revolver, lettere, passaporti e un libretto bancario contenente i nomi di John Lupo, Joseph Lo Presti e Giuseppe Lo Presti. In conseguenza al processo che ne scaturì in merito a questa vicenda Lupo fu condannato a 30 anni e imprigionati nel carcere federale di Atlanta. gli fu concessa la libertà condizionale il 30 giugno 1920.Apena uscito dal carcere Lupo diede vita a un racket delle estorsioni le cui vittime furono i fornai. Nel 1936, il governatore di New York Herbert Lehman presentò una petizione al presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt affinché Lupo tornasse in prigione per la sua diffusa attività estorsiva. Pertanto fu di nuovo arrestato e associato al carcere federale di Atlanta per scontare alcuni anni della sua condanna originale che gli avevano condonato per il reato di falsificazione di moneta. Quando fu rimesso in libertà tornò a Brooklyn, era debole e malato di demenza senile, tanto che morì nel 1947 per cause naturali.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/storia-della-mafia-americana--4689841/support.

Rabbi Kolakowski describes his Chaplain duties in prison during Christmas, stressing the importance of injecting positivity to the inmates at a time when suicide incidents spike dramatically. Rabbi Kivelevitz conjectures that Kolakowski's youthful celebration of the Holiday, growing up as a child in an interfaith home, has helped him relate to the prisoners with an understanding of how important this time is.The pair discuss Santa Claus's easy accessibility for children to latch on to as a figure of hope as opposed to comprehending the theological riddle that is Jesus. The Chaplain alludes to the fascinating, winding. Capitalistic historical road that has morphed a Third century Turkish Monk into the Kris Kringle figure of today.Y.K.'s Chanukah/X-Mas Movie recommendations this week are, Disney Channel's 2003 basketball-losers feel good flick, Full Court Miracle , along with Yehuda Wurtzel's 1983 animated near-classic Lights: A Story of Chanukah ,featuring the voice talents of Judd Hirsch and Leonard Nimoy, and the thought provoking short historical drama The Eighth Day which highlights the conflict between assimilationist and traditional Judaism, whose roots can be traced to the period of the Misyavnim.A.K.'s list of Chanukah (Jewish identity preserved or watered down in the face of modern pressure)films/TV programs are Rod Serling's1971 Night Gallery episode,The Messiah of Mott Street, featuring a powerful turn by Edward G. Robinson as a dying Jewish man who experiences a Christmas miracle, which suggests that distinct ethnic Judaism can and should be subsumed in the Unitarian Christian message of brotherly love.Kivelevitz contrasts this early 70's entry to a program aired 25 years later, a fourth season X-Files episode ,Kaddish, which emphasizes Jewish particularism and the mysterious unknowable essence of what forged our identities and keeps us distinct ,feared and in some corners, hated.As an example of the Jewish conceit of the middle part of the twentieth century that "we yidden" would act as moral agents of change in an increasingly decadent western society, Kivelevitz points to the standout performance of Jack Kruschen in Billy Wilder's masterpiece, The Apartment, and its coda of "being a mensch", which is promoted by Wilder and his co-writer I.A.L. Diamond, as the main credo of Judaism as embodied by Kruschen's humorous, heroic, wise Doctor Dreyfus.In the open discussion that always ensues, the pair make reference to the two versions of The Jazz Singer, the original from1927 ,and the Neil Diamond remake from 1980,as well as regretting not adding Disney's The Absent-Minded Professor to the foiled wedding list films from the last episode, and Kivelevitz's tributes to the unique(Jewish) personas that were Ed Wynn and Andy Kaufman. Kolakowski is the Facility Chaplaincy Program Director at the The State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Waymart, Pennsylvania. The institution is a medium security prison facility housing 1,100 inmates and a 120 bed Forensic Treatment Center, which provides inpatient psychiatric treatment in a secure setting for adult male offenders.Kolakowski is the first Rabbi in the history of the Commonwealth to serve as head chaplain in a state prison.Prior to his present position, he served pulpits and chaplaincy positions in Virginia and Upstate New York.The Rabbi has emerged as a talented speaker in areas of religion, politics, spirituality, popular culture, history, and interfaith affairs. He has created an extremely popular YouTube channel with thousands of followers.Kolakowski unashamedly recounts his personal history. While his mother was raised in a Modern Orthodox home in Queens, his father is a devout Roman Catholic. He had a bris in an Orthodox synagogue but was also baptized in a Catholic church.His maternal grandparents encouraged him to have a bar mitzvah in their Orthodox Shul which spurred the young Kolakowski to adopt a frum lifestyle.At eighteen, he spent a year in a Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, whose environs drew him into Hasidic practice and philosophy .Kolakowski went on to study for and receive semichah at Yeshiva Or Kedoshim Biala in Brooklyn. He recognized the need to obtain a B.A. in psychology from Lander College for Men .Hearing the call to become a communal leader, he matriculated to Touro College for a postgraduate certificate in Advanced Rabbinics and Synagogue Management in conjunction with the National Council of Young Israel and the Young Israel Council of Rabbis.Rabbi Kolakowski's English translation of sefer Seder HaYom by the late Biala Rebbe was published in 2006 in Israel to wide acclaim.He can be reached at josephkolakowski@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

EPISODE 328 New Yorkers eat a LOT of Chinese food and have enjoyed Chinese cuisine – either in a restaurant or as takeout – for well over 130 years. Chinese food entered the regular diet of the city before the bagel, the hot dog and even the pizza slice. In this episode, Greg explores the history of Chinese food in New York City -- from the first Mott Street kitchens in Manhattan's Chinatown to the sleek 20th century eateries of Midtown. We have one particular dish to thank for the mainstreaming of Chinese food -- chop suey. By the 1920s, chop suey had taken New York by storm, a cuisine perfect for the Jazz Age. Through the next several decades, Chinese food would be transformed into something truly American and the Chinese dining experience would incorporate neon signs, fabulous cocktails and even glamorous floor shows by the 1940s. FEATURING: Such classics as the Port Arthur Restaurant, the Chinese Tuxedo, Ruby Foo's Den, Tao, Lucky Cheng's and the eateries of 'Szechuan Valley'. PLUS: Bernstein-on-Essex and the love affair between Chinese food and Jewish New Yorkers. boweryboyshistory.com   Support the show.

Manhattan's Chinatown is the oldest ethnic neighborhood in the city with a complicated history of gang wars and two cultures melding.

We've been following the 14th Street busway since it was first proposed, and after being blocked twice by legal complaints, the street has been swept free of cars and the buses have been roaming free for two weeks now. In a press release from the MTA, preliminary data shows that ridership is up and buses are moving faster along 14th Street. A cross-town trip from Third Avenue to Eighth Avenue will now take 10.6 minutes, compared to a 15 minute trip from last year. While collecting data on the Select Bus Service plan implemented along the M14 route, the MTA saw a jump in ridership, with 15% more people choosing to take the prioritized buses, and in the short time the 14th Street busway has been operating, the ridership has jumped again, topping 31,000 daily riders on an average weekday. The busway, which limits traffic on 14th Street from 6am to 10pm, is planned to last 18 months, after which the DOT will assess the impact it has had on bus transit and traffic in the surrounding area. — Also this week, independent data analysis firm INRIX evaluated traffic data from the streets surrounding the 14th Street busway and found that there was no change in traffic speeds, and zero impact on traffic to the immediate north or south of 14th. The initial objections raise by local community groups claimed the busway would negatively impact nearby streets by pushing 14th Street's traffic into their neighborhoods, but the speed increase for 31,000 daily bus riders came at no expense to traffic, with differences in average speeds on surrounding streets never slowing more than a half a mile per hour. Here's how INRIX described the results: "The impact, or lack-there-of, may seem surprising but similar projects around the world have had similar results. The reallocation of space from vehicles to buses represents a far more efficient use of a limited public resource. Whereas one urban lane in congestion can move roughly 1,000 people an hour, a transit way can hit 25,000. As a result of this project, more people are getting where they need to be faster and more reliably." 53 years ago on October 17, 1966 — 12 members of the FDNY are killed when a burning building collapses, becoming the largest single loss of life in FDNY history until the 9/11 attacks 18 years ago on October 24, 2001 — A 14-story construction scaffolding and brick building façade collapses, killing five workers and seriously injuring 10 others in a courtyard at 215 Park Ave South near Union Square 54 years ago on October 18, 1965 — Closing day of the NY World's Fair at Flushing Meadows Park — Bowery Boys podcast 24 years ago on October 23, 1995 — A Greenpeace activist piloting a "gas-powered parachute" flies a banner outside the UN building 88 years ago on October 24, 1931 — The upper level of the George Washington Bridge is opened in a dedication ceremony, and opens to traffic the next day — United States Marine Band conducted by Leonard Slatkin playing William Schuman's 1950 composition "George Washington Bridge" 60 years ago on October 21, 1959 — The Guggenheim Museum Opens on the Upper East Side 136 years ago to October 22, 1883 — The original Metropolitan Opera House opens Beginning October 18th through the 20th, you'll have the once-a-year opportunity to explore the city like never before when Open House New York brings you exclusive tours of the city's architectural masterpieces that are sometimes hidden from public view or pass by unnoticed the rest of the year.

I got to Susan Meiselas’ Mott street studio a few minutes early and one of her assistants let me in to set up my gear. As I was waiting for her to arrive, I was leafing through a worn out first edition of Carnival Strippers, thinking to myself nervously, in that bout of anxiety before an interview - what are we going to even talk about that she’s gonna find interesting? The door clicked open she flew into the basement studio apologizing for a Magnum Foundation meeting running a few minutes late. She asked one of her assistants to prepare two cameras for some portraits of an old acquaintance she was going to do that evening an at the theatre, and rummaged through a couple manilla files looking for a note that she didn’t want to forget, and excused herself to shoot of a quick email. As soon as we sat down at the table and put the headphones on, though, her attention, in a split second, became so focused and engaged, as if none of the other million things she was working on or thinking about mattered. And that focus grabbed and threw me into this zone - my insecurities and preoccupations of what we were going to talk about dissipated in favour of an attention and curiosity in her.Susan Meiselas has spent her life going into situations and making such varied acquaintances with who she has photographed over time, from young teenage girls outside her home on Mott Street to women doing striptease at New England country fairs. She’s documented human rights issues in Nicaragua to the goings on of exclusive S and M club in New York called Panora’s box. Meeting people and making quick acquaintances is one thing, but then making good pictures in those situations is another. It requires a kind of focus - getting into a zone - that I saw so palpably when we got together.Meiselas was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1948, studied at Harvard earning her MA in visual eduction, taught in the New York public school system and has worked as one of our most esteemed documentary photographers for close to 50 years. In 1976, she joined Magnum Photos and became a full member in 1980. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In part II of our final episode, we return to Wing on Wo & Co, the oldest continuously operating store in Manhattan's Chinatown to sit down with Mei Lum- the store's fifth generation owner. She explains what informed her decision in 2016 at the age of 26 to defer her acceptance to grad school at Columbia and assume ownership of the store. And also how that ownership has informed the development of the W.O.W project, her non profit whose mission is to sustain ownership over Chinatown's future by growing, protecting and preserving Chinatown's creative culture through arts and activism. Mei and Alexis also dig into how Chinese culture is often appropriated, and Mei drafts a response to an inappropriate Instagram post. She also fills us in on the history Chinatown holds, the challenges it faces and her (cautious) vision for her store, her project and her neighborhood. You can stop by W.O.W (26 Mott Street) any day of the week between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. And to learn more about the store's history, visit their website and listen to the Prelude to the End: Alexis Says Goodbye to NewYorkILYBYC.

Gary Lum is the steward, guardian and current shopkeeper of Wing on Wo & Co, the oldest continuously operating store in Manhattan's Chinatown. Wing on Wo has been at its current location, 26 Mott Street, since 1925 and sells consciously chosen Chinese porcelain. Wing on Wo is a family business and is truly one of the most special spaces in our city. The Lum’s story of tenacity, legacy and loyalty is New York City at its very best. There couldn't be a more fitting interview to close this series with. In part I, Gary shares the beauties and challenges of growing up as the American born son of Chinese Immigrants in the Chinatown of the 1960s and 70s. He definitely knows the neighborhood has changed but he discusses how he manages to work within it. He also talks about the complex roles Stuyvesant High School and the Jersey Shore played in his life and why he tries to cultivate genuine connections with his customers.And most importantly, Gary gives some insight into how raising his two awesome daughters, Mei and Lina, empowered him to correct the lasting effects of a childhood he considered less than ideal.

Born and raised in Chicago's northwest suburbs, Edward Kim attended New York University, earning a B.A. in political science with the intention of becoming an attorney. Choosing, however, to go in a much different direction, he enrolled in Pasadena's Le Cordon Bleu, where he rekindled his passion for food and cooking, and eventually graduated with a culinary degree. After culinary school, he honed his skills in various New York and Los Angeles kitchens under a number of acclaimed chefs. Starting out with a caterer in Pasadena, he moved on to an externship at Per Se, then the job of Garde Manger at Meson G in Los Angeles. In 2011 he opened his first restaurant, Ruxbin, in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. Two years later, Kim and his partners opened their second concept, Mott Street, a more casual restaurant that showcases family-style Asian street food in a relaxed environment. His restaurants have been honored with awards and accolades from Michelin, Bon Appetit and The New York Times. Edward Kim accepted our Ingredient Challenge this week, using noodles as the main ingredient. Although I'm not sure which type he's selected - dried, fresh... egg, rice or wheat... it's up to him. He and Rick attempt to come up with a weeknight meal using the noodles of our choice, plus five extra ingredients. The challenge is, both have to finish our dishes in 15 minutes or less.

Manhattan's Chinatown recently made headlines for being the target of an offensive segment on Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News show. Fox missed the real story: the truly special place it occupies in the US food scene. Navigate the narrow, bustling sidewalks Mott Street between Canal and Hester and you'll see food everywhere, from live frogs to whole dragon fruit. What makes culinary Chinatown tick? For answers, we turn on this week's Bite podcast to Valerie Imbruce, author of the new book From Farm to Canal Street. Imbruce argues that Manahttan's Chinatown is a remnant of pre-supermarket New York—and also a viable model for a more tantalizing food future. We also went to San Francisco’s Chinatown to track down the surprising origins of fortune cookies. (Hint: They’re not from China!) And: If you want to spice up a conference panel, invite some angry, chanting vegans. Just ask Tom.

Manhattan's Chinatown is unique among New York neighborhoods as its origins and its provocative history can still be traced in many of the buildings and streets still in existence. Two hundred years ago, the sight of a Chinese person would have astonished New Yorkers, and the first to arrive in the city were either sailors or the subjects of tacky exhibition.  But with the first Chinese men setting on Mott Street, a new community was born, with thriving variety shops, cigar businesses and gambling dens alongside establishments of a more sensuous nature -- opium dens and brothels. This mini-economy produced social clubs and secret societies (the legendary ‘tongs’), and rival gangs soon spilled blood along the neighborhood's quirkiest lane. And still today, modern Chinatown hides a few dark, startling secrets of its own. ALSO: We give you a rundown of addresses along Mott Street and other places nearby.
