In preparation for bathing suit season, we present a discussion of the current status of hair removal treatments.  Traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, sugaring, and threading work temporarily, but medical-grade, in-office treatments are more powerful. Electrolysis is the gold standard—it uses a tiny needle and an electric current to kill the hair follicle. It's great for small areas, but not practical for large ones. Vaniqa (ethornithine) was a prescription cream that slows hair growth, and lasers can zap hair for long-term reduction. We can treat all skin types with lasers, but darker skin requires special settings to keep it safe and effective. Find out: The hair growth cycle, from anagen (active) to telogen (resting) phases Does shaving really make hair grow back thicker? How hair and skin color affect laser results How we protect the skin while targeting melanin in the hair If your hair is too light, can you just dye it before lasers?

A cosmetic “hit and run" is when you get a treatment with barely any consultation, minimal assessment, and little to no aftercare—a quick in-and-out procedure with no real thought behind it. Aesthetics isn't like grabbing a Big Mac at the drive-thru, though. It's personal, customized, and requires a deeper understanding of how your body responds to treatments over time. What you've done before, what you might need now, and how things evolve all play a role in making sure your results are precise and natural. Dr. Bass explains what to look for in a plastic surgeon to get the best results and why building a long-term relationship with the right expert can make all the difference in achieving beautifully nuanced outcomes.

What holds many people back from getting plastic surgery? It's often the idea of recovery. The thought of stepping away from work or social activities can feel overwhelming, but everyone finds their own solution to the recovery puzzle when the timing and circumstances feel right. Spending too much time avoiding recovery can mean missing out on a procedure you've wanted for a while. If you have a big event coming up and want to refine your appearance, planning ahead for recovery is key. Make room in your life to prioritize your aesthetic goals. If it's something you're going to do eventually, why not do it now and enjoy the results longer? Dr. Bass covers: Different types of recovery, from resting at home to stepping back from social activities while you heal How recovery time and experiences vary depending on the procedure and your unique journey The typical recovery timelines for popular treatments, from surgeries like face lifts and tummy tucks to nonsurgical options like injectables and energy-based treatments About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator.

Two Great Chefs: Chicago's Evolution as a Food Mecca John Hogan and Tony Mantuano Come join us as two of Chicago's most acclaimed chefs, John Hogan and Tony Mantuano, look back on their 40+ year careers in Europe and Chicago, and reveal how our city has evolved as a world class food destination since the 1980's, the significant changes in the restaurant industry, the farm-to-table movement, and their vision of restaurants in the future. BIOS Chef John Hogan began his career in the 1979 learning the craft of French cuisine in some of Chicago's finest restaurants. In 1987 he was contacted by Chef Jean Joho at the four-star Everest. Chef Joho took Hogan under his tutelage and groomed him to run the kitchen. Later Chef Joho recommended Hogan to Georges “Kiki” Cuiance, where he spent the next five years developing his style of French food. Kiki's Bistro is where he earned many accolades in both local and national press, He then was tapped by David Burke to run the Chicago outpost of Park Avenue. Later he fulfilled his dream of opening his own French restaurant, Savarin. When he opened Savarin, the Chicago Tribune named Hogan as one of the “Top 10 Chefs in Chicago. Following Savarin, Hogan joined Glenn Keefer, who was a well-regarded Chicago steak house legend and opened Keefer's. After a successful thirteen year run, Hogan took a trip to London with his longtime friend, Tony Mantuano, where they together created the idea of a English style Roast House, River Roast, on the Chicago River. The eatery features whole roasted meats, and a charcuterie program. After being named Chef of the year in 2018 and inducted in to the Chicago Chef Hall of Fame, Hogan decided it was time to move on. He is currently pursuing his vision for the production and distribution of charcuterie, as well as a blues based television show, Chef Tony Mantuano has been credited as being among the first to bring fine Italian dining to Chicago at Spiaggia, one of the country's most decorated Italian restaurants. He is respected as a mentor to others and has received 12 nominations from The James Beard Foundation, winning Best Chef Midwest in 2005. He was also honored by President Obama for his culinary contributions to diplomacy (and cooked at the White House as well!) Most recently he served as Food and Beverage Partner at Yolan, an Italian restaurant in Nashville that was voted the #1 restaurant in America by Food & Wine readers. He is also the co-author of Wine Bar Food, a celebration of the Mediterranean.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgLouisa Whitmore is a TikTok creator phenom whose content is about architecture. With almost 400 thousand followers her no holds-barred, straight from the heart and to the point commentary about the buildings she loves and loves to hate, brings a user experience point of view and accessible critique into the mainstream.We'll get to all of that in a moment but first though, a few thoughts…                  *                                  *                                  *The great thing about doing this podcast is it gives me an opportunity to rethink some of the assertions that have held to be true and cross check whether in fact they are immutable or whether there is room for challenging myself and maybe digging into some subtleties and nuances… and seeing things a different way.Like for example the idea of criticism – who does it and its value…I have to admit I haven't been particularly fond of the idea of critics for a very long time. This would be generally true of the kind who dole out the negative kind of commentary.Years ago when commenting on something, I think it was some art piece, and my son said to me “…dad why is it that you never really say you hate anything…”which I sort of thought was kind of funny then. I think I responded “…well because I don't really hate anything… I try to always view things from the other side - a different point of view. I try to get beyond the visceral reaction and look to design principles and comment from a place of applying principles to the work and see how they line up…and then make a comment that is based yes on whether I simply like it, the colors, shapes, energy, feeling , may be a message it is trying to impart AND  whether I can see the value in it based on principles determined to be generally accepted by experts in the domain…” so yeah I don't really hate things…If I apply the idea of casting judgement on art, music, architecture… it got me thinking… again…What is the value of judgement? Is it to determine the appropriateness of something to a particular context or challenge?I have my favorite architects and artists and musical performers, I like different styles and periods. But I don't listen to heavy metal (though my sons love it). I don't know that I can say that I hate it. Perhaps I just don't understand it and maybe if I did, it still wouldn't jibe with me.It just doesn't go in my body well. It's a sensory mismatch.I don't hate it – It makes me agitated. So, I just don't listen to it. And I guess you could say the same thing for certain genres of art.For example… I'm not particularly crazy about a lot of contemporary art.I have a hard time understanding a performance artist dipping her hair in paint and swinging aloft from a rope while her hair drags across a canvas and the painting while on lookers wrapped in dimly lit light bulbs stand slightly by  selling for millions of dollars… it isn't something I quite get. And I know that authorized replicas of the Marcel Duchamp sculpture called the “Fountain” - which is a urinal - sell for somewhere between 3 and $4 million each and here's the kicker... apparently because the original has been lost the financial the value of the original piece is unknown and might be considered as being priceless. I don't know… it sort of leaves me just trying too hard... knowing I'm falling profoundly short of ascending to the intellectualized rarefied air that somehow makes this sort of thing makes sense. And I also suspect that if I'm voicing these concerns or questions that I am likely to get a lot of people commenting that my remarks point out my ignorance, that I just don't understand and I would …well…agree with them.I'm ok with that. Really.And I think I'm not alone in this category of not understanding contemporary art and the extraordinary prices that contemporary art paintings fetch at auctions and then again maybe if I did, I still wouldn't spend $25 million on a Rothko painting.The thing about critics, I think, is that we entrust these individuals with being in the know, of having deep insight, knowledge or experience into the making of the art. That these are people who understand its value and relevancy to culture and somehow able to unfold the deep meaning in the work whatever format the creativity comes in and to bestow upon us their opinion as if it is fact.The challenge of course is that I think there may be an ignorance in the public and that the deeper inner meaning of things is somehow held in reserve for the creators of the work or select few who follow it.But I've always had a challenge with the idea that the critic seems to have the extraordinary power to completely destroy the creative work as well as raise it to high levels of adulation and praise.I think that in some ways we have come to trust to the critic as certainly knowing more than we do and therefore what they say about a particular piece of art or architecture should be taken as truth and the presumed value of the creation lies in whether their commentary is positive or negative.How many people have not gone to see a movie because it only got 2 stars… and who said it should only have two stars?Maybe I would have found the comedy hilarious… but not the critic.I often don't even check reviews by the masses on restaurant or hotel booking sites and if I do read the reviews, I do it very carefully. I look to see what it was that these people did or didn't like. What it was that made their experience a must see or a definite red tomato. Personally, I dig to see if there is anything at a lower level that suggests what was driving the positive or negative review? What it was in this message that this particular critic is trying to convey?I've often thought that to be able to criticize art or other forms of creative invention you'd have to understand what it was the maker was intending to convey.You'd have to understand the basic ideas, for example, of composition to be able to determine whether a Jackson Pollock or a Kandinsky or a Basquiat was worth all the fuss and on what basis you were making the comments about the work.I guess it's not all critics that I have a problem with but maybe more those who simply present negative opinions. And it's not like I should even care that critic X didn't like thing Y. It was their opinion. Okay so they have an opinion. The challenge is the uninformed may come to accept the opinion as fact and turn away from somethings simply because some one says its not good.I guess the role of the professional critic is to study and assess the value of a creative work and pass judgment on the product based on facts and logical assertions. This is kind of like knowing a bit about composition before offering an opinion the write something off.It seems to me that the idea of a critic is to connect ideas, arrive at reasonable conclusions and perhaps open avenues for discussing new directions and fostering an awareness of ideas and cultural trends.It also seems to me that the role of the critic is to challenge our general assumptions about things to get us to look more deeply at our assertions and to get us to not simply accept things at face value but to continue to search for excellence, challenge the status quo, in all of the things that we bring into the world so that we don't fill it with the mundane or banal.There's something about the critic as ‘educator' - increasing our collective level of understanding of things, pointing out where things might likely be improved and offering positive commentary on what might be a series of next steps in order to develop the output and make it better - that I align with.And I know that the idea of making it ‘better' is full of all manner of subtext and necessity to consider contextual considerations… ‘better' for whom, for what and why?And maybe this is where I mostly land on the idea of the value of the critique is that of using constructive criticism for the value of enhancing people's understanding of a particular subject or giving the creator tools to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, and make it better.Jazz master saxophonist David Liebman wrote a concise piece on his website called “The Critic Dilemma: Criticism vs. Review”. He describes many of the same ideas about who's making he comments, are they objective facts or subjective opinions, and why should we trust one critic's opinion over another? Liebman differentiates between critique and a review:“…When the writer's opinion and taste is the focal point, this constitutes a critique. On the other hand, a review should be the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation. The idea is that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And this is where this episode's guest Louisa Whitmore begins to fit into the story.When Louisa was 16 years old she began to share architecture commentary on Tik Tok. She blew up the social media sphere with posts that were personal and occasionally pointed. She came at her critiques of buildings not from the expert or architectural practioner point of view but from that of the user, the general public mindset.She didn't profess to be a building expert, to have deep knowledge in construction but rather to simply be part of the general public who experienced the built environment every day but who had little to nothing to do with how buildings got there in the first place.Her negative commentary on 432 Park Avenue - the luxury condo building designed by Rafael Viñoly and SLCE Architects – lit up the digisphere with 100s of thousands of followers lining up behind her to voice their impressions of this building. Most of them not very good I might add. Which was actually ok since there was a ton of press – not particularly good I might add – about problems with the building. Now, Louisa didn't know about these issues about the engineering, the building swaying (which would be natural by the way) and other problems but felt vindicated nevertheless with the press that effectively substantiated her intuitive feelings about this super-tall condo on the Central Park's edge.I see her posts more like David Leibman's construct of the ‘Review' – “…that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And opinions her followers had. 1000's of them.In the spirit of “…the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation…” Whitmore turned her attention to projects thatfocused on Biophilia and how buildings with ample integration of plants seemed to simply feel better. Her noteriaty on Tik Tok, articulate whit, intuition and ability to articulate the ‘person on the street's' perception of the built environment, landed her the role as host of “the cable television documentary series “The Nature of Design”.Over the course of a number of episodes Whitmore tours properties talking about biophilic principles and with the support of a variety of experts ranging from architects to neuroscientists she dives into the science of how buildings with a biophilic approach effect our well-being…Whitmore is called a teenage architecture critic. While her rise on social media platforms may have been based on the building she loved to hate, it seems that she is using her notoriety to review and elucidate…. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites:  https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

While men may not call it “beauty,” they're still focused on their appearance and the image they project. Many want to recapture how they looked when they had more time for the gym or before genetics started making changes. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, a specialist in male plastic surgery, joins Dr. Bass to discuss what procedures men want most, how their approach to plastic surgery differs from women's, and why techniques must be tailored to male anatomy. Dr. Steinbrech's game-changing body banking technique uses your own fat, removing it from unwanted areas and adding it to areas that need volume. Unlike traditional lipo, body banking avoids visceral fat buildup and doesn't require extreme diet changes to maintain results. Find out: Why tailored incisions that complement a man's natural face and neck contours are essential How Dr. Steinbrech developed scarless abdominal sculpting Why compression garments are crucial for recovery How social media shapes men's self-image About Dr. Douglas Steinbrech Dr. Douglas Steinbrech specializes in minimally invasive aesthetics, blending this approach into both surgical and non-surgical techniques.

We all want to look and feel our best. It's a natural part of being human. But what exactly makes someone beautiful? Dr. Steven Dayan, a leading expert in beauty and aesthetics, dives deep into this question with Dr. Bass. They explore the complex interplay between our subconscious and conscious perceptions of beauty. It turns out, beauty isn't just skin deep. There's a mathematical side to it, involving ratios and proportions. It's also influenced by culture, personal style, and even confidence. When we enhance our appearance through plastic surgery, we're not just chasing a superficial ideal. We're aiming to boost our self-esteem and overall well-being. After all, feeling good about ourselves can positively impact our careers, relationships, and even our financial success. While cosmetic procedures can be a tool for improvement, they should never overshadow our natural selves. Dr. Dayan emphasizes that it's crucial to maintain authenticity and avoid unrealistic expectations, even in the age of social media and filtered selfies. Find out the true definition of beauty, why plastic surgery first originated, and how even the blind can detect beauty. About Dr. Steven Dayan Dr. Steven Dayan is a renowned facial plastic surgeon, author, and entrepreneur. He's known for his insightful speeches and groundbreaking research on the science of beauty.

Because the neck tends to reveal your age more clearly—and age faster—than your face, it is a key area to address when talking about facial aging. Some people catch the early signs, like skin texture changes, and horizontal lines across the neck. For these concerns, skin treatments, like chemical peels, energy treatments for skin and dermal stimulating filler treatments can help.  For minimal sagging or excess fat is approached with liposuction, or muscle tightening through small incisions. As skin laxity worsens, energy-based lifting treatments come into play. But once you reach the point where there's noticeable sagging or that “turkey neck” look, surgery is needed for real improvement. The neck is just as visible as the face, so it's crucial to include it in any rejuvenation plan. Don't focus only on the face and neglect the neck—it's on display every day, too. Find out why the neck is so tricky to treat, how to pick the right surgeon for a neck lift, and why it's often paired with a face lift.

Send us a textWe are LIVE for this episode, with a special guest observer one of our friends (and biggest fans!) The girls wrestle with social inequalities. When Samantha dates super-rich Harvey, she enjoys the perks she claims not to crave, but finds his relationship with female servant Sum is not as one-sided as it seems. Charlotte's date with celebrity actor Wylie Ford starts as a luxury dream, but she soon finds she's expected to become more of an abjectly servile fan then a self-respecting lover. Miranda takes Steve shopping for his wardrobe but has a taste he cannot afford and yet won't allow her to pick up the bill, even if that breaks them up. Carrie is insecure again when Big takes her to a socialite party on Park Avenue but never seems able to express his love, and therefore she goes out with an artistic flirt without means she find waitering there.

Before he became a New York City doorman, Stephen Bruno's story begins in the Bronx. Growing up as an academically gifted kid, Bruno's path didn't necessarily go as planned. In his new memoir, Building Material: The Memoir of a Park Avenue Doorman, Bruno describes how he went from being broke and flunking out of college to landing a prestigious doorman job for a fancy Park Avenue building. He also shares stories about New York that only doormen might get to witness. Bruno, now an author as well as still a doorman on Park Avenue, is with us to discuss his story.

As we get older, our lips naturally change. They lose their plumpness, the space between the nose and upper lip gets longer, and the pink part of the lip starts to wrinkle and lose its color. Filler can definitely make your lips look fuller, but it's more about the shape than the size but there are other options for the lip as well.  A lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles in the upper lip and rotate the lip. Botox can also be used to fix a gummy smile.   Lip lift surgery shortens your upper lip and makes your lips look fuller, shorter, and shapelier. It's a good option for people who want a more permanent change. With so many choices out there, it can be tough to figure out what's best for you. Dr. Bass explains how your lips change as you age, what your options are, and how to decide which one is right for you.

Oooo the stakes are HIGH in this episode of And Just Like That! Lily is entering her “emo era” and needs a new keyboard to help share her inner turmoil about being raised on Park Avenue. Meanwhile, Miranda still can't manage to function in society and loses her cell phone on a beach, which turns into what we think is supposed to be “physical comedy”. Lastly, Carrie…THE SEX WRITER, absolutely refuses to do an ad for vaginal lubrication because she couldn't possibly relate to this extremely common issue, and quite honestly, the thought of even uttering the word “vagina” for Carrie is just plain icky.

Stephen Bruno is a doorman for a high-end building on Manhattan's Park Avenue, where he's worked for 14 years.

In today's episode, Bruno speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about taking notes on the job, breaking the "don't get close rule," and a documentary about August Wilson that saved his writing career.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The All Local Afternoon Update for Tuesday, August 27 2024

This is the 4PM All Local update for Tuesday, August 27th, 2024.

The rise in unused office space has triggered suggestions about converting commercial real estate into residential buildings. But our US Real Estate Research analyst lists three major challenges.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Adam Kramer, from the Morgan Stanley U.S. Real Estate Research team. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll discuss a hot real estate topic. Whether the surplus of vacant office space offers a logical solution to the national housing shortage.It's Wednesday, August 14, at 10am in New York.Sitting here in Morgan Stanley's office at 1585 Broadway, Times Square is bustling and New York seems to have recovered from COVID and then some. But the reality inside buildings is a little bit different. On the one hand, 14 percent of U.S. office space is sitting unused. Our analysis shows a permanent impairment in office demand of roughly 25 percent compared to pre-COVID. And on the other hand, we have a national housing shortage of up to 6 million units. So why not simply remove obsolete lower-quality office stock and replace it with much-needed housing? On the surface, the idea of office-to-residential conversion sounds compelling. It could revitalize struggling downtown areas, creating a virtuous cycle that can lead to increased local tax revenues, foot traffic, retail demand and tourism.But is it feasible?We think conversions face at least three significant challenges. First, are the economics of conversion. In order for conversions to make sense, we would need to see office rents decline or apartment rents rise materially – which is unlikely in the next 1-2 years given the supply dynamics — and office values and conversion costs would need to decline materially. Investors can acquire or develop a multifamily property at roughly $600 per square foot. Alternatively, they can acquire and convert an existing office building for a total cost of nearly $700 per square foot, on average. The bottom line is that total conversion costs are higher than acquisition or ground-up development, with more complexity involved as well. The second big challenge is the quality of the buildings themselves. Numerous elements of the physical building impact conversion feasibility. For example, location relative to transit and amenities. Buildings in suboptimal locations are unlikely to be considered. Whether the office asset is vacant or not is also a factor. Office leases are typically longer duration, and a building needs to be close to or fully vacant for a full conversion. And lastly, physical attributes such as architecture, floor-plate depth, windows placement, among others. And finally, regulation presents a third major hurdle. Zoning and building code requirements differ from city to city and can add substantive time, cost, complexity, and limitations to any conversion project. That said, governments are in a unique position to encourage conversions — for example, via tax incentives – and literally remake cities short on affordable housing but with excess, underutilized office space.We have looked at conversion opportunities in three key markets: New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. In Manhattan, active office to residential conversions have been concentrated in the Financial District, and we think this trend will continue. We also see the East Side of Manhattan as a uniquely untapped opportunity for future conversions, given higher vacancy today. This would shift existing East Side office tenants to other locations, boosting demand in higher-quality office neighborhoods like Park Avenue and Grand Central.In San Francisco, we are concerned about other types of real estate properties beyond just office. Retail, multifamily, and lodging in the downtown area are taking longer to recover post-COVID, and we think this will limit conversions in the market. And finally, in Washington, D.C. we think conversion would work best for older, Class B/C office buildings on the edges of pre-existing residential areas. In these three markets, and others, conversions could work in specific instances, with specific buildings in specific sub-markets. But on a national basis, the economic and logistic challenges of wide-scale conversions make this an unlikely solution.Thanks for listening.

In December 2018, we meet Rudy Coyle, a bar owner's son from Flushing, Queens, in the throes of a major quarter-life crisis. Cut out of the family business, he gets a Hail Mary job as a night doorman in a storied Park Avenue apartment building, where he comes under the wing of the family in 4E, the Cohens. Jacob "Jake" Cohen, the fast-talking patriarch, is one of a generation of financiers who made hundreds of millions of dollars in the cutthroat taxi medallion industry in the early 2000s, largely by preying on the hopes and dreams of impoverished immigrant drivers. As Jake tries to stop the bleed from the debt crisis now plaguing his company, clawing back his assets from an increasingly dangerous coterie of Russian American associates, Rudy gets promoted from doorman to errand boy to bodyguard to something like Jake's right-hand man. By turns a gripping portrait of corruption and a tender family dramedy, Atta Boy (U Iowa Press, 2024) combines the urban cool of Richard Price with the glossy, uptown charm of Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Here is a novel richly attuned to its time and place, but with something for everyone--high-wire prose and a story wedding ripped from the headlines, social realism with the warmth, angst, and humor of its indelible voices. Cally Fiedorek is the winner of a Pushcart Prize and an alumna of The Center for Fiction / Susan Kamil Emerging Writer Fellowship. Atta Boy is her debut novel. She lives in her native New York City with her family.

If the Boston Celtics are going to be defeated, it's going to be by a rival NBA franchise, not some suit on Park Avenue. The current Celtics ownership group is ignoring the punitive CBA--the frozen draft picks, restrictive trade rules and the astronomical repeater taxes--and paying the freight to keep the champions together. We discuss the Sam Hauser 4-year contract extension and marvel at the Celtics' offseason. Plus, LeBron saves Team USA from an embarrassing loss and which Summer Celtics could end up in Green? #LuckysLounge #Celtics #USABasketball #NBASummerLeague #JaysonTatum #SamHauser #LukeKornet #PaytonPritchard #XaverTillman #JrueHoliday #DerrickWhite #JaylenBrown #LeBronJames Visit our partners at SportSpyder.com: https://sportspyder.com/nba/boston-celtics/news?pid=20906

The story of a filthy and dangerous train ditch that became one of the swankiest addresses in the world -- Park Avenue. For over 100 years, a Park Avenue address meant wealth, glamour and the high life. The Fred Astaire version of the Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' on the Ritz" revised the lyrics to pay tribute to Park Avenue: "High hats and Arrow collars/White spats and lots of dollars/Spending every dime for a wonderful time."By the 1950s, the avenue was considered the backbone of New York City with corporations setting up glittering new office towers in the International Style -- the Lever House, the Seagram Building, even the Pan Am Building. But the foundation for all this wealth and success was, in actually, a train tunnel, originally operated by the New York Central Railroad. This street, formerly known as Fourth Avenue, was (and is) one of New York's primary traffic thoroughfares. For many decades, steam locomotives dominated life along the avenue, heading into and out of Cornelius Vanderbilt's Grand Central (first a depot, then a station, eventually a terminal).However train tracks running through a quickly growing city are neither safe nor conducive to prosperity. Eventually, the tracks were covered with beautiful flowers and trees, on traffic island malls which have gotten smaller over the years. By the 1910s this allowed for glamorous apartment buildings to rise, the homes of a new wealthy elite attracted to apartment living in the post-Gilded Age era. But that lifestyle was not quite made available to everyone. In this episode, Greg and Tom take you on a tour of the tunnels and viaducts that helped New York City to grow, creating billions of dollars of real estate in the process. FURTHER LISTENINGListen to these related Bowery Boys episodes after you're done listening to the Park Avenue show:The Pan Am BuildingIt Happened In Madison Square Park The Chrysler Building and the Great Skyscraper RaceThe Rescue of Grand Central Terminal FURTHER READINGThis week we're suggesting a few historic designation reports for you history supergeeks looking for a deep dive into Park Avenue history.
