Opening Reception – Greetings From The City of New York | City Reliquary:

 "The exhibit is curated by Lon Black whose interest in postcards began in his early teens. All the postcards featured in the exhibit are from his personal collection. He started collecting New York City views after moving here 32 years ago.

 Always looking for the unusual or rare postcard, his focus was acquiring images he had never seen. But in the past several years, he has paid more attention to the words or pictures that people wrote on the images of the undivided back cards."

McSorely's Ale House Anniversary Feb17,1854

McSorley's Old Ale House - Google+:

 "The “sawdust on the floors” hasn’t changed since this “must-visit” East Village “landmark” opened in 1854, and today “merry throngs” still show up to drink “nothing but beer” and “soak up the history”; expect “blunt bartenders”, a limited suds selection – “either light or dark” – and “epic numbers of tourists” and “frat boys”; P.S. “they adhere to the motto ‘Drink or be Gone.’”"

Summertime Outdoor Pianos to Return to NYC | NBC New York:

 "The festival doesn't start until June 1, but it's already humming with activity since the logistics for setting it up are quite complex: Finding "piano buddies" to look after the pianos once they're on the street; assembling a team of technicians to keep them well tuned; and, of course, getting all the pianos into a large warehouse where artists will transform them into works of art."
