A photo from “My Name Is New York,” showing Woody Guthrie playing while he gets his shoes shined.
My name is New York, I’m a brick on a brick
I’m a hundred folks running, and ten dying sick
I’m a saint, I’m a sinner, a whore and her pimp
Your ocean’s the mirror I look in to primp.
—“My Name Is New York,” Woody Guthrie
"This Land Is Your Land" was written at a small rooming house on 43rd Street and Sixth Avenue on February 23, 1940, within a few days of his arrival.
David Duchovny To Narrate ‘Veselka,’ About Ukrainian Restaurant in NYC. – Deadline
Actor David Duchovny has signed on to narrate Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World, a documentary about a Ukrainian restaurant in New York City that has mobilized to aid Ukraine following Russia’s brutal invasion of that country.
Duchovny grew up within shouting distance of the restaurant, located in Manhattan’s Little Ukraine. The film directed by Michael Fiore examines the origins of the establishment, the relationship of father-son proprietors Tom and Jason Birchard, and the restaurant’s efforts to support Ukraine in a moment of existential crisis.
...
David Duchovny grew up two blocks north of Veselka and witnessed the evolution of both the storefront and neighborhood over the decades.
...
Duchovny, the Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-nominated star of The X-Files, Californication, and the recently released What Happens Later (directed by and co-starring Meg Ryan), said, “I’m grateful for the very meaningful opportunity to lend my voice to a place and a part of the city that’s a big part of my childhood, history, and heritage.”

It was like a secret, a guilty pleasure, how much Nadia loved to gossip. Maybe it was the rarity of it, that she could only do it with certain people, or when she was truly switched off from captain duties (lets be real, she was never switched off from that). It was partly why she liked invited Mari to do a job with them. She wasn’t attached in the same way she was her crew, and Mari knew the ins and outs of Port Grave as much as Nadia did.
And the things Nadia didn’t know? Well, where Nadia went luxury followed, and she’d happily splash out on a nice dinner (or an average one at the Inn) for information on a rival captain. One who apparently thought he could screw over a pair of siren sisters.

“‘Lisa,” Lee was already digging in his jacket pocket for his tin before he started talking. "I don't have to be at work for like, three hours. It's a gorgeous fucking day," (hardly, you could hear the wind coming off the diving cliffs). Lee had had a long week. Sometimes, having as many random jobs as he did, lead to a long week. And even with all his energy, he hadn't had a decent chunk of time off in ages, and he wanted to take full advantage of the next few hours by letting loose. "Have a joint with me."
Computers come to New York: on February 23, 1959, NYC Budget Director (and future mayor) Abraham Beame and Comptroller Lawrence E. Gerosa examine the newfangled machine that turn out paychecks for city employees, complete with deductions. It was estimated that it would save the city half a million dollars a year and do the work of 200 employees.
Mistigram: they can't all be MC Escher tessellations, and for that we should be grateful. AdeptApril gives us an #ANSIart demonstration of the occasion celebrated today on Storm BBS, National Tile Day. (Also, as per Invader, an excellent street art medium!)
