RETURN TO KINGS HIGHWAY

Forgotten New York -

In late December 2001 I had a toothache and so found myself in the dentist chair in Bay Ridge on Christmas Eve for some emergency treatment. With mouth still numb, I decided to take the B4 bus down Bay Ridge Parkway, get off at Kings Highway and Stillwell Avenue and make my way east down […]

FORGOTTENTOUR #108: RAVENSWOOD

Forgotten New York -

Walk with FNY in Ravenswood, which hugs the East River just south of Astoria and is home to a couple of surprising former mansions (it’s one of Queens’ former “gold coasts”) but also a number of factory buildings harking to a manufacturing past as well as a surprising museum. Enjoy breathtaking Manhattan views in Rainey Park and […]

SHEEPSHEAD BAY BRIDGE

Forgotten New York -

Spanning Sheepshead Bay just west of Ocean Avenue is a weird, wooden bridge with a low fence that looks as if you could easily jump over it into the bay, or even get knocked over if sufficiently jostled. The bridge has a very old pedigree: it was first opened by long Island Rail Road king […]

JANE’S CAROUSEL, DUMBO

Forgotten New York -

Jane’s Carousel, a relatively recent addition to Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, was purchased at auction by David and Jane Walentas in 1984 (the family has been the main real estate developer in DUMBO for over 30 years) and thereafter worked to rehabilitate it, replacing and repainting several decorative elements such as scenery panels, beveled mirrors […]

HIDING OUT IN WOODSIDE

Forgotten New York -

I have been somewhat time strapped in the summer of 2016, with a (temporary) full time job in Hoboken that demands 9 or 10 hours daily, a desire to relax the remaining two hours or so each day, and then plan and execute tours on the weekends. Thus, I’m sure you’ll forgive me if I […]

R.I.P. FLATBUSH DISTRICT #1 SCHOOL

Forgotten New York -

I’m a little late with this but when I walked much of Church Avenue in Brooklyn late last year, I sort of knew that the days were numbered for what was built as the Flatbush District #1 School at Bedford and Church. The historic school, built for what was then the Town of Flatbush between 1878 […]

SHELTER IN FLATBUSH

Forgotten New York -

In the Fab Fifties, there was a short-lived craze of drilling kids in school to hide under their desks if the Russkies ever Dropped the Big One. Never mind the fact that the Big One could incinerate desks, schools and kids pretty much instantaneously if it was dropped in the right place. There was also […]

Continued from Part 2 In May 2016 I decided to walk up Pearl Street’s entire length from Battery Park to Tribeca. It’s an oddly positioned street, as far as downtown goes, first running northeast, then gradually turning northerly and even westerly. Its entire length once ran to Broadway and Thomas Street, though it has been […]

By GARY FONVILLE Forgotten New York correspondent If you live in NYC, you know that construction is ever present.  If you don’t believe that concept, take a stroll around Downtown Brooklyn or its surrounding neighborhoods.  It seems that every possible empty lot, regardless of depth or width,  has been coveted by developers to construct new residential […]

One of the few tangible remains of the War of 1812, in which Britain again invaded the USA and the USA invaded what became Canada, can be found in Northern Central Park up a steep, uneven flight of steps from the park entrance at Central Park North and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard (7th Avenue).

NYC exploration never fails to surprise. I had just emerged from lunch at Zeke’s Roast Beef, once a weekly trip when I lived in Bay Ridge (Zeke’s was at 8th and 66th for most of my time here and, after  a few years’ hiatus, reemerged at 3rd and 78th). Seeing a brick front building that […]
