Home for the holidays or just quarantining at home?! 🦃 🏡

Get out this weekend and visit any of our treasured NYC cultural institutions. We suggest checking out the Universal Universal Hip Hop Museum's all-new [R]EVOLUTION OF HIP-HOP exhibit.

Don't miss the new innovative exhibit celebrating the emergence of Hip Hop in our world. 🌎 🎶 💙

Some of our best projects came out of building great partnerships. Bringing @uhhmuseum to @BronxTerminalMarket turned shopping into a cultural experience.

Felt great to spin again! We’re so proud of our partner @byklyncycle for opening NYC’s first pop-up outdoor studio.

Great mix of Brooklynites, music, and cool breeze.

@NYTimes shared a historical narrative reflecting on the Bronx landscape through the centuries. What was once a marshy, green valley, is now an urban ’vibrant megalopolis’.

The Bronx is beautiful.

In collaboration with The Bronx Museum of the Arts, we created “The Bronx Museum Community Mural at Bronx Terminal Market” a few years ago. The partnership was part of a greater initiative to support local Bronx artists and to bring more public art to an urban hub.

Inspired by scenic outdoor locations in the Bronx, artist @LindseyWarren selected special natural environments in the Bronx for the Mural: The High Bridge, Ferry Point Park, New York Botanical Gardens, and Joyce Kilmer Park.

We recently collaborated with our friends at the @brooklynchamber to create a small business recovery fund & action plan to build a lifeline for struggling neighborhood businesses.

With contributions from concerned citizens, friends, and corporate partners — we’re proud to share that the Bring Back Brooklyn Fund raised over ✨🎉$735,000🎉✨

This month the Fund began providing grants and loans to local businesses to help in their reopening efforts.

According to the Chamber’s latest survey, 53% of these businesses reported that the next three months will be an uphill battle to stay alive. Nationally, the data isn’t clear yet, but what we do know is that hundreds of thousands of businesses are suffering *now* and are on the verge of closing forever.

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing — stay connected to the needs of your community because you can make a difference by supporting your local businesses.

Summer in the City. It’s up to us — the locals

Summer in the City. It’s up to us — the locals — to sustain and support the businesses and entrepreneurs of our beloved NYC. Many New Yorkers have left for the summer planning to return, however, our businesses need our support NOW.

In urban environments, versatility and movement are key 🔑

Restaurants have found creative ways to adapt to the new Open Streets layout to keep their businesses alive. The renewed energy #openstreets has injected into daily life is palpable and the need to support these businesses is even stronger. The new and improved outdoor dining model in our city is a welcome redesign, and we hope it continues to become part of the fabric of our city moving forward.

Every day we get the news that one of our favorite restaurants, hotels and/or retailers closed. This is a friendly PSA to remember to promote, support, and keep it local!

Jane’s Carousel started as an idea — it was a brilliant idea.

Jane Walentas worked on the acquisition, restoration, preservation, and public operation of the Carousel from 1984 to 2020.

A labor of love, she hand restored the iconic vintage Carousel, and today, @janescarousel is a gift to our community and to the world.

This exquisite carousel is just one of the many gifts Jane gave to her community. She was a visionary, talented artist, mentor, and friend, and will be forever missed. 🎠💗

The History of Jane’s Carousel - A Brief Timeline (adapted from janescarousel.com):

1922: the Carousel was created in Philadelphia and installed in Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio. It is a classic 3-row machine with 48 exquisitely carved horses, and 2 superb chariots.

1983: David Walentas was the developer of Empire Fulton Ferry State Park and had included an historic Carousel in his Master Plan.

1984: Jane and David Walentas purchased the entire Carousel at auction. When purchased, the Carousel was in poor condition. They brought it home - and Jane Walentas began its restoration at her studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn that year.

2007: Jane and David commissioned Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel @ateliersjeannouvel to design the Carousel’s Pavilion.

September 16, 2011: The Carousel opened to the public in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

We visited @urbancowboyhotels for some much-needed fresh mountain air and space to reconnect with the natural environment.

Set on 68 acres in The Catskills - surrounded by approx. 3,600 acres of protected land - it's the perfect setting for work or play. Spending the day hiking, swimming in streams, and, yes, even working remotely with their strong WiFi.

Thank you @robertaspizza for the daily feasts and The Lodge staff for creating such a welcoming community.

Genius design unites communities. Today, urban par

Genius design unites communities. Today, urban parks are our lifeline. Brooklyn’s once abandoned East River waterfront is now an essential part of life for locals and a destination for visitors.

Green spaces are critical to our urban way of life. Our partnership with @brooklynbridgepark focuses on creating a sustainable and vibrant ecosystem to support the environmental and human community diversity — making the Park a place where everyone and every plant thrives.
