The Garibaldi statue in Washington Square Park, installed #OTD in 1888, is a symbol of the Italian-American roots of the nearby South Village, where espresso, pasta, + cultural pride remain on the menu today. We explore: villagepreservation.org/2025…

#OTD in 2004 127-131 MacDougal were landmarked. Built in 1829, they were central to the LGBTQ+, African American, and artistic communities of #GreenwichVillage — one of many reasons we fought hard to have them landmarked TWICE. More: villagepreservation.org/2021…

These are some of the hardest working and dedicated professionals I have ever met. Until we get back to normal, they need a little boost. A prayer, a kind sentiment, a bit of encouragement.. they all help, but if you can, please consider making a donation tinyurl.com/woj2taa
