More ways to celebrate the vanishing city
September 18, 2009 in Events, Lost New York by Bryan
I’m looking forward to this community event at Dixon Place:
Monday, September 28 at 7pm
The Vanishing City, A Townhall Discussion
Buy Tickets; $15 / $12 (general / students & seniors)
As NYC transforms into a playground for tourists and the wealthy, we celebrate our disappearing neighborhoods,
cultures, and idiosyncratic characters who gave us diversity, color, and vitality. Tonight we explore Mae West,
gangsters, and the golden days of burlesque on the Bowery.
Hosted by Dave Mulkins, co-founder, Bowery Alliance of Neighbors.
