Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Lecture | Family Separation and Antisemitism: Reconstructing the Migrations of Jewish Siblings from Poland Across the Early 20th Century (in-person and online)


The lecture presents a collective biography of Jewish Siblings from the Polish town of Lubartów from the early 1920s through the 1950s. The five siblings traverse the globe in an attempt to evade antisemitism. Their journeys take them to various locations, including Germany, England, France, Venezuela, Colombia, and the Auschwitz concentration camp. Some of them survived the Holocaust, while others were murdered. By combining a transnational perspective with a microhistorical methodology, this lecture addresses the relations between migrations and persecution.

Book Discussion | New York Nico's Guide to NYC by Nicolas Heller


"Unofficial talent scout of NYC," filmmaker, and social media icon New York Nico sits down to discuss his new guidebook, featuring his top 100 New York institutions, shops, and eateries and the characters who shape them, with writer and social media creator Noah Rinsky. What makes New York City the greatest city in the world? As one of the foremost chroniclers of New York's local legends and urban glory, New York Nico has thoughts. Nico gets asked a lot of questions about his hometown. Where's the best slice, pastrami sandwich, cup of coffee, vintage store, or bookshop? In this must-have city guide, New York Nico takes readers on an epic tour of his 100 can't-miss NYC spots, including food, shopping, and so much more. As he traverses the five boroughs, he offers a raw and authentic "locals-only" guide to the city so nice they named it twice. But behind every New York institution are the personalities who make them special. Nico's debut book functions as a document of a city and its people during a moment of transition. You'll meet and learn the stories of beloved characters like Henry at Army Navy Bags, Yuval at Liebman's Deli (the last kosher deli in the Bronx), Julia who serves Sri Lanken food to riders of the Staten Island Ferry, Jamal at Village Revival Records, and Big Mike and the dozens of barbers who speak Italian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, French, Polish, Uzbek, and Farsi at Astor Place Hairstylists. By hearing the living histories of New York's most colorful characters, Nico shows us the heart and soul of the place they call home.

Lecture | New Views of Samothrace and Its Mystery Cult


A lecture about fascinating Samothrace. Dr. Bonna D. Wescoat — Director of the American School, Emory University Professor of Art History, and head of excavations at Samothrace — discusses this tiny windswept island located in the northern Aegean Sea. During antiquity, its fame emanated from its mystery cult of the Great Gods, also known as the Cabeiri. The rites of initiation promising protection in times of need were kept secret, but archaeology, 3D modeling, and experiential investigations provide an illuminating window into the efficacy of this famous cult and its rituals.
