Feast of the Fisheries at New Amsterdam

The Gathering of the Fisheries is one of frequent theme markets at the seaport market–grains, meat and ice cream have been other topics–and this is the first this year. More than a dozen regional fish and seafood vendors–some from right here–will be selling their watery wares.

Your Vote Could Win $250k to Restore a New York Botanical Garden Waterfall

We know we just urged you to vote for The Lower East Side Tenement Museum’s project to repair its crumbling walls, but The New York Botanical Garden also needs funding to restore the waterfall in its Rock Garden, a 2.5 acre landscape built under the Works Progress Administration between 1932 and 1936. Fear not. You can vote for this great project, AND still support the one we asked you to vote for earlier.
