In a New York-themed centenary issue of Goings On, staff writers highlight unique and meaningful locations in the city, emphasizing their charm and the dedicated individuals who maintain them. Celebrating longstanding establishments, articles feature prominent local figures and evoke nostalgia for the communityâs rich history. Notable contributions include insights on artists, city life, and personal reflections, illustrating how these places shape the New York experience and foster a sense of belonging amid constant change.
New York City is a ghost town of my favorite places, of treasured spots that no longer exist. But next best is a vestige, a vital one, of a community nearly vanished from the neighborhood that it once defined.
This issue is full of New York City characters; you will find them in pieces from Julian Lucas, on the artist Lorna Simpson, whose latest works were inspired by a meteorite she bought from "some guy upstate"; Ian Frazier, on the toll our city takes on the feet of its iconic pigeons.
