My book made the non-fiction shortlist for the Brooklyn Library Book Prize!! Woohoo! This is very exciting for me. I did my best to do right by Brooklyn, and it is an honor to learn that Brooklyn thinks I did okay. There are three events associated with the Prize, on 9/15, 9/25 and 9/27, details here.

I’m giving a talk tonight, June 8, 2026, at 6:30PM, sponsored by The Roosevelt Island Historical Society at the Roosevelt Island Public Library, 504 Main Street. Details here.

This is a picture I took of the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island. Come early and you can explore this before my talk!

I took a picture from my roof yesterday and thought, “There’s a lot more buildings around the Empire State Building, isn’t there?” This is a view from my roof in 2012. The picture I took yesterday is right below it. I wish I could make them same size but I forget how. If you scroll down I included a fuller view of what I see when looking uptown.
