Asser Levy
Well worth reading.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asser_Levy When I worked at 42 Broadway in Lower Manhattan and ate lunch sometimes in Bowling Green Park there was a statue there of Peter Stuyvesant and part of the inscription underneath was "During Peter Stuyvesant's rule of New Amersterdam, Jews were given political rights" or something similar. What it didnt' say is that Stuyvesant did his best to prevent that. To find out why he failed, read the url. The statue shows how something can be artfully phrased to give a false impression. Remember that during election season and all the time. The statue was there for unknown duration before and after my visits there, but in 2002, it was no longer there. They have a warehouse near riverside drive where they store all kinds of things from parks, including originals of copies and copies of originals. There is much more to the url. |

Asser Levy Place is a 2-block street between First Avenue and FDR Drive, behind the Manhattan VA. It has apparently an excellent pool as well as inside bath facilities. In my 34 years at the VA I have never visited the bathhouse ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Asser_Levy_Recreation_Center.jpg -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

I went down 2nd and 1st Avenues many times and never went east to see what was there. And I saw all those buildings from the FDR drive too, and never went to look at them. |
