MARCH NYC BORO EVENTS
PEOPLE V. BOYD: THE MURDER TRIAL THAT NEARLY REDREW THE MAP OF NEW YORK CITY
Bronx County was carved out of New York County in 1914, one hundred years ago. For seventy years the division seemed clear, but then in 1984 an otherwise unremarkable murder case generated a startling legal decision that threw the long-standing boundary between the two counties into question at the sleepy little neighborhood of Marble Hill. The ruling threatened to wreak havoc with New York’s criminal justice and electoral systems. Using historic images and videotaped interviews with the principal players in the story, Michael Miscione, the Manhattan Borough Historian, will examine this little-known ruling and its aftermath. This presentation is part of the "Lost in Inwood" lecture series presented by Donald Rice every month at the Indian Road Cafe.
Tuesday, March 4, 20147:30pIndian Road Cafe600 West 218th Street (corner of Indian Road)(212) 942-7451Admission is free, but the venue is an fully operating restaurant-bar, so come prepared to eat and/or drink.
CALLING ALL NEW YORK CITY KNOW-IT-ALLS! IT’S PANORAMA CHALLENGE TIME AGAIN!
Come to the recently reopened Queens Museum to participate in the world’s greatest geo-historical trivia game night at the Panorama of the City of New York, a sprawling three-dimensional scale model of the five boroughs built for the 1964 World’s Fair! Early next month Levys’ Unique New York, the Queens Museum, and the City Reliquary will present the 7th Annual Panorama Challenge.
This is a team sport, but contestants who come alone or in small groups need not fret; they will be folded together with others to form a 10-person team. The Challenge’s quizmaster will pose clever questions about the city’s various landmarks, bridges, neighborhoods, parks, and more, and the team that identifies the most locations will have its name etched on a trophy at the Queens Museum!
Two of this year's categories will include “I heard it on the 1010 WINS traffic report,” and “It happened 15 / 20 / 25 Years Ago.” There will be twice as many music clues as last year! Also this year, while the judges tally the final scores, there will be an electrifying performance by Batala NYC -- New York's only all-woman Brazilian drum corps!
Our panel of all-star judges will include the Manhattan Borough Historian, Michael Miscione; the Dean of NYC Tour Guides, Lee Gelber; NYC Know-It-All, Andy Sydor; and Webmaster and author of “Forgotten New York,” Kevin Walsh.
The Challenge’s format and questions will be designed by Levys' Unique New York, aka “New York’s First Family of Tour Guides.” All proceeds will go to support the City Reliquary Museum in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, dedicated to collecting and displaying NYC's historic, cultural, and artistic ephemera. Beer will be supplied by the Brooklyn Brewery.
Friday, March 7, 20147:00p to 10:00p; doors open at 6:00pQueens Museum at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park(A free shuttle will be traveling between the museum and the Mets-Willets Point 7 Train stop, both before and after the event.)$15 suggested donation$10 for City Reliquary members & NY Trivia League teams.
