This 1928 NYPL overdue book slip was miraculously discovered in the 1980s during the construction of the Tenement Museum. The Museum kept the card on display, stating that the title of the book on the card is “one of the great mysteries, we unfortunately do not know.” That is, until yesterday, when the Museum turned to Twitter for help deciphering the handwriting. Within a few hours, the mystery was solved. The book, which may have never been returned, was Israel by by Ludwig Lewisohn. A great example of the power of social media.

I had the opportunity to meet RBG as part of a trip to D.C. with one of my law school classes. At the end of our group meeting I asked her if she would mind signing my Notorious RBG shirt and she sweetly obliged. This will be framed and hung in my future office. Thanks, RBG! You’re my hero!

Cooling Off Near Campus — Part 2

Couldn’t get enough of the frozen desserts we wrote about earlier? Neither could we, which is why we found more! Beat the heat with this mix of classic and unique frozen desserts around NYU.

Big Gay Ice Cream (Grove St. and 7th Ave.; 7th St. between 1st Ave. and Avenue A)

This ice cream shop has already made our Essential NYU List, but it’s worth mentioning again because the soft serve IS AMAZING. Go for the classics like The Salty Pimp, or be adventurous and try The Mermaid. You can’t go wrong with whipped cream!

Culture: An American Yogurt Company (West 8th St. between 6th Ave & MacDougal)

Much like gelato, froyo (frozen yogurt, for those of you living under a rock) packs a lot of flavor with not so much guilt. And what better place to try than a shop whose mission is to “WOW” you? It’s all self-serve, so fill your cup to the brim and head for the toppings stand.

In 1964, less than 7% of eligible African-Americans in Mississippi were registered to vote.

Under the leadership of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a mixed race group of more than 800 young volunteers recruited from college campuses around the country traveled to Mississippi that summer to register black voters there... Read More
