The Lavanburg Homes

The Lavanburg Homes were built in about 1925. This is how a young student wrote about the new buildings (so many years ago) in his PS 97 school newspaper called, "The Mangin Herald."


The buildings were located on the short block called Baruch Place. Many decades later, these buildings became part of Henry Street's Homeless Shelters. 



And here are these buildings as they still stand today, holding so many poignant memories of times from so long ago. 




And this is how, in about 1925, a young boy's mind wandered in a classroom of PS 97 and this is his little story later as he wrote about it for his school newspaper so long long ago:

Red Apple Rest







The Tuxedo Motel



in the Washington Post

"Before the advent of the New York State Thruway, New Yorkers headed to the Catskills had to spend several hours on New York Route 17 to reach their resort, summer camp or stand-up gig. The Red Apple Rest, located midway between New York City and those destinations, filled many hungry bellies and provided many fond memories. Elaine Freed Lindenblatt chronicles its history in her new book, Stop at the Red Apple: The Restaurant on Route 17.”


RIP Red Apple Rest







And here is Elaine Freed Lindenblatt, the author of the book and the daughter who lived and lives inside this story!
