By Seth Fera-Schanes Morris-Jumel Mansion A 150 year old home is located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan. The Morris-Jumel Mansion was built in 1765 and has a National Historic Landmark designation. This is a historical must see in New York. The residence was used at […]
By Seth Fera-Schanes Summer in the city is a showcase of the weather’s emotions. Hot and humid one minute, pouring rain the next. 90 degrees on a Saturday and 66 on Sunday. The ups and downs can be a little hard to understand but there are perfect moments […]

One was supportive of the American effort while the other chose to raise the Nazi flag.
The lights and glitz of Manhattan are a serious draw for anyone looking for excitement. But once you land there the question arises, “Ok where do we go now?” For any club goers there are not many choices as there were during the height of the club scene in the 80’s.
