An interesting photo gallery of some mugs detained in the early 1900’s. These photos are courtesy of the New York City Police Museum. The exhibit going on now of the NYPD Motorcycle Squad at the museum also looks good.

Andrew Wonder and Steve Duncan head to the underground of the city. Its a heart thumping short film, but obviously this is not for the normal city explorer.

For example if you wish to do some of these explorations without getting arrested the Brooklyn Atlantic Avenue tunnel has tours for a look at the oldest subway tunnel in NY. The NY Transit Museum has tours once and a while of the City Hall station (none in the near future). Also check out Open House New York for tons of open NY items like the abandoned hospital on Ellis Island, and subway power stations.

This past Thursday evening August 12 was the Linnaean Libation League’s Centennial Soiree. The celebration was held for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s 100th birthday. We did not have a speaking role, but our fashions were included in this video clip on the Long Island Channel 12 news. Here are some vintage styled photographs from the event that we took:

Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island

We spent the day on Governor’s Island with Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra at the 5th Bi-Annual Jazz Age Lawn Party, complete with vintage clothing vendors, a hopping dance floor, fashion shows, a tug-of-war contest, old-fashioned cocktails, and a showcase of vintage cars.

The party will be repeated later this summer on August 28th & 29th 2010.

Below is a photo collection of the day’s events.
