Things I found especially interesting –

Bowery is the oldest street of new york

the origin of the name Bowery – Dutch word meaning farm

Chinese perform art theater

origin of tap dancing

Stephen Foster: I didn’t know any of his song, so I came back to dorm and listened to it.

  Fathers of American Tattoo: invented modern tattoo-ing method 

 

 

After listening to the guide I walked to the Cooper Union and walked around there.

I attach a photo of their school of Engineering building just because I thought it was similar to Parsons’ University Center building
