“New York - I'm connected. This is my core. I feel like if I'm not connected to New York, then I don't even know what to do with myself.”--Jay-Z
This is the 100th year of the Museum of the City of New York. Tucked away in East Harlem next to El Museo del Barrio, the museum has always housed an impressive collection of photography. For New Yorkers, especially, the museum has held a treasure-trove of our history and culture. Not always given the wider attention it deserves, the MCNY has always been a powerhouse.
Marking its inaugural photography triennial, “New York Now: Home,” the curatorial team solicited images from over a 1000 artists, and found its way down to 33 individuals whom they chose to represent “home” in all of its fluid manifestations. Some of the artists are established and known, while others are emerging. The curators Sean Corcoran and Thea Quiray Tagle have presented us with an array of representation, as diverse and innovative as the city itself.
Featuring the work of established artists such as Anders Jones, Linda Troeller, Maureen Drennan  and Jamel Shabazz , New York: Home also shows younger artists like Cheryl Mukherji  and Diana Guerra  both of whom were new discoveries. The exhibition takes us on a wide-ranging experience through New York. We see it afresh through new eyes. While “home” has infinite meanings that transcend language and location, the representations we see in this inaugural triennial of our great city are as diverse and wonderful as the people who live here. In New York: Home we feel connected. --Lane Nevares

Fat Tony Salerno: Pleasant Avenue: The Way It Was
Excerpt from Pleasant Avenue: The Way It Was
Back then all the way up to 1988, Fat tony was the boss of the Genovese crime family and the second most powerful mafia figure in New York, next to Paul Castellano, the head of the Gambino crime family.
Years later in 1988 Fat Tony Salerno was convicted in in a scheme to allocate contracts and obtain payoffs for constructing the concrete superstructures of 16 Manhattan buildings, including the Jacob J. Javits Convention Center and the Trump Plaza. He got 70 years for that. And other 100 years for operating the "commission" that ruled the Mafia throughout the United States.

All in all Fat Tony received 170 years in prison. He died of complications from a stroke in 1992. Upon his death, Fortune magazine named Salerno the richest and most powerful mobster in America.

Born and raised in East Harlem on Pleasant Avenue, Fat Tony had his eulogy at Our Lady of Mount Carmel church on 115th Street in 1992.

Father Peter Rofrano claimed that “God walked with him.” I don’t know about that, maybe God walked with Fat Tony Salerno because he wanted to make sure Fat Tony got on the downtown train to the other place. He was buried where most Pleasant Avenue associates are buried, in the Old Saint Raymond’s cemetery in the Bronx, New York . . . .
