When Tommy Tucker’s owner died in 1939, the former street cat who had been living in luxury in a beautiful old house on Riverside Drive almost inherited a fortune. (He made out pretty good in the end.)
A great cat story with some interesting history about the Paterno Castle in Washington Heights.
If you’ve ever driven along the Henry Hudson Parkway, you may have wondered about the enormous, vine-covered granite arches on the steep slope of Fort Tryon Park at the northern end of Manhattan. What appears to be the remnants of an old Roman aqueduct, like the Pont du Gard in southern France, is actually part of the most elaborate and most expensive private driveway in New York City.
