Jane’s Cat Walk
Sunday, May 9, 2021
10 AM (EST)
From bodegas and bookstores to libraries, plays, hotels—and even city transit—cats have left a big impurression on New York City history.
On Sunday, May 9, I will be sharing a few of my favorite Cat Men of Gotham stories during Jane’s Cat Walk, a virtual event sponsored by the Municipal Art Society of New York (MASNY). This talk, hosted on Zoom, is one of 200 free virtual and self-guided events comprising Jane’s Walk NYC, a seven-day festival celebrating urban life in honor of urban activist Jane Jacobs.
Led by Ianna Angelo of the MASNY and Cannoli the Black Cat of Instagram, the hour-long program on city kitties will also feature:
- Marie Fazio, Education Coordinator for the New York City Transit Museum, who will talk about Etti-Cat, the kitty subway mascot who promoted good subway manners
- Rachel Pedone, Area Sales Leader from the landmark Algonquin Hotel, who will talk about Hamlet, the legendary Algonquin Cat
This casual and fun event will have a cat cafe vibe, so joining with coffee and your furry companion are welcome. Audience participation–human and feline–will be encouraged. What a purrfect way to spend an hour on Mother’s Day with your fur babies, mom, grandmother, or other special women in your life!
