Looking strangely out of place on 42nd Street, this is Grand Central Station (formerly Terminal) in the early 1900s, after a renovation of the original 1871 structure—which had become too small for the growing metropolis.

Cornelius Vanderbilt’s red brick terminal with its towering cupolas underwent a French Renaissance remodeling, which added three stories.

In the distance is the Queensboro Bridge, built in 1909. This version of Grand Central wouldn’t last long; it would be knocked down and replaced by the current Beaux-Arts beauty by 1913.

Husband and wife team Swetha and Venkat Raju started a South Indian dosa pop-up in Brooklyn, New York while juggling full-time jobs and parenting. What began as cooking for neighbors turned into a thriving weekend pop-up stand. Brooklyn Curry Project recently had to close its stand in Fort Greene because the crowds became too large for the area. Now the couple operates out of a commercial kitchen in Downtown Brooklyn.

The Lewis Latimer House Museum in Flushing Queens was home to one of the United States' greatest African American inventors. Lewis H. Latimer lived in this house from 1902 until his death in 1928.

Latimer, the son of fugitive slaves, worked with many famous inventors of his day. He was a pioneer in electric lighting and invented the long-lasting and affordable carbon filament for light bulbs. He was very active in the cultural and civic life of New York and his home was a gathering place for African American artists and civil rights leaders.
