Chef David Bouhadana, formerly of Sushi Dojo, is a talented chef who has studied the art of sushi from places in the U.S. like Morimoto as well as from famous sushi masters overseas in Japan. In this video from Shokunin, a new video series from Eater, we follow Chef Bouhadana as he explores the small studio of Williamsburg knife maker Chelsea Miller.

On today’s episode of Shokunin, meet Chelsea Miller, a Brooklyn-based knife maker who learned the trade from her father. Watch for a look into Miller’s Williamsburg studio and to hear more about her process, which embodies the shokunin (or “dedicated artisan”) spirit.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, January 21st, 2020 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

In this fascinating video from our friends at Vox, learn all about the lost neighborhood of Seneca Village, once existing under the west side of Central Park.

If you’ve been to New York, you’ve probably visited Central Park. But there’s a part of its story you won't see.

It’s a story that goes back to the 1820s, when that part of New York was largely open countryside. Soon it became home to about 1,600 people. Among them was a predominantly black community that bought up affordable plots to build homes, churches and a school. It became known as Seneca Village. And when Irish and German immigrants moved in, it became a rare example at the time of an integrated neighborhood.

Everything changed on July 21, 1853. New York took control of the land to create what would become the first major landscaped park in the US -- they called it “The Central Park.”
