BloomAgainBKLYN is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based out of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, which repurposes unsold and once-used flowers into new arrangements which are distributed by volunteers to home bound seniors, local nursing home residents, trauma and homeless survivors, and others in need. Learn all about the organization in this short video from our friends at BRIC TV.

Founded by Caroline Gates-Anderson, BloomAgainBKLYN's mission is to bring joy through the giving of flowers & create an uplifting experience shared by volunteers & by those who may not regularly have visitors. This time around, they're working alongside P.S. 29 3rd graders to create bouquets for the residents at Cobble Hill Health Center.

Our friends at Ephemeral New York recently dug up this great guide printed sometime in the 1960s which details exactly how to find the cross street for any Manhattan avenue's address. For the vast majority of situations, you simply:

Cancel last figure. Divide remainder by 2 and add key number given below [in the chart]

For example, B&H Photo & Video has an address of 420 9th Ave, so you would:

1. Drop the last number: 420 → 42
2. Divide that by 2: 42 / 2 = 21
3. Find 9th Avenue on the chart and see 13, add that to the running total: 21 + 13 = 34

As it turns out, the store is located on the corner of 34th and 9th. Pretty neat.

Every New Yorker knows that some of the best, most affordable food in the City comes from street carts. Not the pretzel, hot dog, and nut carts you find in tourist areas, but the corner Halal carts and breakfast carts that are around all transit hubs in the City. It wasn't always like this though, and the Halal Guys had a big part in making NYC street food the way it is today.

In this video from our friends at Insider, see how the Halal Guys went from a single food cart in 1990 to the mega-popular global franchise it is today.
