You would think that having your building designated as an official New York City landmark would be a good thing, but that is not always the case. In this video from BRIC TV, learn why the owner of the iconic bookstore The Strand in Union Square is fighting against the designation, arguing it would hurt her 92-year-old family business.

The Landmarks Preservation Committee is pushing to preserve the Strand's iconic building, but the owners of the longstanding bookstore are fighting back, arguing that a landmark designation would hurt their business.

Seven cultural institutions are located along Manhattan’s Museum Mile, offering some of the City’s most incredible and comprehensive art collections on an uptown stretch of Fifth Avenue. Take a stroll between 82nd and 105th streets to explore world-class collections of art, history, design and culture.
