[WATCH] Jimmy Kimmel Prank New Yorkers Into Thinking Donald Trump Bought Lincoln Center

There is nothing that scares New Yorkers more than hearing that Donald Trump has his hands on something we love. Late night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel recently capitalized on this fear and pranked New Yorkers on the Upper West Side by telling them that Lincoln Center was bought out by the orange buffoon, and captured their priceless reactions. Check it out!

A condo on the Upper West Side of NYC won a judgement to have Donald Trump's name removed from their building. Trump has his name on a lot of stuff and that fact inspired us to have fun with another landmark on the Upper West Side. We wanted to see what would happen if we told people there was a place where Trump's name was going up, so we set up shop outside of Lincoln Center and told people passing by that it is going to be re-named 'Trump Center' because he bought it. And they bought it too.

Here's How Each Brooklyn Neighborhood Got Its Name

A few years ago, our friends over at Mental Floss published an interesting article about the origins of the names of each Brooklyn neighborhood. Most are variations of older Dutch names and locations, a few are of English and Irish origin, and a few are named after people. For instance, here is the origin behind the name "Williamsburg":

This area along the East River was dubbed "Bushwick Shores" before it was purchased in 1802 by real estate investor Richard Woodhull. He named it "Williamsburgh" after Jonathan Williams, the engineer who surveyed the land.

Tourist in Your Own Town Explores Brooklyn Heights' Landmarked Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral

The New York Landmarks Conservancy's Tourist in Your Own Town series explores some of New York’s best hidden gems as well as some of the classic iconic landmarks.

In this video from the series, we take a look at Brooklyn Heights' Our Lady of Lebanon, a landmarked cathedral built in 1844 that has had significant historical impact throughout Brooklyn and New York City over the past century and a half.

Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral, located within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, was designed by Richard Upjohn in a Romanesque Revival style in 1844. The building originally housed the Church of the Pilgrims congregation, until that group merged with the nearby Plymouth Church in 1934. The building was sold in 1944 to the Lebanese Roman Catholic congregation known as Maronites, who had a growing community in Brooklyn.

As part of the early work to renovate the site, new exterior doors were added from the French luxury liner, the SS Normandie. Other components were also brought in from the 1948 demolition of the Charles Schwab mansion on the Upper West Side and marble flooring from the French and Lebanese pavilions at the 1939 World's Fair.
