Interior Lives Visits the Magical Greenwich Village Apartment of Comedian Amy Sedaris

Interior Lives with Wendy Goodman is an interesting new series from New York Magazine and The Cut that reveals the interiors of New Yorker's homes. Similar to MTV Cribs but for wealthy and famous New Yorkers instead of musicians and actors, the series gives you a revealing peek into just what might be hiding behind your (rich) neighbor's walls. In this episode, visit the magical Greenwich Village home of comedian Amy Sedaris.

With the help of Todd Oldham, her longtime friend and design collaborator, Sedaris gave us a treasured look into her theatrical one-bedroom home, which she often uses as the inspiration (and source!) for the set design of her show At Home With Amy Sedaris. Watch as Amy takes us down the rabbit hole of her wonderland full of whimsy and charm.

[REPOST] 360° New York: Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park

Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is a small National Park located on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island. Opened to the Public on October 24th, 2012, the park celebrates the four freedoms the former president highlighted in his 1941 State of the Union address.

  1. Freedom of Speech
  2. Freedom of Worship
  3. Freedom from Want
  4. Freedom from Fear

The park is shaped like a giant triangle, lined with walkways and trees on the sides, a grass lawn in the middle, and a 2,000 pound bust of the former president at the focal point. On the reverse side, the relevant portion of FDR's 1941 speech is etched into the granite:

"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression – everywhere in the world. The second is freedoms of every person to worship god in his own way – everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want…everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear…anywhere in the world. That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation."
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 6, 1941
