The World Before Your Feet is a new documentary film from Greenwich Entertainment that follows Matt Green, a local man who decided to walk every one of New York City's streets in all five boroughs.

There are 8,000 miles of sidewalks, paths and roads in New York City and for the past six years Matt Green has been walking them all--every street, block, pedestrian overpass and park lane. A five borough journey that stretches from the barbershops of Harlem to 9/11 murals in Staten Island with Matt sharing an encyclopedia of New York history along the way. Executive-produced by Jesse Eisenberg.

This week, the film is showing locally at Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village, also in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. HEad to the documentary page for more info.

TGI Fridays is the kind of cookie-cutter, shopping mall, corporate chain restaurant that New Yorkers tend to avoid, but it wasn't always like this. In this short video from Great Big Story, learn how TGI Fridays started out as the Upper East Side's most popular singles bar in the mid 1960's, long before it evolved into what it is today.

Alan Stillman, a former perfume salesman, opened the flagship bar and restaurant in 1965 on the Upper East Side. He had no restaurant experience, but sensed a need for an informal place where singles could have a drink and socialize. So yeah. Can we buy you a drink?
