Now in its 9th year, the NYC Unifest is a unique unicycle festival that "brings together recreational riders, world-class performers, mountain and off-road unicycle enthusiasts, mono—wheel vehicle inventors, and thousands of people who have not ridden in umpteen years, along with circus enthusiasts, extreme sports viewers, and anyone seeking an unusual sight––even for NYC!"

Taking place over this Labor Day Weekend, the 4-day, multi-borough event brings long distance rides, public shows, a learn-to-ride area, unicycle hockey, basketball, sumo, a trials course, and workshops. Check out this video from our friends at Time Out New York to get a peek at what to expect from the festival.

This Labor Day weekend, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus brings the unicycle festival across NYC. Join the fun and games from 12-5pm on Governors Island. See hundreds of one-wheeled riders at this free outdoor event. Then cheer on at competitions, enter prize giveaways and see these daredevils tear up the asphalt.

The top-selling new condominium development in the first six months wasn’t a skyscraper on Billionaires’ Row. It wasn’t even in Manhattan! PropertyShark crunched the numbers and figured out which new condo developments in the city logged the most closed sales in the first half of the year. Take a look in this quick video for a peak at the top five!

At first glance, this vintage photograph from the early 1940s seems like any other standard nightclub filled with drinkers, smokers, and a singer. But what this photograph is showing is the interior of New York City's first racially integrated nightclub, Cafe Society, formerly located at One Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village. Our friends at Ephemeral New York elaborate:

Did it really take until 1938 for the first truly desegregated nightclub to open in New York? It’s hard to believe, but though black performers entertained whites at Depression-era venues such as Harlem’s Cotton Club, audiences remained separate. Blacks were either not permitted, or they were relegated to the back of the club. This kind of segregation was finally undone at a Greenwich Village basement lounge called Cafe Society—a play on the upscale nightclubs for snobbish elites popular in the 1930s.
