Seguine Mansion is a nearly-two-century-old house and estate on Staten Island's south shore in Prince's Bay. Now a New York City Landmark, and a National Historic Site, this mansion is open to the public as a cultural center and museum. But what makes the mansion so special? Watch this great mini-documentary from James Verdi to find out.

James Verdi's beautifully produced film about the early 1800s Seguine Mansion, and a tribute to George Burke's tireless efforts to save "the last of the great old plantations on Staten Island." George is featured prominently in this film, discussing how he came to buy this historic house, and how he managed to furnish it with antiques from England. Fascinating narrative!

For Women's History Month 2018 this March, food-delivery service GrubHub created a special website called RestaurantHER that highlights all restaurants that are owned, co-owned, or partnered with women. If you order from these restaurants on the site, GrubHub will donate $1 to the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs organization to help work towards equality on the restaurant industry. Currently only 19% of chefs are women, and it's time for that to change.

Pledge to dine in or order from a woman-led restaurant this March. Grubhub will contribute $1 up to $1 million for every pledge to dine in or order from women-led restaurants. The first $100,000 will be contributed to the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs organization to advance women in the culinary industry.

Check out RestaurantHER to support woman-owned restaurants in your neighborhood and borough.

A gift from Egypt in 1880, the 69-foot, 220-ton granite Central Park Obelisk—better known as Cleopatra's Needle—is shown here on a special cargo ship in dry dock in Egypt prior to making its way across the Atlantic, up the Hudson, and across Manhattan into Central Park. The process was quite an accomplishment for it's time:

The Obelisk had to be lowered in Alexandria, moved to a ship with the aid of parallel beams, unloaded in New York, transported to its new site, and raised again. The Obelisk reached the banks of the Hudson River in 1880, and a special railroad was built to transport it to Central Park. It took 19 days to cross the 86th Street Transverse Road, and another 20 days to move it from Fifth Avenue to its current home - a blizzard hindering the process.
