Opening this week, the Public Art Fund and Chinese multimedia artist Ai Weiwei have collaborated on a massive-scale exhibition titled Good Fences Make Good Neighbors featuring over three hundred outdoor sculptures all across New York City. The art is meant to shine a spotlight on the the international migration and refugee crisis.

In response to the worldwide plight of migrants and refugees, divisive immigration and border control policies, and the global rise in nationalism, the exhibition, Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, will be installed at 300 + sites spanning dozens of New York City neighborhoods in all five boroughs. Drawing on the artist’s personal experience being detained by the Chinese government and as well as his visits with some of the world’s most vulnerable populations at refugee camps and borders worldwide, the show will make a powerful statement about division and separation at a global, national, local, and personal level.

80s.nyc is a cool new website which uses old property photos from the publicly accessible digital archives of the New York City Department of Finance to create a Google StreetView-like map showing what New York City looked like block-by-block in the 1980s. The photos were originally taken to assess property value, a common practice in the City since the 1930s, yet only the ones taken in the mid-80s and beyond were digitized.

Over 5 years in the mid-1980s, the City of New York photographed every property in the five boroughs. The project had a bureaucratic origin: the photos would be used by the Department of Finance to estimate real property values for taxation purposes. Buildings as well as vacant lots were photographed, as they’re both taxed - and because it was difficult to distinguish while shooting between taxable and tax-exempt buildings like religious institutions or government offices, the photographers just shot everything. The result was a remarkable body of imagery – over 800,000 color 35mm photos in both negative and print formats.

Check out the full interactive map to see what your neighborhood really looked like in the 1980s.

The Souvlaki Lady is perhaps the most well-know person in Astoria. Serving up authentic Greek tastes passed down from generation to generation, Elpida's Souvlaki stand has been a staple in the community for 30 years and counting.

Known to all of Astoria as the Souvlaki Lady, Elpida Vasiliadis’ greek food cart is nothing short of an institution. For twenty-five years the Souvlaki Lady has served on the corner of 33rd Street and Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria, Queens. Vasiliadis celebrated recipes are those she learned from her grandmother. Vasiliadis was part of the emergence of Greek food in New York City — when she started serving souvlaki the only people who knew what she was serving were Greek immigrants. Now she serves to everyone in the neighborhood, who can't stop coming back for the taste of Greece.

In this video from Eater's excellent "Dining on a Dime" series, watch as host Lucas Peterson sees if her cart serves up the City's best meat skewers, and perhaps some of her other Greek items as well.
