NOTES ON NEW YORK — [since 2013]

About

Welcome to Notes on New York. I'm Rick Stachura. I cover things that happen around the city in music, history, current affairs, daily life, the performing arts, preservation, and real estate--or whatever needs to be investigated. From February 2013 to June 2018, Notes was hosted on Tumblr. I began this site both to build on its legacy and create something new. Thanks for stopping by!
