NOTES ON NEW YORK — [since 2013]

About

Welcome to Notes on New York. I'm Rick Stachura. I cover things around the City that happen in music, history, current affairs, daily life, the performing arts, parks, preservation, and real estate--or whenever something needs investigating. From February 2013 to June 2018, Notes was hosted on Tumblr. Thanks for stopping by!
