NYC's San Juan Hill, before it became Lincoln Center

A NYC neighborhood lost to gentrification.

Lincoln Center recently acknowledged its role in the displacement of an entire neighborhood in NYC with the screening of a film called San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood, directed by Stanley Nelson.

This 60-minute film has a very limited release and I’m trying to find a place to watch it. For now, enjoy this trailer for the film.

The history of the Filet-O-Fish

What’s inside the Filet-O-Fish?

McDonald's Filet O Fish

I know this may gross some of you out, but if I had to choose a sandwich at McDonald’s, it would almost always be the Filet-O-Fish. This unassuming sandwich at McDonald’s always reminds me of my dad (he used to order this too!) and there was always something dangerous and mysterious about ordering a fish sandwich from a place known for their burgers. Also…the fish was in the shape of a square. It was all really weird and as a kid I loved it!

That ultra-smooth glistening bun is perfect and honestly, I want one right now as I’m writing this. And yes, this sandwich actually is fish.
