'Drop Dead City' Revisits New York City's Brink of Financial Ruin

3 days ago | 27east.com | Michelle Trauring

Growing up in Buffalo, Peter Yost had a relatively conventional childhood. He would even go so far as to call it boring, especially when compared to that of his friend, Michael Rohatyn. It came up casually, Yost recalled last week, that in the middle of the night, a helicopter landed on his lawn and the then governor of New York, Hugh Carey, jumped out. Rohatyn corrected a few embellishments. “It wasn’t at night,” he said. “It wasn’t?” Yost asked. “No,” he said.

Jaime Lopez loves artist studios — from basement, attics and purpose-built spaces to factory warehouses with a handful of assistants, all working with a common goal.

She wove between social events and news happenings, photo ops and candid slices of life — coming and going from the smoke-filled newsroom on her own schedule, explained former editor Peter Boody, where she spent most of her time in the darkroom. When she emerged on Tuesday mornings, in her apron — “a fresh and bright face among us trolls,” he said — she would hang black-and-white photos on a clothesline just outside her door.

2 weeks ago | 27east.com | Michelle Trauring

John Monsky is a collector of stories. They are tales of resilience and ingenuity, bravery and tragedy, told from the frontlines of war, historic campaign trails and even the surface of the moon, spanning the last two and a half centuries. They all live within the stars and stripes of American flags — or, at the very least, what’s left of them. “I don’t see myself as owner of these flags. Nobody should,” Monsky said.
