10 years ago, City Lore and the Municipal Art Society co-founded the Place Matters project. I just found out about all three of them yesterday on Curbed.

As someone whom has spent 42 (going on 43) years in this city and has yet to discover every inch, these resources are pretty compelling to me. I currently have a house full of guests and some of the listed places are on the itinerary I’ve laid out for them. If they could only drag their asses out of the house before noon, they might have a chance to see something other than my living room.

But who needs to be with tourists to enjoy NYC anyway?
