Join author Joyce Milambiling for a captivating book talk and signing event featuring her highly anticipated new release, "Skyscraper Settlement: The Many Lives of Christodora House." This thought-provoking book delves into the rich history of Christodora House and its significant role in promoting social justice in New York City. 

During the early 1900s, the Lower East Side of Manhattan was densely populated, with over 300,000 residents per square mile, primarily comprised of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. In response to the urgent needs of these newcomers, settlement houses were established across the city, with University Settlement leading the way as the first in the United States in 1886. 

However, the story of Christodora House, located across from Tompkins Square Park, remains lesser-known. Originally known as the Young Women’s Settlement, it served as a vital resource for thousands of New Yorkers, offering classes, clubs, recreational activities, and essential medical and dental clinics. More than just a historical account, "Skyscraper Settlement" sheds light on a pioneering movement shaped by women, which continues to hold a hopeful message for our present-day society.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to meet Joyce Milambiling and gain valuable insights into the fascinating history of Christodora House. The event will take place at the prestigious University Settlement's Speyer Hall, conveniently located at 184 Eldridge Street, New York, NY 10002. Copies of "Skyscraper Settlement" will be available for purchase at the venue or can be ordered from NYU Press. Mark your calendars for November 1, 2023, and join us for this enlightening book talk. Admission is free, so reserve your spot today.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a world-class art museum located in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting:

2. Exquisite artworks: Whether it is paintings, sculptures or crafts, the artworks in the museum make me feel the talent and innovative spirit of the artists.

3. Strong interactivity: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which allows visitors to better understand and appreciate the artworks.

4. Strong educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed. For me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art.

5. Spacious and comfortable: The space layout of the museum is reasonable, which makes people feel very comfortable. Even when there are a lot of people, it will not feel crowded.

In general, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a very pleasant experience, and I strongly recommend that you must go and see it if you have the opportunity.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

There were many tourists on the first day of the new year, but there were not many people in China, and the waiting time was reasonable. . .
The wind on the roof was too strong. The 80th floor was indoors, and there was reflection when taking pictures. You can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outdoors, and you can overlook the whole New York.
