Join the NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) for a virtual Lunch & Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests focusing on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library and the history of New York City.
On July 22nd, Robert Pigott will share highlights from his recent book, Destination City: A Gallery of New York’s Most Surprising Visitors and Residents Throughout History.
From Winston Churchill getting into a car accident on Fifth Ave, Greta Garbo’s outdoor dentist appointments, to Barack Obama spending his first night in Manhattan curled up in an alleyway, Destination City tells the tales of famous historical figures who are not typically associated with New York City and their experiences in New York City.
Discover the stories of New York’s many notable visitors and how their time in NYC impacted their lives.
