Author @ the Library: "Habitats: Private Lives in the Big City," with Constance Rosenblum, most recently the author of the Habitats column published in the Real Estate section of The New York Times and the longtime editor of the paper’s City section.

 This illustrated lecture offers vivid and intimate stories about how New Yorkers really live in their brownstones, their apartments, their mansions, their lofts, and as a whole presents a rich, multi-textured portrait of what it means to make a home in the world’s most varied and powerful city. The audience is taken to both familiar and remote sections of the city—to history-rich townhouses, to low-income housing projects, to out-of-the-way places far from the beaten track, to every corner of the five boroughs—and is introduced to a wide variety of families and individuals who call New York home.
