Me on my Rivington’s shit😌

Fr tho finally got to visit Fraunces Tavern in NYC and OH MY GOD it was beautiful. By the time we got there, the museum section was only open for literally 6 minutes. But they were super nice and let us look around anyways even though I didn’t get to do a super in depth look at everything. I got a pic of Benny Boy’s diary and I found it hilarious that the museum had a funko pop figure display of Georgie crossing the Delaware. We also saw Trinity Church on the way to the Tavern so of course I had to visit Alex😌

Also unrelated to the tavern but we saw Sweeney Todd on Broadway and I got to talk to Gaten Matarazzo at the stage door. Such an excellent show it was a childhood dream come true to be able to see Sweeney Todd on stage.

Bertram Hartman, Trinity Church and Wall Street, 1929. Oil on canvas.

Skyscrapers loom above older buildings, planes fly overhead, and people crowd the sidewalks in this dramatic bird’s-eye view of Manhattan’s Wall Street. Bertram Hartman’s meaning may not be quite so straightforward, however. He painted Trinity Church and Wall Street in the year of a great stock market crash that devastated the nation’s economy. By showing the gothic spires of Trinity Church overshadowed by skyscrapers, Hartman may have intended his viewers to contemplate the relationship between spiritual and material needs in modern life.

Actually, it looks to me that the church spire is holding its own. In reality, the building is tiny compared with the surrounding behemoths.
