Hello Bronx Writers!
We’ll be clearing out our former space in the basement of the Westchester Square New York Public Library this Saturday, August 16, from 12pm-3pm. We’ll be giving away tables, desks, chairs and lots of books! Come take them away…
And then around the corner at 4pm a special book presentation…read below.
From coffee coloring books (and coffee too) from Morris Perk, to The Bronx Hot Sauce, upcycled wearable art as bow-ties by Wonder Lee, or tasty spirits from Port Morris Distillery, this handy holiday guide will help you keep your money (and you!) local!
The best gift you can give this season is to support local, small businesses all the while making someone smile!
The holidays are upon us and it’s that time of year where people are scratching their heads on what to buy their loved ones. Welcome2TheBronx would like to suggest the following list to consider as gifts for someone you love.
What better way to give someone something than an item from The Bronx or a Bronx based artist?! Please do know that this isn’t a complete list and should you want to be considered for inclusion in this list, feel free to reach out at info@welcome2thebronx.com
From Martin Kleinman’s The Real New Yorkers:
“As I write this, the rain falls on a cold and dreary day and that, I suppose, is as it should be, for a Real New Yorker has fallen.
There is no great tragedy when a person dies at 85 — at least that is what some would have you believe. The common wisdom is that the death of a child, or young adult is, somehow, sadder, because of all the promise that lays ahead in life and because the pain of the parents resonates so fully. Children should not pre-decease their parents.
The New York Times writes about our friend and author, Martin Kleinman on his move back to The Bronx after being absent for so many decades.
Check out this wonderful story about coming back home.
Bronx born and raised, storyteller, writer and author, Martin Kleinman, returned back to his birthplace after a 36 year journey living abroad — in, Queens, Manhattan, and 25 years in Park Slope, Brooklyn. (Sorry, Staten Island, as he quipped in an article in the Huffington Post back in January on a de Blasio Mayoralty).
