If you are looking for cherry blossoms in New York City, Untapped Cities has put together a guide covering spots from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Green-Wood Cemetery to Sakura Park in Manhattan, Hunter's Point South in Queens, and on Staten Island at Snug Harbor and Silver Lake Park. Some of the trees trace back to Japan's original 1912 gift to the United States. A beautiful and practical read for spring. #CherryBlossoms #NYC #StatenIsland #UntappedNY #Spring https://www.untappedcities.com/cherry-blossom-trees-in-nyc-2/

Untapped Cities takes a look at the Conference House in Tottenville, where Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge met with British Admiral Lord Howe in September 1776, and the war nearly ended. I am featured in their video archive discussing Tottenville's overlooked history. If you love local history, this one is worth your time. #Tottenville #StatenIsland #AmericanRevolution #LocalHistory https://www.untappedcities.com/evolutionary-peace-conference-staten-island/
