Happy 200th birthday to Herman Melville, b. this day in 1819! The great American writer may be more closely associated with the wide open sea, but he was actually deeply-rooted in #GreenwichVillage's #MeatpackingDistrict, where his family name lives on: https://t.co/JfhaIpH1ex

Visited the Painted Hall in Greenwich yesterday, my first since the renovations. Absolutely stunning - Thornhill’s paintings look magnificent and much improved visitor experience. Great introductory tour from one of the guides. #PaintedHall @orncgreenwich
