Dialog in the Dark

NYCP

The mission of Dialog in the Dark is to encourage social inclusion of disabled people across the world. This extraordinary exhibit employs blind guides to lead visitors through a pitch-black simulation of common daily environments such as a park or cityscape. In the dark, visitors must rely on the guides for security and orientation, as well as their own senses. They get to “see” what it’s like to live as a blind person – very unsettling indeed.

New Skirmishes Among Metropolitan Museum Vendors

Posted by

In the continuing hot dog wars in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the military men have returned the sidewalk.

The two men, Armando Crescenzi and Harold Dalton, are former soldiers who now hold a position on the museum’s plaza, brandishing veteran vending permits that they say give them the right to sell hot dogs to the throngs of hungry tourists and visitors in front of the entrance to the museum.

Their arrival has upset a peaceful period there during which three other vendors operated in relative harmony: a hot dog cart, a gourmet pretzel stand and an upscale seller of cupcakes and milkshakes.

The pretzel and cupcake carts pay the city about $100,000 each to operate there, but the hot dog operator pays nothing. He is a former Marine, Dan Rossi, who invokes a 19th-century state law that allows disabled veterans to sell in some areas of the city where other vendors must pay to occupy.
