This Filipino Kamayan feast was worth the journey to Washington Heights. Lechon kawali, pork lumpia, pancit canton, rice … all the comforts.

Last night I went to a neighborhood meeting and the police officer who attended said the DEA and FBI are all over Washington Heights, all the time, so maybe I’ll have a meet cute

My body is ready….

Would you happen to have any images of the High Bridge?

See below. The bridge, which is for pedestrians only, crosses the Harlem River from Manhattan to the Bronx.

The two photos above are from 1923.

The photo above, taken from the water tower, is from 1934. Photographer was Percy Loomis Sperr.

Finally, the postcard above, by the Union News Co., is from sometime between 1915 and 1930.
