a publication of: Dear Reader: It’s fall! Sweater weather! An opportunity to finally wear those really cute boots you bought last year but didn’t really go anywhere to show them off, but now you can because we are BACK! Maybe not at 100% yet, but as you can see in the following pages, our cultural partners have created some fabulous events, performances, exhibits — some are in-person and some are virtual. Many are time-ticketed, some need reservations. All are tons of fun. As you make your plans to attend these activities, please continue to take the necessary precautions to stay safe. Wear a mask. Get your vaccine if you haven’t done so already, so you can enjoy some of the best restaurants in The Bronx. Oh, and one more thing, in case you haven’t heard—our Go Bronx Podcast won a WEBBY for “Best Limited Series!” (That’s kinda like the Oscars for the Internet.) I want to acknowledge my co-host and researcher Angel Hernandez and editor George Tucker for all the work they did to make the show great. Hopefully I’ll see you at one of these Bronx activities! Feel free to say hi! Bronxfully yours, Olga Luz Tirado Editor-in-Chief, Go Bronx Magazine Host, Go Bronx Podcast Executive Director, The Bronx Tourism Council

‘MAFIA METROPOLIS: HISTORY OF ORGANIZED CRIME THROUGH 1980s NYC’ WEBINAR As New York City bounced back from the depths of the horrific fiscal crisis of the ‘70s, organized crime saw a prime opportunity for big money to be made. Within a few years, a handful of crime families expanded their operation from infiltrating construction industry worker unions to a monopoly of the ready-mix concrete business. How did it end? This is the true story of how the Sicilian Mafia (aka Cosa Nostra) took advantage of NYC's building boom in the 1980s and gained more influence, power, and cash than they ever had before.

Woodlawn Cemetery is proud to be the final resting place of veterans and dependents of every conflict stretching back to the American Revolution. In the poignant words of General John J. Pershing– commander of the World War I American Expeditionary Forces: “Time will not dim the glory of their deeds.” In honor of Veteran’s Day, we invite you to join Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, the award-winning author of “World War I New York: A Guide to the City’s Enduring Ties to the Great War,” for a walking tour of the graves and memorials of World War I veterans, men and women, who served in the Great War a century ago. You will meet enlisted men who served in trench warfare, brave aviators who risked their lives in biplanes, a member of the Harlem Hellfighters, and poor immigrants who were drafted and served their new country with honor. Kevin will have copies of his book for sale, which includes a chapter on Woodlawn heroes.

Woodlawn Cemetery is proud to be the final resting place of hundreds of entertainers who made New York the capital of the show business world. One chapter of our history is that we have more than 100 members of The Lambs, the oldest professional theatrical organization in the country. Since 1874 it has been the leading social club in New York for those with ties to entertainment. On this unique tour you will see some of the brightest names of stage and screen, and some whose names are not as remembered any longer. You will visit little-seen mausoleums of men and women who were top stars a century ago. You’ll hear stories about the club from current members of The Lambs, including club historian Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, our tour guide. Among the names are Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, Irving Berlin, William Courtleigh, Reginald De Koven, James Montgomery Flagg, Joseph Grismer, and Fritz Williams, who actually died in the clubhouse.

WARDELL MILAN: AMERIKA. GOD BLESS YOU IF IT’s GOOD TO YOU The first major solo museum exhibition of Harlembased artist Wardell Milan. Curated by Holly Block Social Justice Curator, Jasmine Wahi, the survey is part of a year-long series celebrating The Bronx Museum's 50th anniversary and legacy as an institution dedicated to social justice. The themes and subject matter in Milan’s work oscillate between reflections on current world events and a deeply personal meditation on his own daily life, and touch on such topics as gender performance, the unconscious, and the ideals of beauty. Characteristically diverse in technique, Milan’s signature language dissects the notion of the singular and individual body, and through the use of collage, imparts a sense of fragmentation and violence.
