It is named after James Rivington, who under cover of writing one of the most infamous Loyalist newspapers in the American colonies, secretly ran a spy ring that supplied George Washington with information. Early in the 20th century, it was the home of many Italian and Jewish immigrants was hence the birthplace of many 2nd generation Italian and Jewish Americans. George Burns lived there for a time.
The site of the second African burial ground in New York lies between Rivington and Stanton Streets, now a playground in the Sara D. Roosevelt Park. The M'Finda Kalunga community garden is also at this location. Several functioning synagogues remain on Rivington Street, a reminder of the large Jewish immigrant population that once inhabited the Lower East Side.
Rivington Street was a station on the demolished IRT Second Avenue Line on the New York City Subway. It had two levels. The lower level had two tracks and two side platforms and the upper level had one track that served the express trains. The next stop to the north was First Street. The next stop to the south was Grand Street. The station closed on June 13, 1942.
Life in the Middle Ages centred on the families who owned the manor in what was then an isolated rural community. Agriculture, hand loom weaving, quarrying and mining occupied the few inhabitants until the middle of the 19th century. A chapel built before 1541 was replaced by the present church in 1666 and by 1703 Nonconformism led to the building of a Presbyterian church, now a Unitarian Chapel. A grammar school was founded by charter of Queen Elizabeth I in 1556.
Construction of reservoirs for Liverpool Corporation in the mid-19th century led to a decrease in the population when farms were cleared, the valley flooded and property in the western part of the village demolished. William Lever bought the Rivington Hall estate at the turn of the 20th century and used his wealth to renovate the old barns and create a large public park.
Rivington, or Rivington's, also called Rivington & Co., was a London-based publishing company founded by Charles Rivington (1688–1742), originally from Derbyshire, and continued by his sons and grandsons.
History
In 1736 Charles Rivington and a partner called Bettesworth founded a company of booksellers called "The New Conger", rivalling an older firm called "The Conger" that dated from about 1700. From selling books, Rivington moved on to the business of publishing books. In 1741 he published the first volume of Samuel Richardson's novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded. Both men were from Derbyshire, and Rivington had persuaded Richardson to write a novel in the form of a correspondence.
After his death in 1742, Charles Rivington was succeeded by his two sons, John (1720–1792) and James Rivington (1724–1802). James emigrated to the United States, where he pursued his trade in New York City; John carried on the business on the lines marked out by his father and went on to become the great Church of England publisher of his day. In 1760, he was appointed publisher to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and the firm kept up this relationship for over seventy years. After admitting his sons Francis (1745–1822) and Charles (1754–1831) into partnership, Rivington took on for the "New Conger" Association the publication of standard editions of the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Locke, and other English classics. John Rivington died on 16 January 1792.

Unfinished High Rises Line Ludlow
http://bit.ly/4uqLBK Around the corner from Katz's Deli, Ludlow's tenement-lined street is punctuated with three stalled construction projects, all within a block of one another.
171 Ludlow St., 179 Ludlow St., and 180 Ludlow St. are all unfinished high rises future condominiums and boutique hotels fenced off by cement barriers and steel scaffolding plastered by peeling posters.
There are at least 66 stalled construction sites like these across Manhattan, according to the Department of Buildings, much to the annoyance of local residents, business owners, and developers, as they struggle to secure financing in a bad economy.

How Movies Coped When the Wrong People Went to See Them -- A presentation by Russell Merritt
American movies got their start sharing the stage with vaudeville acts, illustrated songs, and lecturers in frock coats. For 10 or 15 cents (nickelodeons were seldom a nickel) you could watch movies, hear the latest songs, and if you wanted, join in the chorus.
But who went to the movies? In an illustrated talk by Russell Merritt, we will see how nickelodeons were used to build audiences, transforming movies from an immigrant distraction to a middle class entertainment.

It is named after James Rivington, who under cover of writing one of the most infamous Loyalist newspapers in the American colonies, secretly ran a spy ring that supplied George Washington with information. Early in the 20th century, it was the home of many Italian and Jewish immigrants was hence the birthplace of many 2nd generation Italian and Jewish Americans. George Burns lived there for a time.
The site of the second African burial ground in New York lies between Rivington and Stanton Streets, now a playground in the Sara D. Roosevelt Park. The M'Finda Kalunga community garden is also at this location. Several functioning synagogues remain on Rivington Street, a reminder of the large Jewish immigrant population that once inhabited the Lower East Side.
