25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Flatbush, Brooklyn

A future Supreme Court justice grew up in a Brooklyn household that prized education. An illustrator who would help invent modern television cartoons, an Oscar-winning actress, and a writer whose childhood experiences became material for his novels all have stories tied to the neighborhood. Even the list of names associated with Flatbush’s later hip-hop culture would fill an article of its own.

In 1886, Brooklyn opened one of New York City’s first public high schools for girls; 140 years later, the stunning Victorian Gothic landmark still serves as an educational center — and New Yorkers have a rare chance to step inside for a special tour

Nestled along a leafy stretch of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, sits a relic of a different age of New York City. With its ornate brick facade, soaring towers, and almost castle-like silhouette, it’s the kind of building that feels as though it belongs in another century — because, in many ways, it does. First opened in 1886 , the historic Girls’ High School has watched nearly 140 years of Brooklyn history unfold from its perch on Nostrand Avenue, welcoming generations of young women through its doors and shaping the lives of some remarkable New Yorkers. Today , the landmark has taken on a new chapter as an adult education center, but its grand architecture and remarkable history remain. And for those curious about the stories held within its walls, a special guided tour is offering a rare opportunity to step inside and discover one of Brooklyn’s most beautiful historic buildings. Architectural Splendor and a Legacy of Trailblazing Alumnae Designed in the late 19th century as one of the city’s earliest public secondary schools, Girls’ High School stands out as a masterclass in civic architecture. The structure seamlessly blends the pointed, dramatic flourishes of Victorian Gothic design with the grand proportions, mansard roofs,

Mayor Mamdani's viral clap back at JD Vance might go down in social media history: 'Craziest ratio'

Zohran Mamdani has gone viral over his brutal reaction to JD Vance trying to claim his achievements as the Trump administrationâ s. Despite facing rampant Islamophobia while on the campaign trail and beyond, Mamdani was voted the Mayor of New York City in November 2025, making history by becoming the first Muslim mayor. Since taking office in January, Mamdani has been praised for instituting a string of positive changes for the city, with New Yorkers actually able to see the fruits of his labour . So, when vice president JD Vance posted, â We got your back, New York!â with a list of accomplishments on X/Twitter claiming the Trump administration had delivered them for New Yorkers, Mamdani was not going to let him get away with taking the credit. In his genius response, Mamdani quoted Vanceâ s post and added a video of a man pretending to manually stop a subway car and open the doors when they already do it automatically. And itâ s a burn that may well go down in social media history. At the time of writing, Mamdaniâ s post has more than 1.4 million likes, compared with Vanceâ s 8.6 thousand. Someone wrote: â This

Floyd Bennett Field to reopen its historic hangars to the public for the first time in nearly a century

For south Brooklyn natives like yours truly, the long-abandoned hangars at Floyd Bennett Field have been an eyesore for, well, ever really: Opened in 1931 as New York City's first municipal airport, the area has been decommissioned from active military and commercial aviation service for 55 years and is now a 1,300-acre public park, nature preserve and historic site as part of the Gateway National Recreation Area.
