Hello there and welcome to the Bowery Boys. My name is Greg Young.

And I'm Tom Myers.

Thanks for joining us for another week of New York City History.

This week we're going to turn our attention to the Great Old Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side.

But before we go up to our own Greg, I think we should just take a second to say thank you to all of the New York City trivia fans

who showed up last week for our trivia event in the East Village.

For the Immunisable Arts Society at the Place Common Grounds, thank you all for showing up.

It was packed and it was really fun.

I think everyone had a great time.

The Municipal Arts Society did a great job of putting this event together.

We were honored to be the hosts and it was fun to meet some of the listeners too.
