Ranin KarimGUEST
Funny enough, before I met him, I was going through a divorce and my best, one of my best friends, you know, I was going through a lot of, you know, things with my ex-husband and she wanted to help me and she took me there.
Ranin KarimGUEST
It was, they had one in 14th Street in Union Square.
Ranin KarimGUEST
And I didn't know nothing about it because, you know, I'm not even Christian, let's put it that way.
Ranin KarimGUEST
I'm Muslim.
Tim WilliamsHOST
And my, well, I was going to say my guests, but my guests, plural today.
Tim WilliamsHOST
Well, they come from the Union Square partnership, but we've got the executive director, Julie Stein.
Tim WilliamsHOST
Hello, Julie.
Julie SteinGUEST
Hello.
Tim WilliamsHOST
I shall proceed.
Tim WilliamsHOST
So this is going to be great and also very unusual because we normally have one guest, so we've got two.
Tim WilliamsHOST
And we don't always have a second Grimshaw person, but we have not only a second one, we have a very excellent and relevant one because he not only lives in New York, but he's just cycled along the area that we're going to talk about, which is Union Square and 14th Street.
Tim WilliamsHOST
So how was it today, Vincent? It was great.
Carolyn DeFirHOST
High School for Health Professions is located at 345 East 15th Street in Manhattan.
Carolyn DeFirHOST
That is very much in between and around Union Square and all of the trains that are right there and close to the First Avenue stop of the L train.
Carolyn DeFirHOST
So it's kind of directly in between those spots.
Carolyn DeFirHOST
It's also co-located with the much, much smaller 6 through 12 school consortium school that is ICE, or now known as NICE.
Alex SchinasiGUEST
Yeah, actually, I was thinking hard about that one.
Alex SchinasiGUEST
And this is a photo of me the first time I bumped into a hulkin in the wild in New York City at the Union Square Farmer's Market.
Alex SchinasiGUEST
And imagine my shock the first time I just bumped into this lady.
Alex SchinasiGUEST
She's very confused.
Rich LowryHOST
Andrew Statterford, you visited the Strand Bookshop in downtown New York.
Andrew StuttafordPANELIST
In downtown New York, just off Union Square.
Andrew StuttafordPANELIST
Strand Bookshop, and I know what we're saying, Phil is also an aficionado of this, has been, despite sometimes regrettable politics, is a New York institution, the last survivor, actually, of a row of... second-hand bookstores that used to be around there.
Andrew StuttafordPANELIST
It sells new books, but it also sells Remainders books.
Tefi PessoaGUEST
It's still in New York horribly.
Tefi PessoaGUEST
I was doing like personal styling and I was working at a... at a boutique in off Union Square and I was working for Kelly Cotrone and I was living in Connecticut with my aunt when I first moved here and I think that when they said oh the jeans I like something broke in me like I was like this is like
Caleb HearonHOST
there's
Tefi PessoaGUEST
no and then that same day that I was like oh my god they're not going to pay me I went to this Dunkin Donuts across the street it's in Soho like on Broadway and Grand and And it's the tiniest Dunkin' Donuts.
Marcus SamuelssonGUEST
Those street cultures I brought into everything I did.
Marcus SamuelssonGUEST
So, you know, in the 90s when I went to get vegetables to Union Square Market or something like that, I rollerbladed down, I roller skated down, you know? So it's like that is my way of just like always being close to the
Jason LeeHOST
ground.
Jason LeeHOST
Street food wasn't like the thing in the culinary landscape the way that it was now back then.
34 MINS LATER
Marcus SamuelssonGUEST
And I would say Douglas Rodriguez, incredible Puerto Rican chef.
Marcus SamuelssonGUEST
He opened Patria on Park Avenue, unapologetically charging $1,000.
Marcus SamuelssonGUEST
just as much as Crime is a Tavern or Union Square, and why shouldn't he? So
Jason LeeHOST
cool.
Chris KirbyGUEST
Oh, I put it there personally.
Chris KirbyGUEST
I hand delivered it to the Union Square store in Manhattan.
Chris KirbyGUEST
And that was in 2015.
Chris KirbyGUEST
So it's been a 10 plus year journey of the first package selling at Whole Foods to where we are today.
Madeline StanleyGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Greg MillerHOST
Why not put another one down in Union Square next to Victoria's Secret?
Madeline StanleyGUEST
Yeah, maybe we could replace the Victoria's Secret even.
Madeline StanleyGUEST
I would love-
Fin ColletonGUEST
Why don't we sort of take the synthesis of what you're doing off campus and we've done on campus, and then take it out into New York City in a sort of more structured way and see if we can do what we've done on campus, off campus.
Fin ColletonGUEST
So that's the birth of American Dialogues, which is a separate yet affiliated organization that we've been doing primarily at Union Square.
Fin ColletonGUEST
We tried lots of places around the island of Manhattan, but Union Square seems to be like a really good confluence of – people across class and all these different
Nico PerrinoHOST
things.
Fin ColletonGUEST
Just all of New York is coming up through that subway stop.
Kratima DivakarGUEST
Yeah, from an observer point of view, if you're not part of that conversation, you would realize that this is really fruitful because these people are, maybe for the first time, hearing the opposite end of the arguments that they have in their minds.
Kratima DivakarGUEST
So we realize, I think that was the day when I realized that, you know, this is really, really helpful for a healthy practice for a democracy, if you look at a very small scale.
Kratima DivakarGUEST
I think that was one thing, that was one of my favorite days of having, and this was Union Square, so we also get all sort of people, people from different fields of life.
