Photograph of Hamilton Grange by wallyg on Flickr More than 200 years after its construction, preservationists aren't sure which direction Alexander Hamilton's country house should be facing. Hamilton Grange, located in Harlem, has already been moved and reoriented once, but that was just a temporary relocation undertaken in 1899. Now preservationists want to give the Federal-style country house a more permanent and less cramped site, but can't agree on what axis to place it.......

Mr. Brownstone is reuniting this weekend with a show at Bowery Ballroom. The Guns n' Roses cover band is led by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah drummer Sean Greenhalgh (who makes for a pretty good Axl!) and touts themselves as the World's Drunkest Tribute to G n' R. We asked them to give us their Top 5 all-time best reunions list to commemorate the event. THE FIVE GREATEST REUNIONS by Mr. Brownstone, the World's Drunkest......

"I have an inborn hatred of injustice and tyranny that I cannot express." It is ironic that the speaker of these words, former President Millard Fillmore, was himself the victim of great injustice at the hands of tyranny. But this tyranny stemmed from the most unexpected of places: academia. For too long truth and liberty have stood idly by as one of their greatest crusaders had his name maligned by historians and layman alike. It......

The state legislature in Albany is prepared to issue a formal apology for the historic practice of slavery and will be the first northern state in the Union to do so. Several states on the Confederate side of the Civil War have already issued similar apologies. Albany lawmakers are pushing to pass the resolution in time for "Juneteenth", which is an unofficial holiday celebrating the June 19th arrival of federal troops in Texas to......

A look at some noteworthy television this week: 7th Heaven (Sunday, 9:00 p.m., WPIX 11) Last year when the show was on the WB it had a series finale, but was brought back by the new CW. This time the show is over, finally. Funniest Mom in America 3 (Sunday, 9:00 p.m., Nickelodeon) Despite sounding like a sequel to a bad summer comedy, this is actually a Mother's Day special of a search for a......

So now that they caught Peter Braunstein the papers are having a field day wrapping up the case as it now stands. The Times and Newsday keep their coverage simple and to the point (Braunstein, wanted for kidnapping, burglary, robbery and sexual abuse, was arrested in Memphis after an attempted suicide and will be extradited to Manhattan upon his recovery), but the Post and the News have taken their coverage to the next level. Let's......

Abe Hirschfeld, the millionaire developer turned jack-of-whatever-he-wanted died yesterday from complications of cancer. While Hirschfeld made his money in real estate (cinderblock, "semi-enclosed" parking garages), he became a public fixture after running for lieutenant governor, buying the NY Post for two weeks and causing the Post's staff to revolt, having a public feud with Jackie Mason, offering Paula Jones $1 million to settle her suit against then President Clinton, running for a variety of public......

For about a day, Gothamist was worried that the Port Authority was seriously thinking renaming properties like the George Washington Bridge or John F. Kennedy Airport if sponsors would fork over enough money, but it turns out it was over eager speculation. The Port Authority is looking at possible shortfalls in the next few years and would consider renaming the Port Authority bus terminal; Gothamist liked Port Authority Commissioner Bruce A. Blakeman's quote: "We would......

Fashion week is in full swing in New York, celebrating the irritatingly recurring time of year that all of the self-congratulatory super-socialites take the opportunity to stop patting themselves on the back and pat each other for awhile.  Last night, Betsy Johnson took the opportunity to share the limelight with the Great-Uncle of Glam, John Cale, the founding member of the Velvet Underground, to celebrate the release of his new record, "HoboSapiens." For anybody mystified......

In a boon for history buffs and duel enthusiasts, in honor of the 200th anniversary of the most famous fight in American history (with pistols - not chads), the Alexander Hamilton-Aaron Burr duel was reenacted in Weehawken, NJ. You remember it from your history/social studies books in grade school - Thomas Jefferson's Vice-President Aaron Burr and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton hated each other (even though Burr and Hamilton shared a law practice early on, Burr......

CNN reports that there's a movement from conservative politicians to put Ronald Reagan on some of our cold hard cash, ideally the $10 bill, which only has Alexander Hamilton, who wasn't even a president, or the $20 which has Andrew Jackson. We're glad that the alternate plan of putting Reagan on dimes (which have FDR on them) in case the Reagan bills don't work out was shot down by Mrs. Nancy, but there's apparently interest......

Help me settle an argument. My friend claims there are no statues of women in Central Park. I swear I've seen a couple. Am I wrong? She could list a bunch of statues of men like Alexander Hamilton and Hans Christian Andersen, but I was having trouble coming up with even one female statue. Jessica K., East 70s There are statues of females in Central Park but here's the rub: they're all fictional characters. Alice......

Today, public hearings begin on a new subway line that would run along Second Avenue, from 125th Street to the southern tip of Manhattan. The Daily News lists disruptions on the streets, crazy traffic congestion, relocating residents and businesses, five construction sites along the route, 20-30 foot noise barriers, and the temporary loss of six city parks among the effects of building a new subway line. Gothamist is extremely relieved that we live nowhere near......
