Virtual Exploration of City Island, the "Cape Cod" of New York

Why schlep all the way to Massachusetts when you can get a taste of Cape Cod right here in NYC?

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the village of City Island, a small seaside community at the edge of New York City (located just beyond Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx) that was once the location of a thriving oyster business and boat-building industry.

Led by longtime City Island resident Barbara Burn Dolensek, this experience of one of New York’s most unique communities will include:

The history of City Island, and how its been home to everything from mulberry orchards, to oystering, to boat building

A look at City Island's most notable and historic buildings, including rare photos of one of City Island’s most stunning private waterfront properties built by the second-in-command at Tammany Hall

City Island in film & television, and behind-the-scenes stories of their time on the island

What it's like to live on City Island, and the difference between residents who are considered "clam diggers" or "musselsuckers"

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Barbara — any and all questions about City Island are welcomed and encouraged!

See you there, virtually! $10.
