Things to Do This Week in NYC: Dec. 11 -18
Discover all the ways you can rediscover NYC!
Explore the history of New York City’s animal inhabitants, from the oysters and beavers of our waterways to the celebrity birds that soar through the skyline and mythical alligators that allegedly slink through the sewers in Untapped New York’s new virtual series with Wild City author Thomas Hynes! Every month, Hynes will introduce viewers to a different city-dwelling creature and explore the impact they’ve had on the city, as well as the impact human inhabitants have had on them. In the debut talk on March 29th, Hynes will dive into the history of New York City oysters!
