New York Characters

From iconic NYC subway figures, like the tango dancer with a stuffed doll, to the parakeets of Green-Wood Cemetery, this series explores the city’s unexpected inhabitants and their stories.

The Monk Parakeets of Green-Wood Cemetery (Brooklyn, New York) and Going Ape Shit are featured in Odd Birds & Fat Cats (An Urban Bestiary), published by Turtle Point Press in 2024 (see more about the book here).
