Final St. John Post! How Much We Spent, How To Greet Islanders, and Am I A Shill??

I hope you’ve enjoyed my recent posts on St. John. Like most people, I always assumed the Virgin Islands were just some pretty beaches and pleasant rum drinks. The fact that over 60% of St. John has been protected as a National Park, from its beaches… …to its forests…

Real quick, I wanted to talk about something that’s totally off topic, but is important to me. Recently, this video of a reporter suffering aphasia, or an inability to speak correctly, went viral. CBS reporter Serene Branson was about to give a live report after the Grammy’s when she found that her words just weren’t…

  3. I’ve been splitting my votes between Jefferson Market (Courthouse) Library & South Ellis Island Hospital(s).
    Both are beyond deserving. Both need more votes to at least crack the top 10. Ideally, top 4.

  9. So so so difficult to choose !! So far I have voted for Greenpoint, Helen Hayes, and Ellis Island (after your post).

  11. I voted for The Apollo Theater today. The historical signifigance to the music world is amazing.

  13. I have been alternating votes for Ellis Island South Side Hospitals and Gateway National Recreation Area – C47 Skytrain WWII Transport

    @jadedturtle

  15. I voted for the Coney Island B&B Carousell – a reminder of Coney Island’s heyday.

  16. I voted for Cleopatra’s Needle… because, seriously, that is some amazing history.

  18. I’ve been dividing my votes between the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, the Astoria Pool, and the Queens County Farm Museum. @flimlim

  20. I voted for Cleopatra’s needle! When I visit NY next, I’ll be sure to check it out! Thanks!

  21. Queens County Farm Museum. Because I went there this summer and it blew my mind that something like it has managed to continually exist for so long. And I feel like it’s not very well known and needs my vote.

  22. There are so many I would like to support but I’ve been throwing my daily vote at the Helen Hayes Theatre. I walk past it every day and would love for them to be able to restore it.

  23. I voted for the Brooklyn Public Library, mainly bc so many people use it from all backgrounds and I think it might have been more subject to budget cuts these past few years.

  25. I love what Congregation Beth Elohim is doing in the community, not to mention their super-cool architect-designed sukkah from this past year. Bring it on. @cmgold

  26. So many deserving places. I’ve been voting for the Brooklyn Public Library which is #1 currently and the Alice Austen House.

  27. I’ve split my votes between the Louis Armstrong House and the Rocket Thrower.

    (Doesn’t the Guggenheim have a large enough endowment to restore their doors on their own?)

  28. I voted for Ellis Island, they are in the most need and deserve to be funded.

  31. I voted for Ellis Island. Would love if they could open up the hospital buildings one day! @katedeux

  34. Brooklyn Public Library has been struggling it’s way into existence since it was founded in 1907. They’ve got my votes.

  35. I voted for the Coney Island Carousel as well! So many great childhood memories for me.

  37. I voted for the doors at Brooklyn’s Central Library. I’ve been going there for 11 years and they are absolutely beautiful!

  39. Voted for Lower Eastside Tenements. A difficult choice because they are all so worthy.

  44. I voted for the Erasmus Hall Campus – Stained Glass Windows. My mother graduated from there 57 years ago.

  48. Jefferson Market–such a humble request (replacing the doors), yet it’d make such a huge difference in the neighborhood!

  51. I voted for Federal Hall and the Statue of George Washington. New York history is American history!

  53. I voted for the Ellis Island South Side Hospitals. What is more integral to New York City’s beauty and complexity than its immigration history? @cosmopsis

  59. Voting for the Rocket Thrower everyday…this grand reminder of space age wonder deserves to be cleaned up! @bldglvr

  61. I voted for Second Stage Theater’s restoration of the Helen Hayes theater. I’ve been voting for it everyday!! @gladyssantiago

  63. I voted for the Intrepid Museum – Growler Submarine. It’s the coolest project by far! @ashley_m_allen

  65. Last week I voted for the Brooklyn Library. Today I voted for the LES Tenement Museum (it’s one of my favorite places to send NY tourists). Next up: Ellis Island South Side Hospitals (your post last week was amazing!)

  70. Ive been splitting my votes between City Island Nautical Museum and the Ellis Island Hospital.

  75. I vote every day for Erasmus High School, the only NYC public school on the list.

  85. Voted for (every day) the Queens County Farm Museum, which is close to home, and very deserving of support!

  94. I stumbled across your site and have spent hours scrolling through old entries. I think this contest is great-I voted for the Second Stage Helen Hayes Theatre.

  99. Voted for Ellis Island South Side Hospitals after recently discovering them on here! @tjlull
