SUMMARY:NYC | Printing Presses at Bowne
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time as we visit Bowne & Co.\, a unique New York gem that brings the art of letterpress printing to life. Located at the South Street Seaport Museum\, this historic print shop continues the centuries-old tradition of small-batch printing\, using original equipment from the museum’s collection. Printing was central to the economy as every business and transaction required receipts\, bills\, advertisements\, and certificates\, and printers like Bowne & Co. filled those needs. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of the city’s oldest printing firms. Today\, its namesake carries on this legacy\, producing beautifully crafted letterpress prints visiting authentic 19th-century techniques. During our visit\, a Bowne & Co. designer will demonstrate the process of setting and locking up limited-edition designs\, highlighting some of the more eccentric pieces from the museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. The experience includes a look at the museum’s collection of historic printing equipment in action\, culminating in the chance to print your own creation to take home. \nLocation: Bowne & Co. Stationers\, 211 Water St\, New York\, NY 10038 \nTickets: $35 members*; $45 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:NYC | All Aboard!: Dining in Transit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of the Dining in Transit exhibition at the New York Historical Society as we explore the golden age of travel through the lens of food and menus. This docent-led tour will trace how ocean liners\, luxury trains\, and early commercial airlines used fine dining to elevate the passenger experience and also build early 20th-century brand loyalty. We will discover how French chefs\, holiday menus\, and elegant tableware helped define travel culture while viewing an array of objects—from fascinating souvenir menus and promotional recipe books to collectible dishware. Our tour also will shed light on complex labor histories\, including the Pullman Company’s recruitment of formerly enslaved Black men as cooks and waiters. We will also explore the strict physical criteria airlines previously considered when hiring female flight attendants. Tour highlights include a dazzling selection of vintage menus from the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library\, midcentury railroad and airline recipe books\, and insig hts into the evolving food trends that shaped meals at sea\, on the rails\, and in the air. \n\nPlease contact Aliza at 212-480-2889 x200 or zoom@royal-oak.org for registration.\nMEETING PLACE:\nThe New York Historical Society\, 170 Central Park West \nTickets: $35 members*; $45 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:NYC | Occupied City: Revolutionary New York
DESCRIPTION:Print of “The Triumphal Entry of Royal Troops to New York” by Franz Xavier Habermann\, c. 1778. \nStep into Revolutionary-era New York on this exhibition tour marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. Spanning the Museum of the City of New York’s entire third floor\, this exhibition explores the city’s central role in the fight for American independence. Our guided tour will trace New York’s pivotal role in the conflict\, from the first sparks of rebellion in 1763\, to its emergence as the nation’s first capital in 1790. A strategic location for both Patriots and the British\, New York endured seven years of occupation\, devastating fires\, and fierce battles. Through historic objects and multimedia installations–including a recreated tavern\, Loyalist print shop\, and a walk-through “Canvas Town”—the exhibition reveals how New York’s diverse population shaped the city’s story. Revolutionaries and founding figures\, British loyalists\, enslaved Africans\, free Black New Yorkers\, and Native peoples all contributed to the foundation of NYC. Their decisions\, struggles\, and resilience illuminate how the Revolution unfolded\, not just on battlefields\, but in streets\, homes\, taverns\, and print shops. \nIN-PERSON Tour\nTuesday\, June 9 | Time: 11:00 a.m. ET\nMuseum of the City of New York\, 1220 5th Ave\, New York NY 10029 \n \n$40 members; $50 non-members

SUMMARY:NYC | The Tredwells’ World of 19th-Century NoHo
