    Yorkville

    Hidden gem

    ["Rediscovering New York revisits Yorkville on Manhattan's Upper East Side, tracing its shift from 18th-century country estates to a German and German-American neighborhood bounded by 79th to 96th Street east of 3rd Avenue.", "Jeff Goodman's guest Lucy Levine ties Yorkville's growth to the New York and Harlem Railroad, the 2nd and 3rd Avenue els, Jan Hus, the Cherokee Apartments, and Andrew Carnegie's first Yorkville branch library.", "Goodman and Levine also connect the neighborhood to the General Slocum disaster of 1904, which pushed many German families north from Kleine Deutschland in the East Village, and to civic markers like Gracie Mansion and the Hamilton fireplace reused for WPIX's first Yule Log in 1966.", "The episode closes with Jeremy Schaller of Schaller & Weber describing his family's 1937 butcher shop, its medal-winning meats, and the company's expansion toward Essex Crossing and a new Stube concept."]
