Old Slave Mart Museum
This museum offers a profound and sobering exploration of America's history of slavery.
On my way out, I’ve picked up an excellent book(Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged, and Profited from Slavery) that reveals extensive involvement of northern states in this grim history.
The banks, insurance agencies, and cotton mills in the North were complicit in the exploitation of enslaved individuals.
While the experience at The Old Slave Mart Museum can be heavy and challenging, it is crucial for fostering a more comprehensive understanding of American history.
The exhibits significantly deepened my understanding of ongoing impact of slavery on contemporary society and how institutions beyond the southern plantations were integral to the mechanics of slavery.

Bagel Corner
Great “everything” bagels, “cinnamon raisin” and “salt” are my second best. Line on weekends is impossible, so quick tip would be: get your cream cheese, lox, onions, tomatoes ahead of time and skip the line by asking directly for “just bagels”, and make it at home. Personally not a fan of their coffee, but my husband loves it.
