Created by Kevin Walsh in 1999 and celebrating its 25th anniversary, Forgotten New York chronicles the unnoticed and unchronicled aspects of New York City such as painted building ads, decades-old cast iron lampposts, 18th-century houses, abandoned subway stations, trolley track remnants, out-of-the-way neighborhoods, and flashes of nature hidden in the midst of the big city. In 2003, HarperCollins approached Walsh with the idea of turning the website into a book; Forgotten New York was published in September 2006. Walsh released Forgotten Queens, a collaboration with the Greater Astoria Historical Society, in December 2013 on Arcadia Books. He has hosted more than 150 live tours and dozens on Zoom. On March 2nd, 2015, the Guides Association of New York City awarded Forgotten New York its first Outstanding New York Website award. Kevin has written articles for the New York Times, New York Daily News and other publications and has appeared on the Brian Lehrer Show (WNYC) and the Frank Morano Show (WABC).

Join Kevin Walsh at QHS Saturday, Octoberber 5th at 6pm as he presents highlights from Flushing as well as a look back at scenes captured in the early days of the website from 1999 and 2000.
