The Serbian immigrant Nikola Tesla was among the Gilded Age's\nbrightest minds, a visionary thinker and inventor who gave the\nworld innovations in electricity, radio and wireless communication.\nSo why has Tesla garnered the mantle of cult status among many?\nPart of that has to do with his life in New York City, his\nshifting fortunes as he made his way (counting every step) along\nthe city streets. Tesla lived in New York for more than 50 years,\nand although he hated it when he first arrived, he\xa0quickly\nunderstood its importance to the development of his inventions.\nTravel with us to the\xa0many places Tesla worked and\nlived\xa0in Manhattan -- from the Little Italy roost where the\nTesla Coil may have been invented to his doomed Greenwich Village\nlaboratory. From his first job in the Lower East Side to his final\nhome in one of Midtown Manhattan's most famous hotels.\nNikola Tesla, thank you for bringing your genius to New York\nCity.\nwww.boweryboyshistory.com\n\nARRIVING IN JUNE 2016: The Bowery Boys Adventures In Old New\nYork,\xa0a time-traveling journey into a past that lives\nsimultaneously besides the modern city.\nPre-order now at Barnes and Noble, Amazon or at your local\nbookstore.\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys
