Culture For The Non-Cultured

Hooray for the slight sexualization of important figures in our nation’s history!

Vote A, B, or C in the comments section.

Vote A in the comments section for Alexander Hamilton

A. Alexander Hamilton:

Connection to New York: He founded the New York Post! He also died in New York City after he was offed in a duel with Aaron Burr.

The Alexander Hamilton House seems cool and is just 48 minutes out of the city.

Vote B in the comments section for George Washington

B. George Washington

Connection to New York: He fought battles during the American Revolution here, and took his oath of office in front of Federal Hall. Washington Square is named after him.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED is a tour of the Morris Jumel Mansion in New York City, where Washington stayed in September and October of 1776.

Vote C in the comments section for Thomas Jefferson

C. Thomas Jefferson

Connection to New York: He actually distrusted cities, but don’t let that influence your vote, which should be based on hotness factor alone.

Didya know that there’s a nice-sized Thomas Jefferson Park that stretches from 1st Avenue to FDR Drive, East 111 to East 114th Streets? I didn’t.
