Cows Grazing in Harlem

If you hop on the 2/3 train, and go back in time about 116 years, you might find yourself in the above setting. Harlem Bespoke found this photo of 116th Street by Lenox Avenue taken in 1893. They say: "Yes, those are cows standing around an open watering hole. The middle class apartment buildings can be seen encroaching on the once pastoral setting. The farmer was probably one of the last ones to sell out." It's also possible that there's currently a luxury condo development called the Kalahari in this exact spot. Which only means one thing: poltergeist ghost cows!

The California based Westland/Hallmark Meat Company is recalling all its raw and frozen beef products distributed since Feb. 1, 2006 – a total of 143 million pounds of ground beef. The largest beef recall in history was announced after an undercover Humane Society video showed workers kicking sick cows, jabbing them in the eyes and using forklifts to force them to walk to slaughter.
