W42ST - “Hell’s Kitchen is a Hub for Artists, So I Feel Right at Home” — Dancer Olivia Bowman-Jackson’s West Side Story
Dancer and dance instructor Olivia Bowman-Jackson grew up in Brooklyn and travelled widely through her work — but now calls Manhattan Plaza home. This is Olivia’s West Side Story. Olivia Bowman, a dancer and dance instructor, walking around her favorite places in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. So what’s your New York story? Born here, or just arrived? I grew up in Brooklyn, in Starrett City — a true melting pot and a neighborhood that had everything within it: schools, banks, stores, restaurants, a community center, parks, and handball and basketball courts in every section. It really felt like its own little world.
