Again, I've nominated Anderson and Munson for the NYS Senate's "Historical Women of Distinction," to be awarded Women's History Month (March 2026). Both have been said to have posed for "Civic Fame" on the Municipal Building. Both should get keys to the city! 6/

Thank you! Until I discovered the 1952-1954 "Big Easy" cites last month, our earliest cites were the late 1950s. Ben Zimmer wrote a Wall Street Journal article on "Big Easy" in 2022, and explained the New Orleans nickname in a series of tweets. Have a great new year!

The story behind New York City's famous nickname YouTube video by CBS Mornings

"Big Apple" by Michelle Miller, CBS Mornings, in 2021.

‘The Big Apple’: New York City got its nickname from 1930s dance originated at a Columbia jazz club “The Big Apple” refers to New York City, but the nickname stems from a popular 1930’s jazz dance, born at the “Big Apple” club in Columbia, South Carolina.

Thanks! My email address is Bapopik@aol.com, if Garlin wants to contact me...OT, "Big Apple" -- The "Big Apple dance" comes from a dance hall in Columbia, SC, in 1936, but "Big Apple" is from the New Orleans Fair Grounds in 1920. My work's on Wikipedia!

Exclusive | Quirky NYC artist celebrates the Big Apple with tribute to the biggest apple of all — The Post “There are millions of different stories that have happened in this city,” she told The Post. “This is my way of collecting those stories and giving them back to the city through my artwork.”…

OT: There was an "Apple Stand" art exhibit, about "The Big Apple," in November 2025. Apples were engraved with NY Post covers. The NY Post explained "Big Apple" by linking to the NY Times. No one realized that the Post's Gersh broke the story in 1995!
