Here's a fun fact: "Bowery" comes from the Dutch word "Bouwerij," which means farm, and the Bowery Mission homeless shelter is bringing the street a little closer to its roots. For the second year, the shelter is growing dozens of vegetables on its 6-story high rooftop garden. The small farm supplements the Mission's kitchen, and it was built with a $30,000 grant from United Way. [Bowery Boogie]
