Ethos

Austin's Ale House

Restaurant · Kew Gardens, New York

A bar and restaurant at 82-70 Austin Street, on the ground floor of the building Kitty Genovese lived in.

History

The account of Genovese's murder that was repeated for decades — that 38 witnesses watched and did nothing — is not what happened. A 2007 examination found "no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive." Sophia Farrar went to Genovese and stayed with her until the ambulance came.
