Question
I've heard that Fidel Castro lived in NYC, during the 1940's. Is this true?  If so, do you know when he did, and where?

Thank you

Answer
Marie,

I have heard of this "rumor", but am unsure if it is true.*

Take a radical walking tour
Led by self-proclaimed "radical historian" Bruce Kayton, these are unconventional tours of conventional tourist sights. Or there's the "Non-Jerry Seinfeld Upper West Side Tour," which visits the home of Fidel Castro when he lived in the neighborhood in the late 1940s.

*I have not seen any proof of this.
Hope this helps a bit!
John
