Maria Popson
Maria Popson could talk for hours about any topic. Among many things, Popson is
philosophical — she’s a naturalist, a healer, a chef, a storyteller, an East Village resident
and a former Brazilian supermodel.
During her years in fashion, Popson went by the name
“Neneca Moreira.” In 1994, Popson moved to the East Village to escape fame in Brazil.
Her ground-floor apartment on East Fourth Street looks more like an eclectic storefront,
displaying colorful fabrics, tribal masks and tons of exotic trinkets. November 2010

Doctor Dave
Dr. David Ores, or "Doctor Dave" as he's more commonly known, is not your average doctor.
He doesn't subscribe to the traditional view of medicine. Dr. Ores often serves
uninsured and low-income patients — although his doors are open to anyone. He employs a
pay-what-you-can philosophy, which he says emphasizes care over cost.
He also runs several community programs aimed at helping specific groups of people.
One of those programs in the Fresh Start program, in which Dr. Ores removes gang- or prison-related
tattoos from patients' face, neck or hands free of charge. December 2010
