On Wednesday, Bernstein's adopted hometown will honor his legacy when it renames a stretch of West 65th Street near Lincoln Center "Leonard Bernstein Place," putting Bernstein in New York City's street-naming pantheon along with W.C. Handy, Malcolm X and Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Even the normally staid Carnegie Hall is getting into the act with an exhibition of Bernstein memorabilia called "Here We Go!! Love, Lenny...
