Arriving in New York during the third week in July, Bhimrao was housed in Hartley Hall. But he didn’t care for the food, and only stayed for a week. In August he moved from Hartley Hall to “Cosmopolitan Club” (554 West 114th Street), a housing club maintained by a group of Indian students.
He finally settled in a dormitory, Livingston Hall (since renamed Wallach Hall, with his friend #Naval_Bhathena, a Parsi; the two remained friends for life.
