And of course there's the Westin at 8th and 42nd which has always been a wired beloved favorite....

Thanks. Mac's photos were awesome also. There were 30-40 people on the Tudor City bridge photographing the big show. That photo shows the sun perfectly aligned with the center line. However the...

The discussions about what terrorists might do to NYC is arguing over "the last war."

If the Bin Laden et al have any command and control, terrorizing NYC and/or America is now counter productive....

They do block the Limewire p2p ports. I'm not sure what all that means or if there is a work around but thought I would pass it along.

O.K. according to the precedent set by renaming another thread on this forum to an unwidely accepted name, shouldn't the BT thread be renamed 731 Lexington or One Beacon Street or 151 East 58th?

Even though better judgement tells me not to continue keeping this off topic. The more specific strategy is to draw America into a war that proves it not nearly as omipotent as people think (just as...

It is indeed off the memorial topic. But just to throw a hand grenade into the architectual debate about Osama's accomodations. There's considerable speculation that he's in Iran.

Curbed was the blog and WSJ was the paper.

Great! Staircases to New York's tallest! In the tradition of the World Trade Center...er Empire State Building...er Rockefeller Center...er Chrysler...

While we're talking churches...

I wondered into St. Paul's this past weekend. Wow!

It is everything one would hope for a 911 memorial. You really do get the experience of the magnitude of the...

here's a little bit more (placing more accurately at 22 Barclay):

This was the first Catholic church in New York, and sadly I found it
