How about a Calunnia Cake (fittingly, it's from amanda & friends and is seasonally appropriate) ...

You've got to time it right to catch the magnolias in bloom. Two or so weeks near the end of April, then they're done.

You mean the IAC?

Silk purse and a sow's ear. Some of the worst concentrations of particulate matter in the city swim in the air around that tunnel entry.

One might ask if it isn't irresponsible of the BID to doll...

Uh, yeah, maybe ... or at least it will be that way until the big towers rise across the street ... or make that streets to the north & east. Then the 360 view will be cut back to 180 or so.

Plus the W Downtown Super PH comes with its own security sector down below. No forced entries here (unless the Feds bust in to check out the deep pocketed purchaser).

Usually the wind comes from the west or sw so mostly it's fairly protected. And in the dog days of summer a good section will be protected from sun by late afternoon.

It's on the SW corner of Worth & Lafayette. The water feature is in the ground (a series of high pressure spouts, that dance in sequence) in a little area surrounded by magnolia trees, elevated...

I was in that Duane Reade Thursday AM. Must have been one crazy M*F*er of a taxi driver.

They've got to justify the bazillions of tax dollars taken from us.

And you know this security aspect will get a half-ass design. Ultimately we'll end up with a mish mash of overbearing security infrastructure installed in the ground and then masses of cheap...

Yes, I saw it yesterday and the facade facing 29th looked great in the late afternoon sun. The facade facing north to the High Line is fairly brutal.

But the brickwork and detail going up on RAM...

That's gotta be a valuable corner.

But the newly redone plaza at Javits Federal Building is open, and has a cool water feature spouting out of the ground.

You wrote that last June, and its still not done :(

Damn, when we coulda had this ...

The brain whizzes in the US Congress, many of whom voted for the Patriot Act, are now decrying its wide reach.

Too bad they didn't pay attention back when it mattered.

Handy for the masses of folks who don't want to wait in long lines at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.

Yep, trees going in today opposite the entrance to the VSC.

The DOJ claims that the leaked info did pose an imminent threat due to the connection to a new & improved type of underwear bomb planned for use on airliners. And that the goal was to find the...

Very Nice ^

The rear rack would be a good addition for transporting things (better than the mini CitiBasket).

Can't wait to see the lines at docks outside of places like Whole Foods & Trader Joes. Folks waiting with a bag of groceries, hoping to ride it home.

That will be a test of NYC courtesy.

Nice hat atop 1 WTC. And now that the cranes are starting to come down, the full impact can be seen.

Looking Very Good. Great vertical thrust.
