And backpacks. Giant, overstuffed backpacks. What do you need to carry one of those for? You can't fit what you need into a messenger bag? Are you going to be pitching a tent somewhere on the...

Not my favorite Downtown building to say the least, but it was very innovative at the time. It holds a good amount historical significance and is deserving of this status in my opinion.

I can't help but think that the East Village buildings were Landmarked to protect them from NYU.

I like the idea of restoring the statues, that Holley statues's dedication had almost become unreadable. The fountain, maybe I'll get used to once it gets redone.

But why kill all those trees??

It comes as no surprise that NYU is behind this. It wasn't bad enough that they completely took over the blocks around Washington Square Park, but now even the park itself isn't off limits to them?

Robert Moses said the same exact thing. Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just that that was his atitude exactly.

I for one am glad that people bitched about some of his projects. I'm kind of...

Of the three later additions to Rockefeller Center on Sixth Ave (Celenese, McGraw-Hill, Exxon and Time and Life if you want to include that), many critics agree that McGraw Hill is the best. Granted,...

How was your experience? How was the exam? How'd you do?

I know there are other threads dealing with this subject matter on here, but I'd really like to know why Yankee Stadium isn't Landmarked. Has there been any debate at all within the LPC to Landmark...

Eighth Avenue, such an underappreciated thoroughfare. And it's in danger of losing one of it's architechtural gems, The Playpen, which began as the Ideal Theatre, and is at 44th and Eighth on the...

Try Bond 45 for a good Times Square restaurant. It's in an historic building and boasts some great Italian and seafood.
