Dear Scout – Love your site! I’ll be visiting Manhattan for the first time in a few weeks, but I’ll only be in town for a few days. Can you offer any advice on what to see/do in my short time there? Thanks! – A Frequent Reader Every week, I receive a number of emails…
Grabbing Electricity at the Old G.E. Building
You probably know 570 Lexington as the skyscraper behind St. Bart’s Church: a towering 50-story behemoth of salmon brick, clearly affirming the Art Deco maxim of signifying power through simplicity.

hmmm..who’s space is this?
Aw, this was such a quality info. In theory I’d like to write like that too – taking time and serious effort to bring about a very good posting… however what could I say… I procrastinate an awful lot and by no means seem to get things completed…
Judging from the view, that must be the Hunters Point neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens.
