The 8 Best Fake Storefronts & Phony Building Facades In New York City
Way way back, when I first started Scouting NY, I did a post about a great tailor shop window I saw in Chinatown, writing “I love this sign lettering that is most definitely not nostalgic/ironic.” Of course, I had been completely fooled. Back then, this was actually Milk & Honey, a super hip, semi-secret, invitation-only…
The Smallest Plot of Land In New York City

Just wanted to know if the greenpoint warehouse is available for daily rentals for fashion and alternative fashion photoshoots? I saw that this is where the eminem had filmed the video to his recent single, and was curious what are their daily rental fees for it? if someone knows please email me at luigiciorra@yahoo.com
Thank You
I have been rewatching the Sopranos series and noticed that the scene where Mikey kills the guy they hired to find someone to kill Tony takes places in front of this warehouse (Junior is sitting in the car).
