A Visit To The Daily Planet
A few weeks ago, I was scouting office spaces during a particularly ugly snowstorm, and found myself heading to an option located at 220 East 42nd Street. It wasn’t until I’d parked my car and was walking through the doors that I looked up and realized I was going into the Daily News building… Home…
Attention Superman: Lois Lane is in Staten Island
Haha, OK, very funny, Staten Island… Now where’s Jimmy Olsen Drive? I noticed this as I was driving down South Avenue in Staten Island last Friday. Google seems to think it’s Hughes Avenue – then again, they also insist on mislabeling the Perry White Memorial Highway as the FDR Drive, so what do they know?…
The Film Locations of Taxi Driver
If locations were billed alongside actors, Robert DeNiro would share co-starring credits on Taxi Driver with New York City. The character of Travis Bickle is utterly co-dependent with the New York of 1976, a spawn of all that New York had become at the time. Without the tough, dangerous, smut-filled, immoral, seedy, dank, sweaty,…
My Parents In Spider-man 2

The Last Two L-Shaped Streets in Manhattan

There are certainly avenues and streets with gradual curves, but when it comes to sharp angles – the kind that require you to really twist…
Who Is The Man In Orange?
I was walking around Battery Park today when I saw The Man In Orange: Look closely – not only orange hat and orange coat, but matching orange suit and shoes. AND MATCHING SHOES. Where do you buy this kind of thing??? The best part was watching the reactions from park-goers, like this woman… …and this…

no trump mortuary?
Oh, but just think about how much branding work went into each treatment of the TRUMP name!
How about the beginning of an Eddie Murphy film, that pretty bad too.
He won’t be trumped!
If you go to Lasker Skating Rink (and I imagine the other Trump rinks too) you can pay way too much for a bottle of Trump Water. His face is on the label too!
As of today (5/25/10), his face is on Snapple bottles. Snapple is across the street from my office in the Flatiron Building, giving away bottles of a new iced tea that was created by one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice. I was going to pass it by, but my wife pointed out that there’s not much free in this city, and I should grab one while they were available.
Great blog, BTW!
I can’t help but think of his heinous hair-piece when I see those curly tops to the “T’s”…
Would this also serve as a Trump Polling location?
