Spiders on Sutton Square
I’m always on the lookout for creative Halloween decorations every year, and I thought this was neat… Spiders have taken over the entrance to this building on Sutton Square!

Though Manhattan Bistro might seem like your typical Soho eatery, hidden beneath its dining room lies a secret…
Shopping Cart Gets Cement Shoes In Williamsburg Park
Note: This is no longer there. I was walking by the small, triangle-shaped Macri Park in Williamsburg near the Lorimer stop today… …when I noticed something that I think is new… At the corner by Metropolitan and Meeker, someone has dumped a 4-foot x 4-foot mound of cement with a Home Depot shopping cart embedded…
The 1930s Bus Station Hidden In A Times Square Hotel
The other day, I received an email asking if a bus station, dating to the 1930s, still existed at the Hotel Carter. A hidden bus station from the 1930s? In Times Square?? I’d never heard of this before (in fact, I only knew of the Hotel Carter as one of the dirtiest hotels in America)…

That’s the firehouse we shot as a location for “Frequency”.
Sebastian – I have, and have been meaning to do a post on it forever…The lighting is always terrible whenever I go to take pictures. One of these days…
Garth and Eric – my bad, should really stop writing these things up after midnight…
Funny thing about this firehouse is that the same architects built an economy version of it on 518 W. 170th Street.
One more thing: I work one block down, on Bond Street, and it seems that every other week that street is hijacked by a film crew, including their large dressing room trucks and catering stands. What’s the deal with Bond Street?
Great building, designed by Flagg & Chambers – Earnest Flag also did the Scribner’s Building on 5th Avenue, with a similar great arch. I believe this was the home of the Fire Commisioner when it built.
