Look at the pretty colors of the tenements in the foreground contrasted with the bland glass/steel buildings a few blocks down, contrasted with the beautiful art deco Con Ed and ESB. If this doesn't prove these new types of buildings are less than desirable, I don't know what will.
What an amazingly beautiful city we live in. God, how I love it here. I've been a resident for 20 years and am still awed by its greatness every day. I've traveled to London, Berlin, Australia, and Ireland yet NYC is still home sweet home!
I love NYC! My friend who I stay with when I visit from Australia, lives in 2nd St between Bowery and 2nd Ave. I look at your blog on weekly basis so I can see what goes on in my favourite city. It makes me feel not so far away. Thanks!

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

Amazing Grieve!
People buying apartments in the new building that's going up will have a view of the back of a billboard? Ha!
Nice photo.
