And tonight on East 13th Street … there's the unveiling of the directionally named Thirteen East + West at 436 and 442 E. 13th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue… here's the invite that several EVG readers received for some reason



There will be a street-art competition and other stuff. The broker is Ryan Serhant, one of the real-estate agents featured on Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing New York." One invitee told us that Bravo will be shooting scenes for the show tonight.

Per the description of the new condos: "Each building has 6 floor-through homes, all with private outdoor space. The penthouses have their own private garages and incredible roof decks. Two and Three bedrooms. Pricing from $2.3M. Penthouses start at $3.4M."

Updated 8:27 p.m.

Hey there are no surveillance drones showing in the illustration - how unrealistic is _this_ depiction?

It's all just so lame. I hope the 'artists' got paid at least.

You have to admit, the art IS nice, tho.
Art 1, Douchebaggery 0.

i love how these Luxury Condo Kings (soulless capitalist leeches) completely lack any semblance of originality or creativity (other than the clever ways the manipulate markets to make more money for themselves), always try SO DAMN HARD to attach a piece of real culture (ie: Street Art, Bike Messengers, Hip Hop, etc) to their lame product in an attempt to "blend in" to the city's neighborhoods that they're deliberately dismantling through gentrification and out pricing the locals.

it's truly a Wolf in Sheep's clothing scene.

Too bad the murals can't be left as they are.
