Anyway, last evening around 10, our own Mrs. Grieve is in a cab waiting for the light to change on East 10th Street near First Avenue. At that moment, the front door to the Theater For The New City Building opens and Daniel Craig walks out. He heads to the curb, tosses his gum into the street and turns to wait for other people coming out the door — a woman in her late 50s and Rachel Weisz. Then the light turns and the cab moves on...
Maybe they were at a party. Or maybe they are the people who are buying the $4.95 million penthouse here that went into contract in the summer:
This full-floor apartment is truly one-of-a-kind with unobstructed views in every room from all four exposures and over-sized windows! The views include the Empire State bldg., Chrysler Bldg., and new Freedom Tower, among others. It's what New Yorkers dream of owning and wait for years to find! It even has 3 balconies. Sophisticated and chic, the home is in triple mint condition with contemporary finishes & materials - a fully custom renovation featured in Elle Decor (UK Edition). A key-locked elevator opens into a warm and welcoming foyer, but it's the massive living room (34' x 28'9") that really draws you into the space with scenic views that are spectacular both during the day and at night, especially from the balcony.
And who throws gum on the street?
They have all the money in the world and could move to wherever they want, instead they choose to move to a historically poor neighborhood and make things worse for us regular people that have managed to hold on despite the efforts of millionaires. I always liked him but not her, but now not so much.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed to hear he tossed his gum into the street for one of us to step on. Why does James Bond have to be a pig?
ReplyDeleteThe gum is probably a laser/periscope/homing beacon/paparazzi detector/microchip implant/...
ReplyDeleteSomeone really clever could go get the gum and sell it on Ebay, especially with Skyfall coming out soon.
ReplyDeleteHe's f*ing hot. I don't mind seeing those icy blue eyes around town.
ReplyDeleteAnother apartment with no place to hang a painting.
ReplyDeleteGreat light in that space...the building's exterior is quite ugly in a Soviet sort of way. Maybe good for a Bond fortress.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for Craig living in the East Village, but he does need to learn some manners about gum. Gum is best avoided altogether, but anyone who throws it on the street should be required to clean gum stains from 10 city blocks. With a toothbrush.

Eeeewwww, gum! A gross and disgusting habit, and it makes me throw up a little in my mouth just to type the word. And yeah, no place to hang pictures. I remember when that building was going up practically next door to me, the union guys with the rat who were stationed there told me the builders had used substandard steel girders. Wouldn't surprise me. Ugly building, ugly people.
