We spotted this “ghost hipster” hanging out in front of a construction site on the Lower East Side.
He’s so cool that he’s invisible, except for his shoes — well well well, Alanis, isn’t it ironic?
The Ghost Hipster
Economy Foam Left The Lower East Side
With Economy Foam moving from Houston Street to 56 W8th Street (between 5th &6th Ave), one more slice of Manhattan goes with it.
We’ll miss that old sign of theirs, appreciate the art on the construction shed while it lasts, and be happy knowing that when the opportunity arises that we need something refoamed, Economy Foam will still be around.
If Chandler Bing Was Real…
If the gang on Friends were real, today they would be found in NYC’s far off land of Sunset Park, Brooklyn — having been priced out of Manhattan.
And it’s good to know that they’d have a local spot to hang out at — Sunset Perk! Could it BE any more ironic?!
A Construction Oopsie!
Sometimes construction goes awry, and a building becomes undermined. So, the building gets a crutch to keep it almost upright, but leaning.
It’s a construction oopsie!
Manhattan Still Has Hurricane Irene Holdouts
Shortly after Hurricane Irene got through with NYC last year, we spotted two of the worst and dumbest hurricane preparations imaginable. Thankfully, those who did the dumb preparations have since undone their handiwork, but we found several apartments on 10th Avenue and 48th Street still awaiting the wrath of Hurricane Irene. The occupants of 686 10th Ave are like a modern-day Hiroo Onoda — refusing to give up!
Someone please get them a barometer and inform them how to use it.
