Nighttime in New York, the greatest city on Earth, in my humble opinion!! I love how they light up the Empire State Building for the holidays!! It's very festive, dontcha think? Having the Chrysler Building in the forefront is an added bonus. I love that building!! I love NY. ❤️ I always will!! ❤️

”My pants are Visa by Milliken and made sometime in the 80s. My shoes are Steve Madden and ofc I got the shirt from some tourist place in midtown. I like finding pieces that don’t look like they’d go together, and then figuring out how to match them with each other as best I can. I just look for a common color or pattern and roll with it.”

There's nothing as great as New York pizza 🍕 😍😋 it's sooooooo good. I love how the crust is light and crispy and bends easily. Now, I need some pizza 🍕 New York pizza, that is. 😁 I've eaten pizza all over the world, and New York pizza is the best in the world.

That was a stupid challenge

I've been wanting to move there since I can recall, I always loved the city for series, movies or wtv.

I've already been there two times and pitifully I was going through a rough time on both. But I've still enjoyed the city a lot, I can't describe my love for it, it's like a warm feeling of belonging.

I find comfort in the bussy and noisy city.

I've been meaning to post about this beautiful building at 207 East 32nd Street in the Murray Hill neighborhood. Until recently it was under renovations after being purchased by the New York Times Review of Books (NYRB) in 2020. Prior to the NYRB, the building was owned by famed graphic designer and Bronx-born Milton Glaser (June 26, 1926 - June 26, 2020.)

Glaser bought the 1902 Beaux-Arts building in 1965 which was initially built for the famed (or infamous) New York political machine Tammany Hall. According to legendary New York Times writer Christopher Grey in his post "Where the Ghosts Smoke Cigars" from Streetscapes dated December 19, 2013.

"The architect, Robert T. Lyons, developed an exuberantly French facade of red brick and limestone, with a mansard roof; although showy for 32nd Street east of the Third Avenue El, it was worthy of any lot on Fifth Avenue. Lyons presumably gave it a few smoke-filled rooms, and it also had a top-floor gymnasium, card rooms and an assembly hall for political conventions."

After Tammany Hall, the building was used by the City of New York as a courthouse.

Aside from being co-founder of New York Magazine in 1968 (with Clay Felker,) Glaser is arguably best known for his iconic "I ❤ NY" logo.

Glaser is believed to have created the logo during a cab ride and it started being used in 1977. Glaser created the logo with the best interests of New York City at heart during a dark period in the city's history when crime was rampant, nearing bankruptcy and the metropolis was being referred to as "Fear City." Glaser created the logo on a pro-bono basis.

The renovation of the building was completed in February of this year with Glaser's "Art is Work" remaining part of the new front door.
