Resistance Is Futile - The Porter House Condo #architecture

Perfectly situated next to Google's New York Headquarters (76 9th Avenue, the former Port Authority building and one of the largest buildings in New York City which Google is  rumored  to be interested in purchasing for a mere $2 billion) can be found  The Porter House Condo, or as local residents call it: the  Borg  cube. 

It is probably one of New York City's most interesting residential properties... definitely unique in architecture and design and the subject of commentaries by locals and tourists alike.  The Porter House's best amenity is its location. Right where Chelsea, the West Village and the Meat Packing district meet - three of the trendiest neighborhoods where chique newyorkers can be spotted at all hours of the day.  It is also across the street from the cavernous  Chelsea Market  and a block from the  High Line .

Any newyorkers reading this who live at the Porter House? We'd love to hear from you.

Coco Chanel Vs. Haculla #streetart

On Thanksgiving Eve, I was walking the streets of Soho heading to the club (isn't that what normal newyorkers do?) I came across a Haculla piece... Coco Chanel Vs Haculla.  Apparently Haculla has been providing New York with his visual street art for years and is easily recognizable by his  EDGY  commentaries and wheat - paste medium.  This particular piece of mynewyork that I'm sharing with you is on the doors of 214 Lafayette just below Spring.  (newyorkers don't say street or avenue... if you didn't know that, consider this a friendly PSA).

A Union Square / Flatiron Beauty #architecture

Whilst walking down Broadway in the Flatiron District as I made my way to Union Square I spotted one of my favorite buildings. It's such a quintessential New York City building with amazing architectural details. Oh and did you notice the top floor? Design like that puts the house in penthouse. That's my newyork, what's yournewyork?
