I was home on Thompson Street, up unusually early. The towers were the view from my ground-floor doorstep. I had just returned from Ireland and was unpacking; the video camera caught much of it.

Thanks Miaues! I ended up going with NYCityVan. They just left a few minutes ago and I was so pleased. They were efficient and friendly - and insured! I would totally recommend them. I found their ...

Hi All- Been a while since I posted. Does anyone know of a good "man with a van" service for Manhattan? I have to move a rather large glass & steel Room & Board table from Chinatown to Soho b...

I live in a ground floor co-op on Thompson St. No garden - my neighbor has access to the small patch of concrete -but I appreciate not having to haul things up many flights. And being able to whee...

I have a similar mirror, albeit smaller, that was also the same bronze color. I found some lovely paint in a champagne/silver color...(I guess that would be platinum?) It's a very soft patina...

I live street-level so one of the new trees is actually right outside my window. It gives me mixed feelings because as it grows, the roots could potentially compromise a retaining wall for the base...

It's a hybrid vehicle, also part of the giveaway.

I have industrial design lust. But I am afraid to go ...it will break the heart of this girl who has a rattling piggy bank. Sob.

I need to dispose of an old wooden block of knives - any advice for the proper way to do this? Wrap them securely with tape and discard in normal trash? My NYC recycling info sheet doesn't seem to ...

Enjoy your new home - how exciting for you! It's wonderful that you get to stay in the neighborhood you love.

I've always gravitated to Aero. It instantly makes me feel calm and inspired. It's luxurious but not forbidding.

Wisteria & Lilac... just what grew at my old home!

Yes, how was the food?

Hey that's my pal Eric who did the spot illo.... yay! No Cure for me this time around. Instead I am sloooowly repainting my place and planning a new wee kitchen for 2008 (or 2009). Prepping f...

Since we don't have the big bookstores down in Soho/GV (or small ones anymore, sadly) I tend to pick it up at Universal News on Broadway & Broome. It's not hard to find at anyplace that sells inter...
