citylikeyou — New York By Gehry At 8 Spruce Street

NYC’s skyline has been drastically changing, and Frank Gehry has added a real masterpiece with ‘New York by Gehry at 8 Spruce Street’. It is subdued compared to Gehry’s other work, but also elegant, subtle, and delicate. When you stand directly under it the skin of the building can best be described as reptilian.

A street party/DJ sound system built out of a shipping container. A little slab of hungover berlin/pregaming Berlin in Brooklyn.

Sunset is magic as there's a straight shot through to Manhattan and the light is perfection.

After the full moon, when the tide is the lowest, you'll find a century of fossils from a gone NY, trails of washed-out rainbow colored bottles, a graffitied shipwreck buried by time. Hundreds of years of history written in the sand.

New York / Restaurant

It was a warm evening in the city and not yet dark. We arrived, giddy and happy, and he ordered two glasses of prosecco. The waiter managed to fit onto our tiny wood table two plates of tartines, a legumes dish, and a tray of fromage. And then we shared dessert. I can’t remember exactly but it must have been chocolate.
