Big Blue Conch

This used to be a blue, single story building along the BQE on Meeker @ Varick, but it has all grown up!

Prior to the addition, it was Conch Umbrellas, a Chinese-owned umbrella manuacturer located throughout the U.S.  including right here in Greenpoint, USA.

It could still be them, it certainly doesn’t look like a residential building.

From a distance, I thought that some kind of Ikea pop-up store was happening.

Flaky Bricks And Blue Colorfields

More flaky bricks, just the way I like ‘em.

From the ghetto end of Grand Street in Brooklyn that is hard to get to via car.

And a little abstract minimalism as the cherry on top.

The city is a giant museum if you so choose it to be. Rothko lives.

Old School Diner

Happened upon this gem of a food estblishment while walking past Rust Street in Maspeth, Queens. Looks like it belongs in a movie, eh?

The Clinton Diner & Bar actually did make a cameo appearence in none other than the original Goodfellas classic, as seen in some screen captures below:
