a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
Were the patrons paddling desperately to get back to their tables?
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful Fedora dream you had. If only it would come true in real life!
ReplyDeleteFor Fairey's explanation of what happened in Copenhagen, check out this HuffPo article. I take issue with him sometimes but, in this case, he's offered up a detailed account of the events and of his understanding of the situation, that seems genuine.
ReplyDeletemarty w: thats not nice. re fedoras dream. yes he was a liar. no i dont like them. BUT its still a privately owned resturant, w/ the original tin ceiling. if the place went out of business you may get a fast food joint or a cheap nail salon. frozen yogart quick turnover place. r a verizon store. floresent lights you know. the people outside would be WORSE. how about a "subway sandwich" shop. its this that scares me. bye bye tin bye wood.....
