"Starry Nights" is at MOMA.
Starry Night is at the MoMa, not the Met.
thanks for the correction--fixed!
I love how Vinegar Hill looks too, but it's primo real estate retro-chic territory these days(the way Red Hook continues to develop), especially since Vinegar Hill House (restaurant) opened in '08 & became mobbed with celebrities. We need some barricades.

Either that or she's hailin' a cab out the front door so she can make a quick getaway :+)
Can you say anything more about the Sutton Clock Shop? Did it want to lose its lease?
