Steve Schofield also took a very fine "cloak and dagger" photo, kind of noirish, by the Whitney's Nighthawks installation at the Flatiron Building.

Congratulations on the piece. Like the photo too, though we can't see your Google Glass!
if it wasn for "night hawks" i never would have found JVNY. the artical in the NYtimes was facinating. glad to see this mystery has resurfaced.
I was looking through "Hopper Drawing" by Foster a couple of weeks ago and ran across a drawing of what appears to be the Nighthawks diner, but viewed from an elevated perspective - second or third floor looking diagonally down toward the left. Possibly from Hopper's room? Also, in Ogunguit ME Museum of American Art there was an exhibit this fall featuring Henry Strater. As I recollect, he was the artist who painted the work I saw there which, as I remarked to one of my companions, was a dead ringer for the Nighthawks corner.
