The most mundane shit is decried as suburban on here... wearing sandals, walking and talking at the same time, not locking a bike, but here someone has recreated bit of the simple life and we all coo.<br /><br />@Caleo - I am a lowly file clerk in khakis and a crumpled polo shirt from an unfashionable outer borough. It's funny that you feel entitled to comment on my career without knowing what it is.<br /><br />I happen to love rooftops and open air bars, and I love that I can access them for the price of a glass of house red.<br /><br />I must admit that I have little sympathy for NIMBYs who cannot move to another apartment because their stabilized rent is too cheap to match elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-36619273756000376852012-02-16T16:46:39.776-05:002012-02-16T16:46:39.776-05:00Anon 11:43- What in the hell are you talking about...Anon 11:43- What in the hell are you talking about ?<br />You are obviously a Master of the Universe, or hope to be one someday soon, after a mind numbing journey through corporate hell that you call a career, all in the hope of getting to mingle and swing and enjoy a glass of wine with the " right " people on yet another rooftop lounge.<br />Your lame attempt at denigrating a wonderful rooftop garden in an historic building is laughable at best.Caleonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-47547512871467555342012-02-16T12:41:35.022-05:002012-02-16T12:41:35.022-05:00@anon 11:43

Here, high above the dust and noise of the growing city, he had created a pleasure-ground for the residents’ private use..."<br /><br />The roof was designed to serve the residents as a community space, and has served that important purpose for more than a century. Would you invite people to construct a commercial establishment in your back yard and have people getting drunk and partying outside your windows?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571746026140697769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-84589655743497592012-02-16T11:43:58.385-05:002012-02-16T11:43:58.385-05:00Funny that you frequently comment on the suburbani...Funny that you frequently comment on the suburbanization of your New York such as in http://vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com/2008/09/gated-new-york.html but this rural idyll for the cool kids gets a pass.<br /><br />Perhaps if a bar is built here someone without the right connections will enjoy a glass of wine under the stars after a long week of work, and that will be the greatest tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-87051951392945619322012-02-16T08:47:02.736-05:002012-02-16T08:47:02.736-05:00Wow, a rooftop bar; How novel!
