LOFT PEEPING: INVERTED WAREHOUSE TOWNHOUSE
ArchDaily just showcased this highly covetable south Tribeca residence even though the project year is listed as 2010 (or maybe that’s when work gets started?). Who cares, though—it’s worth peeping even if it had been completed 10 years ago.

TCQ&A: MEGHAN FARRELL
“At Whole Foods, a man was blocking the English muffins,” says the jewelry designer and DJ. “I politely asked him to move, and he was super funny and started teasing me about it. I realized after the fact that the man was Jay-Z and I’m pretty sure he was talking to Helena Christensen.” Read the whole Q&A.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
I know you don’t like surveys. I don’t either! But having demographic data about who reads this site will help attract more advertising, which will help keep the site running. It only takes two minutes and it’s entirely anonymous. And if you don’t, then you had better donate.

MIB, WE HAVE TO TALK
Thanks to Troy for alerting me to the fact that the Men in Black 3 trailer has been posted. Alas, there’s a major Tribeca-related mistake.

NO WAS WAS HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS PHOTO ESSAY
Here’s a morbid little treat for you—buildings that, when lit by the sun, appear to be on fire. (Look, if David Lynch did it you’d think it was quirky.)
