••• More photos (and the video above) of the humpback whale that’s been hanging out in New York Harbor. —New York Media Boat
••• I would’ve loved to do a Loft Peeping post on the Tribeca apartment of fashion designer Jason Wu and his husband, Gustavo Rangel, but I’m trying to be (even!) more careful with photo rights. So you’ll have to click through to the Wall Street Journal‘s article. Note the excellent Belgian sideboard. UPDATE: Janet complained that the article is behind a paywall, so I went to the interior designer’s website, and sure enough, there are lots of photos there.

Thank you so much for the support Erik!
FYI. In order to go to the WSJ and peep at Jason Wu’s Tribeca apartment you have to subscribe and pay first. Darn!
You can often avoid paywalls by finding a link on social media. Keep an eye on facebook.com/wsjmag — I bet they’ll put one up next week. (With shelter content, you can also go to the designer’s website and see if there are photos. In this case, there are: http://www.studiomellone.com/projects/tribeca-apartment/.) I’ll update the post.
