THE SKETCHBOOKS OF MARIANO RECALDE
Architect Mariano Recalde agreed to let me post his lovely sketches of Tribeca: “Seeing the world and cities through hand drawings is a very different experience than what you get out of photographs,” he says. The sketches simultaneously make me want to draw and force me to accept I’d never be that good.

CALENDAR: MAY 27–JUNE 26
This weekend in Tribeca: Fulton Stall Market; “Heavenly Creatures”; writer Lee Smith; Friends of Hudson River Park boat ride; burlesque; Grant Hart, formerly of Hüsker Dü; more…. Plus: the full calendar through June 26.
