Would you like to do your grocery shopping in a space with the grandeur of a cathedral?
Welcome to the Food Emporium at Bridgemarket, nicely tucked under the Manhattan approach to the 59th Street Bridge.
The vaulted space was designed by Austrian-American architect Henry Hornbostel and engineer Gustav Lindenthal. It languished unappreciated and unloved until 1977 when Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates first presented plans for a market. Renovations were begun in 2000. It is now occupied by the Food Emporium (seen in the photo), Guastavino restaurant, a Conran furniture shop and a public plaza.

Tonight you can go home, pour yourself a cup of peppermint tea, and then start contacting your contacts, one by one: via smoke signals, IM, Facebook poking, whatever. Ask them, “What are you doing to help me become the most important poet in America? Have you reviewed my book, oh contact you? Can you get me a reading at the 92nd Street Y? Or on the International Space Station?” Have your contacts written critical essays extolling your virtues as an artist or created weekend symposia dedicated to the greater understanding of your work? If not, shouldn’t they, you know, get busy on that?
This is a must-read piece and yes, Jim, perhaps we could help!

We stumbled upon L’Antiquaire & the Connoisseur one day on a walk. There we met Helen, and our view of antiques has been forever changed. Helen has the second largest collection of antique mirror’s outside of Versailles, and her deep appreciation for gorgeous antiques is quite contagious.
This is one of NYC rarest’s gems. Of course if you can’t stop by, you can just browse the Met. Helen always seems to have a large portion out on loan.
