Tom Sachs' Hello Kitty @ Lever House
I’ve been a bad blogger. Between work, travel (a trip to Denver I’ll share more on soon!), and more work, I’ve been off the blogoshere for too long. And my brain is somewhat spent.
I did, however, want to share a small tip for the peeps that work and play in midtown NYC. I was at a conference at LIM College the other day. Heard of it? Neither had I, but apparently it’s coming to rival FIT and Parson’s for a spot in fashion academia’s limelight. Anyway, it happens to be located just around the corner of the Lever House. The 1950s structure is a New York architectural gem and it becomes extra special during the warmer months when you can take your lunch to the courtyard. Filled with frolicking white collar types on break from their cubicles, it’s a refreshing spot to people watch. You’ve got a clear view of Park Ave.
Right now it’s made a little more fun thanks to a giant Hello Kitty statue overlooking the courtyard. Kitsch art meets corporate world. Only in New York.
