At stake in the East Village are two buildings with remarkably intact Greek Revival architectural details. But perhaps even more at risk are the rich histories embedded within. .
When Korilla BBQ comes to Columbia University, it parks on Amsterdam away from the slew of other food trucks on Amsterdam. There's a great visual menu, an assembly line of workers, a mirror above to show you what they've got and an iPad rings you up.
Another one of my favorite Parisian passages is the Passage du Grand Cerf in the 2nd arrondisement, mostly because of the stark contrast between its beautiful interior and the reality of the sex shops just bordering the entrance on Rue Saint-Denis.
Add to these personalities singer Maria Callas and politician Jacob Javits, and you have a celebrity-studded alma-mater for this library in Washington Heights. The real treat of this library is the whimsical childrens floor, decorated with oversized lampshades.
Today, the Rickshaw dumpling truck was parked outside Columbia University so I gave it a try. It gets an A for marketing and I LOL'd reading the line, "Who's your Edamame?"
New York City's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) looks like N.A.S.A.!
Fall is my favorite season in Paris. Photographers love to shoot Paris at night or in the springtime so it's pretty rare to find pictures of Paris in the fall but Untapped gives you a glimpse of fall in Paris.
Well, one of the best views in Paris at least--there are so many! The outdoor seating area is under the north wing of the museum, overlooking the Louvre Courtyard and the Pyramid, with a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
Walking by the catacombs in the 14th arrondisement, I discovered Madame Rana--a fortune teller operating out of a happily painted palm-tree decorated trailer.
Untapped checked out Takara, the oldest Japanese restaurant in Paris as a followup to the popular post on Rue Saint-Anne, the current nucleus of Little Tokyo.
