When ever there is a fashion show, or like now when it is Tribeca Film Festival, the people coming to these events are extremely disrespectful to the neighborhood. Whether it be filming with models on our entry ramp which we are not insured for if an injury were to occur (models twirling & teetering in high heels), or the trash that is left behind because they think Laight street is perfect for having an outside party, I find it obnoxious. What they do not realize is that this happens every week, perhaps every day during spring time, and they often block entry to out building. Today a flim crew of more then 10 people did not move out of my way and gave me a strange look when I walked through their photo shoot on my way to the post office!

But he's only six years old, and he can't do it. And the other men are so fast. There was so much love in this...
Read moreI attended a Slack (the tech company) event at Spring Studios and was mainly impressed with the space. It's in Soho on a harder-to-find street (thank God they wrap the door where you need to enter through). You enter the space and a staff member leads you to the elevators (there didn't seem a way to walk up to the event space). The event space is on three floors with reception areas, a large conference space, and break out room space. It's beautifully designed full of glass and natural light.
