It was just before dusk, and I had to dodge traffic like mad to get these pictures, but if you click on them you can get to larger versions.
It’s becoming very common here in Manhattan to see modern buildings like this in the oddest settings. You’d think a giant just came along, and dropped this glass monolith on this old-fashioned Lower East Side Street.

  1. wow – talk about sticking out like a sore thumb. What’s the office version of a McMansion – Trumpette?

  2. Something like this happened in my husband’s hometown, but the difference is a little more drastic – super modern (and ugly) new town hall in the middle of a medieval square – argh.

    Happy Easter … and I tagged you for a meme!

  3. So strange and cool.

  4. Very cool building!
    My town is soo boring! I live in Suburbia hell. ;-)
    great for raising kids, but it is cookie cutter here! NO exciting buildings!
