Those exciting little details

A triptych of the ridiculously tall structure planned for 79-80 block thru on 1st.

Highlights from 84th between 2nd and 1st include a little well-articulated door to a small house; dormers under a high rise; a row of old brownstones, neatly maintained, and each different; the Zion Lutheran Church stands by a balconied apartment building; a nicely renovated The Wren is just 7 or 8 floors high. There’s a “vintage shop”1 with vintage tees on its rack. A kiosk on the sidewalk in front of an Italian restaurant. The windows of Not A Speakeasy are an attraction I can’t pass without snapping.

The Starr Pavilion extends from its entrance on E 70th in both directions to 525 E 68th Street and over 70th. Weill Cornell Medicine/New York Presbyterian cover a lot of the ground here on the UES.

Lastly, this purple sky hangs over Roosevelt Island.
