Leonard Cohen mentions Clinton Street.

Outstanding live performance of Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen on German TV Lyrics: It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now ...

3 years in the making.....88 Clinton has metamorphosed and is coming back to life. Different maybe but still imbued with the good vibes created by you guys. In your honor the building has been named and will forever remain--Loft88
More photos to follow over the coming weeks as we open for rentals. 7 loft apartments with outdoor spaces and elevator + retail.
Best, Daniel

We did this before it was cool :)

A handful of businesses in New York are creating co-living spaces, advertising instant community and access to amenities.

We did this from the rooftop all the time. Projecting onto the buildings out back, videograffiti.

Discovered a new word today: "Hiraeth", pronounced "HEER-eyeth, with a fast heer and a soft th", meaning: A homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.

Remember Alias restaurant in the corner? The one that had that mural from the filming of "Across The Universe" ? Soon it shall be something else.

Only a few months old, and 2013 is already proving to be one of the worst for OG Lower East Side establishments.

Toward the end of 1979, Brian Rose and Edward Fausty began roaming the neighborhood, carrying a Japanese view camera attached to a tripod. Mr. Rose revisited the area 30 years later.

Hi there, new Likers. Just curious, what brought you here? Perhaps somehow, if there are enough new ones, somehow this legend will come alive again.

And then, back to open space. Not empty, full of all our stories.
