David Byrne blows up the world (under the High Line) (@NYMag) My favorite New York eclecticist, David Byrne, has created a temporary installation under the High Line at 25th Street: a blown-up globe, like a giant beach ball version of the globes on which we learned geography in school, stuffed under a section of the High Line.

Click the photo to advance to the next image. I battened down the hatches, filled the tub, stocked up on water, prepped a go bag for Smokey and followed all the other suggestions from official NYC sources. Aside from good snacks and a Netflix marathon, the most exciting thing that happened in my humble 19th-floor atelier was a handful of cool photos from the big night. Enjoy.

With hundreds of automotive and other “quality of life” violations happening every hour at any given intersection in New York, the ridiculousness of the Neistat’s citation is made even more hilarious by this video. Enjoy. (For the record, I violate my share of bicycling laws, too.) Follow Casey Neistat on Twitter: twitter.com/​caseyneistat

Manhattan In Motion

tn-movies-tv

An amazing video clip called Manhattan in motion from a video maker who calls himself Mindrelic on Vimeo. He edited the piece from hours of footage he made while hotel-hopping in Manhattan between March and April of 2011. Whenever I see stunning footage of New York City like this, I can’t help but say to myself, “Wow… I live there.” Our little city is a knockout.
