We love it when building destruction in New York City leaves the old rooms exposed and naked for all to see.

Robert De Niro Takes You to Bed
Staying in Robert De Niro's Greenwich Hotel in New York City doesn't come cheap, starting at $625 a night. But NewYorkology points us to soft-opening prices that make it worth considering a luxurious night in their brand new decked out rooms, details here.

Balancing act
Forget David Blaine's lame tricks, better "street magic" happens every day around New York City. We caught this cool feat at the construction site for the new hotel on Allen Street - a ton of steel is magically moved by a tiny fork lift by balancing 4 large construction workers on the back...

Pershing Square's mysterious zoning
NYC can be very tight with commercial zoning. excessive fines are passed out for tables or signs outside that go an inch over the allowed space. but every summer Pershing Square Café, located on the very busy corner of 42nd St. and Park Ave., is allowed to SHUT DOWN and take over a block of Park Avenue and fill it with outside seating for their café. in doing this they block an important south bound Park Ave turn off of one of the busiest streets in the city! this baffles us to no end (adding to the insult, the place is often empty.) does anyone know the story behind this restaurant being allowed to take over a city street?
UPDATE: Venus Williams will be appearing in Pershing Square TODAY at 12:00! playing tennis for a good cause!
