This week, I’m trying to broaden my horizons. In Greenpoint, that meant attempting to understand the appeal of luxury condos; in Bushwick, I had to confront my deeply entrenched skepticism about the neighborhood writ large; and in Bed-Stuy, where I always end up, I was forced to question the veracity of some StreetEasy images. There’s also a brief and inexplicable detour to Murray Hill and a Williamsburg-y Bushwick loft to remind us of simpler times. And for anyone who would rather opt out of all this entirely, Philip Johnson’s first residential commission is being restored in Bedford and will soon be looking for a very architecturally literate new owner!
