Buildings Under Repair
The buildings in the photo below are under repair by NYU.
I walked on Waverly Place to get some lunch (see what I got for lunch) and saw this building. I thought I'd have something to say about it, so here it is on my blog.
It occurs to me that this has been a fairly common sight around NYU for a while, and it seems like it's only going to happen more and more, given the space constrains acknowledged by the University leadership in the 2031 Plan. (see details about NYU's 2031 Plan).
I don't know the specific history of these buildings, I supposed someone somehwere does, but, wouldn't it be cool if there were some way to find that history online? If there exists such a thing, and somebody out there knows about it, please drop me a line or a comment.
I know some time ago (am I carbon-dating myself) there used to be Eddie's, with the hugest burritos around, and Poppolini's. They yielded some time later to NYU, which converted them partly as student swing space while Loeb Student Center was torn down and Kimmel Center for University Life was being built in its place.
I wonder what future use will be given to these buildings.
