post-stormy halloween



Well, it's Halloween! But let's talk about Super-Storm Sandy. Our Dollhouse NYC HQ has been closed for a few days. Manhattan is rather a mess with no power below 34th Street. No water, no subways, limited cell service, no traffic lights. But there have been so many much more scary accounts. Fire, flooding. How are you all??? Please write in with your experiences, here or on our Facebook page. We want to know that you're all okay. [image of Redhook, Brooklyn via @greenpainting, Twitter]

manhattan, crazy traffic updates


"With the subways still closed, traffic in Manhattan is absolutely insane. I was gonna take the bus to work, but I decided to walk - should be much quicker." [image and comments via H.S. on the Upper East Side, Manhattan]

the fdr, not flooded at least



"This morning I had a rare opportunity to walk in the middle of the FDR Drive, which was still closed. My vantage point here is from the southbound lanes, looking north towards the 78th Street overpass." [image and comments via H.S. on the Upper East Side, Manhattan]

86-ing the subway



As of now or so, the MTA. Tunnels flooded with corrosive salt water. No electricity to pump out the water. Can't assess damage until they pump out the water. In a word, oh no. Oh, that's two words. [image via inhabitat.com]

east village, very hard hit

in dumbo, oh no



Post-Sandy images are dramatic, but if you know these places, not so fun to look at. The recently-restored beautiful antique carrousel in DUMBO is, on a good day, eerily aglow in a modern plexi box on the rocky banks of Brooklyn, just under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Here, it's nearly afloat in the East River afloat. Argh! [image via Brownstoner]

scary stormy sandy, 8th avenue



Just unbelievable. The whole facade blew off (dropped off, crumbled off?) this apartment building near 14th Street on 8th Avenue. How? Super scary. The winds are not pleasant, to say the least. [image via Gothamist. they also have a video lower down on the page]

scary stormy sandy, 57th street



Who could have predicted this Sandy-related menace? One57, the incredibly luxury high-rise apartment with the 90 million dollar penthouse -- you know the one -- going up on W57th Street near Carnegie Hall and Central Park, is now the cause of upscale apartment evacuations and indefinite road closures to cars and pedestrians. Super scary Sandy wind gusts caused a compromise to this massive construction crane, said to be 75 floors up. With wind gusts above 50 mph, it is too dangerous to secure. Unbelievable.

pop culture reference!



This totally blew my mind watching Project Runway last Friday. The Dollhouse New York HQ building is heavily featured on the "Finale, Part I"!!! (The designers' new work space is in our building!! That explains the frequent elevator trips with Tim Gunn back in July. Yes, I sprinted to catch those elevators once I saw him. Yes, I smiled goofily at him, as if to say with my eyes, HI TIM GUNN! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! And yes, he looked away, nervously.)

design-y



I could picture my coffee shooting off the edge of my desk after I carefully clipped it there, because my desk was too thick or too slippery or something. Maybe I'll just stick to my colorful fabric coaster. [image via Pinterest]
