brickbink Posted February 8, 2016 Hello to all, This is my first post here. I've been building for the last two years now, but never came round to properly edit my photos, but now I finally have. This is a New York street in SoHo with cast-iron buildings and a corner cafe. I hope you like it! some more photo on brickshelf http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=562265 and bigger on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/139487014@N06/albums/72157663423190430 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastVPresent Posted February 8, 2016 Welcome, this is great! You nailed the cast iron facades and that billboard design is really cool. Very nice looking NYC street, hope to see more in the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palixa And The Bricks Posted February 8, 2016 Love it. Simple yet detailed and beautiful. Besides the two facades I like the traffic lights and letters on the roof most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gongoro73 Posted February 8, 2016 Beautiful examples of NY architecture. Oh, and Milton Glaser would be proud! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dooberfloober Posted February 8, 2016 Hi all, having been to the "Big Apple" some years ago (before many of you were born), I remember wheen SoHo was being gentrified and a popular tourist destination because of the shopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted February 8, 2016 That tan building is particularly awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skimeurobrick Posted February 8, 2016 It's Superb! (I lived in NY for 20+ years.) ... I could swear I've seen those buildings too, but I can't place it. Was that near Seventh Ave & 17th Street, or was that near Canal Street? Really well done - I've never had a MOC give me flashbacks like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted February 8, 2016 Simplistic but very effective architecture. That corner deli is sweet. Gorgeous sign! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brickbink Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks everyone for all the kind compliments! It's Superb! (I lived in NY for 20+ years.) ... I could swear I've seen those buildings too, but I can't place it. Was that near Seventh Ave & 17th Street, or was that near Canal Street? Really well done - I've never had a MOC give me flashbacks like that. It's more near Canal street, I think in Mercer street or Greene street, but I can't remember where exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrotaco Posted February 9, 2016 Looks great! The hotdog vendor is a great touch too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cimddwc Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Quite different architecture from my 3 houses, but they do look great! :-) Edited February 9, 2016 by cimddwc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loves Houses Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Ah, additionally to what all the other friends have said about the MOC you did a great job in cleaning and presenting the picture. Must have been a lot of work. Is there some interior in your houses as well? Would love to see the backsides... Keep bricking and posting! I certainly share the hope to see more of you here soon Edited February 9, 2016 by Loves Houses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the good work I´m really looking forward to see your next NY buildings. I think the adress of the grey building is 28 Greene Street in SoHo New york Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
