Just Because I Love You...

...and because I'm too fried to write a coherent post. Following is a preview of my Blackberry Pearl Retrospective of NYC while working on this Russian romantic comedy.



















The fabu lobby of The Paramount Hotel, where we held all of our early meetings to the sound of 90's dance music! I miss it...



















The view from just one of the terraces of the 5 floor West Village apartment of one very lucky mofo...



















Tech Scouting a location that we are later to lose due to zoning issues - the result of "I Am Legend" pissing off the entire city of NY and ruining it for the rest of us!



















A Bridge, a cafe, a cleaned up version of Seaport...



















Our 1st AD after too many cocktails (me not him...well both)



















B and our Director singing loudly and I bet, off key along with Journey...



















The view from my short term apartment. Don't hate until you've been awakened by Ship horns and Chinese protestors...



















My poor Flintstone toes, looking even more Fred than usual due to the relentless walking...



















The reflection of lamps in skylight at Park on a boring night...






























An amazing space in Brooklyn with views to Manhattan and cranky, low rent neighbors...



















Our Line Producer's essentials for NYC - lady socks, two kinds of mouthwash, a toothbrush, XTREME Magazine...and a banana...you decide.



















Bartender at the trendy Elizabeth on a Saturday night. Hipster here didn't appreciate our spontaneous bursts of song. Losers.



















Our Line Producer enjoying himself...seriously.



















Scouting Central Park...












...and finding "Ugly Betty" everywhere!












Exotic Lilies and Blooming Lotus in Bethesda Fountain at Central Park



















Lou the Leadman who claims to be straight......hmmm. UPDATE. Ok, he's metrosexual!



















Don't get sad. This isn't like the Sarah McGlaughlin sad animal PSA. These guys are in a fancy doggie daycare center at Seaport Village, eating bonbons and shit!



















Our Director and 1st AD daring each other to try the pole "You!" "No you first!"


That's all I've got for now. New York City really is THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
