Midnight Barn Raising on Broome Street
Nearly 11PM, and I'm on my way home from salsa dance class. Broome Street blocked off by an almost extra-terrestrial crane. Wouldn't have been surprised to see Agents Mulder and Scully. Dark, except for the giant spots. Quiet, with little crowds of neighbors watching silently. The locus of action seemed to be 468 Broome. "What are they putting up there?" I ask one lady. "A penthouse," she says, giving nothing away. "A penthouse?" I ask. "Yes," she nods. That's one way to add real estate in Manhattan....
