I saw it during my 1rst time in NYC and it was so amazing! I didn’t know this place and it was a great surprise to discover it. As a fan of Nas, I saw a wonderful portrait of him and I’d like to Congratulate the one who draw it. I’m French so sorry for my english ! See u in August
I love this place more than anywhere else in the state. I had one of the greatest days of my life here, and I get to relive it everyday on the train in and out of the city. This building cannot come down, it really is as good as it gets.
