Lunchtime #drawing: Feeling transported to an abandoned cottage in the Irish countryside at the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park City. There are stones from each and every one of Ireland’s 32 counties in this memorial by artist Brian Tolle, landscape architect Gail Wittwer-Laird, and architecture firm 1100 Architect. #NicksLunchboxService #802 #art #landscapearchitecture #batteryparkcity #hunger…

Lunchtime #drawing: Two stories plus a dormer up top, all settled in since 1830 with windows, lintels and Flemish bond bricks askew, at 17 Commerce St. In the West Village. Still relatively quiet like when it was known as Cherry Lane, perfect for my daughter asleep in her stroller. Thanks to everyone who followed along…

A section of lath and crumbling plaster were left in place, so visitors can see the state of the synagogue before the restoration @museumateldridgestreet! #NicksLunchboxAtEldridge #drawing #lath #plaster #restoration #artconservation #NicksLunchboxService #art #architecture (at Museum at Eldridge Street) from Nick’s Lunchbox Service on Tumblr http://ift.tt/1nAUjIe via IFTTT

Part of the cast iron fence outside of the @museumateldridgestreet. Passers by were stopping for a minute to check out the drawing, of which this one took a minute. #NicksLunchboxAtEldridge #eldridgestreet #castiron #museumateldridgestreet #museum #synagogue #drawing #NicksLunchboxService #art (at Museum at Eldridge Street) from Nick’s Lunchbox Service on Tumblr http://ift.tt/1XfY9mh via IFTTT

The Instagram takeover of @museumateldridgestreet continues. Hand painted designs are everywhere on the walls throughout the synagogue, creating patterns, marble and more—here the design curls between two street facing stained glass windows. #NicksLunchboxAtEldridge #starofdavid #stainedglass #design #handpainteddesigns #drawing #NicksLunchboxService (at Museum at Eldridge Street) from Nick’s Lunchbox Service on Tumblr http://ift.tt/1UW1gRO via IFTTT

There are over 300 parts to this chandelier all carefully conserved, and amazingly, put back together again. #NicksLunchboxAtEldridge #NicksLunchboxService…
