    Lunchtime #drawing: Barrow Street (numbers 47 and 49 here), previously Reason St. after resident Thomas Paine, was renamed for the artist Thomas Barrow.

    Lunchtime #drawing: A magnolia starting to bloom at 38 Barrow Street.

    Lunchtime #drawing: What is that? A lumpy stone mound? I’m awed that the Village Volcano has stood for more than 30 years, at Barrow Street and 7th Avenue, originally a concrete joke in 1982 by the restaurant owner next to a Con Ed steam leak that lasted much too long, but is now dormant. This…

    Lunchtime #drawing: The last time I drew this building with dormer windows at the corner of Barrow and Commerce Streets in the West Village, it had scaffolding around it, I’m excited to see the whole thing. The shade from the tree I’m standing beneath also turns out to be perfect for my daughter to take…
