Re: Physical Graffiti Bldg question?

["Robert Coleman" <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also don't know the answer, but can say that the address is in a very cool 
part of the East Village on St. Marks Pl. It's not right "in" the densest 
concentration of hipster shops & cafes on that street, but right nearby. 
Every time I've visited Manhattan, I've inevitably ended up on that street 
and walked by it without even meaning to. And the PG building has a unique 
facade compared to many around it. Those little faces and window arches are 
considerably fancier. There is now a 2nd hand/vintage resale shop at the 
street level of the building named, what else, Physical Graffiti.
