Welcome To Unseen NYC

As you can probably see Unseen NYC has been up and rolling for a few weeks now. We started to populate the blog with a few images and told our friends and quietly got the word out about the site. We even got some good press from the NY Times & Sundance Channel blogs! But the site was just a few pictures on a blank background and not much to look at. But as the submissions rolled in we gave the site a facelift and added a few small articles and our little site is ready to get out into the world. So even if you have been checking out the site over the last few weeks…

Welcome to Unseen NYC.  This project officially starts today.

The Deitch Wall on Houston Street and Bowery

The Deitch wall went through another metamorphosis yesterday morning. This is a HUGE deal in NYC graffiti, and the fact they hit that thing in the middle of the day is insane.

The mural it’s covering was an homage to classic NYC graffiti legends…which was covering Shepard Fairey’s May Day Mural.

UPDATE: …and just like that, it’s gone.

Harry Potter Train Line on New York City Subway

MTA offering service to Hogwarts? Magical Harry Potter train line appears on subway sign

The new Harry Potter movie came out last Friday which means thousands of fans, young and old, don hats pointed hats, wizard wands and foam at the mouth for their chance to see the second to last installment. The Harry Potter movies are never a disappointment so I dig the hype. In the midst of the Harry Potter craziness, a clever fan stuck Platform 9 3/4 sticker on the Union Square Station on 14th St that got some attention from nydailynews.com on Monday. The MTA said they aren’t aware of a Harry Potter promotion  but, hey…check out the Driven By Boredom photobomb on the right.
