Thanks for all your suggestions!

Hi all, I'm working on a print like this one i did for London and could do with some help. I have most the letters filled but am missing a couple.

What is essential New York to you??

Thanks!

Seabs on Nov 11 '10 at 1:51pm

thanks goliath. I'm missing K, O, X. And I could do with better stuff for D, I, L, M

mezo on Nov 11 '10 at 1:53pm

K - Knicks?

jamesf on Nov 11 '10 at 1:55pm

dakota building?

Macy's

You could maybe use one of the letters for the different subway lines - i think l and m are ones, they should be recognisable to new yorkers if done in the same style

squintygirl on Nov 11 '10 at 1:55pm

Chrysler Building, Times Square

Seabs on Nov 11 '10 at 1:55pm

mezo of course, how'd i miss that?! thanks

squintygirl on Nov 11 '10 at 1:56pm

I fail at the internet, clearly.

jamesf on Nov 11 '10 at 1:57pm

MoMA

jamesf on Nov 11 '10 at 2:00pm

MoMA

Seabs on Nov 11 '10 at 2:05pm

any ideas for X??

squintygirl on Nov 11 '10 at 2:17pm

Too bad Times Square cleared up, there used to be plenty of XXX around there.

dbrv11 on Nov 11 '10 at 2:38pm

You might have to fudge a little for X. I know one thing that was essential to me when I lived in New York was the eXpress train.

dbrv11 on Nov 11 '10 at 2:41pm

For "I", the I Love New York advertising campaign (or, I Heart New York) has been a big thing for a very long time.

I Heart NY

dbrv11 on Nov 11 '10 at 2:43pm

For "L" how about the New York Lottery?

Or LaGuardia Airport?

tracerbullet on Nov 11 '10 at 2:44pm

there is nothing essential about the knicks

Jake Friedman on Nov 11 '10 at 2:46pm

The Bronx Zoo is very popular

Seabs on Nov 11 '10 at 4:16pm

thanks all. I thought about the I love ny thing but think it might be pretty well protected. I like the express train idea.

quister on Nov 11 '10 at 5:44pm

Metropolitan opera, Macy's day Parade, ballons/floats (Thanksgiving Day parade) would make a good visual. As well as the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum. International Center of Photography, is pretty famous. Little Italy, Lincoln Center, Hell's Kitchen (now famous for restaurant row (somewhat of a stretch).

Anyway, love your London poster! Cheers!

Seabs on Nov 12 '10 at 4:23am

thanks quister, love the macys day parade idea

4 days later

Seabs on Nov 16 '10 at 2:18pm

Still very stuck on O....any ideas??

quister on Nov 16 '10 at 5:05pm

Off-Broadway theatre district?

quister on Nov 16 '10 at 5:07pm

Maybe a map of the theatres that are on Broadway?

rhythmdev9 on Nov 16 '10 at 5:14pm

for O the US Open... I've always just called it the Open

rhythmdev9 on Nov 16 '10 at 5:16pm

also If you did one of these for New Orleans, I'd buy it... I know thats a bit of a niche city but just saying...

dbrv11 on Nov 16 '10 at 5:56pm

How about the Oyster Bar in Grand Central station?

Or . . . Off-Broadway?

jeffreyg on Nov 16 '10 at 6:04pm

if you did the knicks for K i think I would die

jeffreyg on Nov 16 '10 at 6:04pm

(of happiness)

quister on Nov 16 '10 at 6:24pm

quister on Nov 16 '10 at 5:07pm
Maybe a map of the theatres that are on Broadway? Meant to say, Off-Broadway

Oyster bar is a landmark in my opinion. Incredible raw bar, fresh, deliciously prepared fish and really cool atmosphere set in the landmark, Grand Central Station! Maybe their logo or doorway image would give you a bit of diversity from the mostly archetectual references you'll be using?

You could just use the Grand Central Sign directing viewers to the restaurant?

quister on Nov 16 '10 at 6:26pm

Meant to say, way to go dbrv11, Oyster bar is a great idea =]

dbrv11 on Nov 16 '10 at 7:10pm

Bio-bot 9000 on Nov 16 '10 at 7:21pm

o- One U.N. Plaza? I dunno if it's anything special, but it's a skyscraper.

M-Madison Square Garden?

Seabs on Nov 17 '10 at 4:00pm

thanks all. wishing i had seen this earlier, I went for opera at the lincoln centre for O

4 days later

Seabs on Nov 21 '10 at 6:36pm

Ok, I redrew O to be oyster bar as Opera was a bit lame.

Last letter to do is D - any bright ideas??

At the moment I just have Diner which i reckon could be improved.

Help much appreciated!

Seabs on Nov 21 '10 at 7:59pm

Anyone?

rhythmdev9 on Nov 21 '10 at 8:05pm

nasmo on Nov 21 '10 at 8:06pm

DUMBO

DiFara's

Dead Horse Bay

jeffreyg on Nov 21 '10 at 8:08pm

uhh Delomonicos? Can't seem to think of a D

V1ctorya on Nov 21 '10 at 8:11pm

DUMBO! (Down under the manhattan bridge overpass)

V1ctorya on Nov 21 '10 at 8:14pm

Also, for C I was going to suggest the Cloisters. I the IRT

rhythmdev9 on Nov 21 '10 at 8:15pm

Ug, I hate DUMBO it is embodiment of the unnatural acronyms that have arisen in NYC in the past decade.

V1ctorya on Nov 21 '10 at 8:21pm

Yet it's the first D word I thought of. Then Donald Trump. The D Line.

Seabs on Nov 22 '10 at 4:13am

thanks all, quite like the sound of delomonicos, though Ive never heard of it before

mullmuggins on Nov 22 '10 at 4:27am

Can we have a look at it?

I lvoe your London one - I think I am going to buy one for Aled.

mullmuggins on Nov 22 '10 at 4:27am

lvoe = love, obvs.

Seabs on Nov 22 '10 at 4:37am

Thanks Mullmuggins, very kind of you to say. I'm sure Aled would love one :P

At work at the moment so can't post a pic but it's hopefully going to print tomorrow!

Seabs on Nov 23 '10 at 10:50am

One more question if anyone knows...

What do you reckon is the most famous/popular animal in the bronx zoo??

V1ctorya on Nov 23 '10 at 11:47am

Delmonicos! Used to get cherries there every morning one summer.

the gorillaz are always popular at any zoo I would think. I remember those lines.

Seabs on Nov 23 '10 at 1:13pm

Thanks V1ctoya. Gorillas it is! i went for Downtown for D in the end
