Above left, on Delancey, the Bedbug Express Van heads for the Hamptons again. Above right, phone lines are sacrificed to the sweaty buzzards that circle above Provost in Greenpoint.
Below, at the Court Square subway station in Long Island City, the crew puts out the battle-tested communications equipment, in case the high tech stuff wilts in the heat.
And below, on the West Side Highway in Chelsea, maybe the way Frank Gehry's building "meets" the sidewalk like a cheap windshield makes sense. It seals out the heat along with the humans, and is consistent with what the building as a whole suggests: a plastic iceberg, proud to be likely the last iceberg on earth.
