There are famous and beautiful New York streets featured in every travel guide, but you’re unlikely to find the locals’ hangouts there. The residents of this small street speak for themselves: Google founder Eric Schmidt, model Gigi Hadid, and actress Kristen Stewart.
It’s a very small street, just 1/5 of a mile or ~300 meters long, with cobblestones and beautiful buildings, including:
- The trendy experimental theater The Gene Frankel Theatre with beautiful golden sculptures that seem to climb the building /📍24 Bond St, New York, NY 10012.
- An ultra-modern condo by BKSK Architects, also known for its buildings📍22 Bond St, New York, NY 10012.
- A quirky green residential building📍40 Bond St, New York, NY 10012 looks like an apartment building but actually consists of ground-floor townhouses and apartments above. The ground floor features 3D graffiti reminiscent of the tree roots from Angkor Wat (the Lara Croft film).
The architects are the star duo Herzog & de Meuron and Handel Architects. Herzog & de Meuron’s work includes such iconic buildings as the Parrish Art Museum and 56 Leonard Street. Handel Architects also designed the fountains at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
- A green condo at 📍41 Bond St, New York, NY 10012, where every window is like a small vertical vase, not to mention the garden canopy. Who are the architects? HTO Architect.
- A noble condo 📍25 Bond St, New York, NY 10012 with a marble facade, also by BKSK Architechts.
When you’re ready for a stroll, we recommend visiting the local cafes. For example, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine at the Italian restaurant 📍il Buco / 47 Bond St, New York, NY 10012.
