70th St Between York Ave and 1st Ave

Are you sick? Are you injured? Do you think you're going to be sick or injured? If you've answered "yes" to any of these, you may want to consider taking a short cab ride on FDR to the Upper East Side. Home to something, like, 900 different clinics and hospitals, there's a good chance they can fix what ails ya' here.

The main attraction on the corner of this block is the Weill Cornell Medical College, which looks like it was designed by Pixar or Apple or someone associated with Steve Jobs. With a fractured & wavy wall and milky-white glass, the rest of neighborhood reflects on it in strange and unpredictable ways. Directly across the street an open public space features a strange swooping glass sign which changes as you walk by it. From any acute angle, the sign appears opaque and legible, however as you encounter it head-on, the glass appears clear....revealing nothing behind it except its gimmicky intentions.

As you walk down the street, the neighborhood transitions away from the medicinal to the alcoholic (which, I suppose, could be argued is medicinal in its own right). A handful of restaurants and bars share their space with some local shops and apartments- making it feel much more like a community and less like a medical campus.
