New High Line Billboard: Allison Katz, Don’t Ask

Spotted at 10th Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets: a giant billboard featuring two chickens (well, one hen and one rooster, to be specific) casually crossing the road — but don’t expect a punchline. This clever and surreal artwork, titled Don’t ASK by artist Allison Katz, is part of the High Line’s rotating public art series. With its deadpan humor and painterly style, the piece turns the classic joke setup into an open-ended moment of reflection. Why are they crossing? Katz leaves it up to the viewer — and maybe that’s the whole point. This installation will be up only  through August 2025.

Pink Thing of The Day: Eat Neon Sign with Pink Arrow

Eat Neon Sign

This fun vintage sign was photographed by me when I was eating dinner with some friends at Big Daddy’s Diner on Park Avenue South near 19th Street. They have very good food and excellent service. Also, you can play the Trivial Pursuit card game at your table while you wait for your meal.
