By Carol A. Feuerman.  Installed at the northern tip of the long awaited and recently opened Lieutenant Petrosino Square (it’s actually a triangle, but whatever), this hyper-realistic and large installation never fails to stop people in their tracks as they cross Lafayette Street and Cleveland Place at Spring Street.  Survival of Serena first debuted at the 2007 Venice Biennale and went on to win first prize at the Beijing Biennale the following year.  It’s an unexpected and wonderful addition to this insanely bustling and culturally rich neighborhood.

We earn our living selling New York City. The next day is never like the last. The last is never ordinary. We witness all sorts. We listen to the City’s noise. We devour its phenomenal food. On the Real is our documentary. It is your pack of unfiltered New York 100s.
