When we think of crumbling urban landscapes, our minds tend to wander to Detroit, Baltimore and other cities far beyond our bustling metropolis. But needless to say, New York is not all shiny Frank Gehry buildings and perfect brownstones—vacant buildings dot the five boroughs as well, serving as reminders of industries, families and stories that have come and gone. Photographer and location scout Nathan Kensinger has spent time documenting these relics, and tonight at 7:30pm he’ll share the results in a free lecture at Pete’s Candy Store. “Pretty, Vacant: A Slideshow of Abandoned New York” is an eye-opening (and sublimely beautiful) look at a side of New York most people never see, including the abandoned mansions of Admiral’s Row at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, beached ships littering Dead Horse Bay and the ghostly interiors of the Domino’s Sugar Factory.
