Air Massive Moves to New Downtown Digs

It's been quiet here on the Massive site the past week or two as we've been on hiatus, taking a short vacation before getting super busy with a big move to a new downtown space in New York City. We apologize to our regular readers for the lack of posts during this time.

We moved the Massive HQ back into the heart of the Lower East Side, and into our favorite part of the neighborhood, which, depending on with whom you speak, is sometimes also referred to as "Northeast Chinatown," "LoLIta," "LoHo" or "Bel-Del" (for Below Delancey Street). It's a fascinating part of NYC, one with tons of history, culture, bars, restaurants and music venues, as well as tons of diverse characters. It's a place where the living remnants of Manhattan's historic Jewish immigrant neighborhood of the Lower East Side rubs up against the newer bustle of Fujinanese Chinatown on one side and an old Puerto Rican barrio of "Losaida" on the other side farther to the north and east.

A few doors down from Massive HQ, in a now empty and decrepit tenement building, is where Lou Reed used to live back in his Velvet Underground days. Down the street you can find the best caipirinhas outside of Brazil. Around the corner, you can find the best fried dumplings outside of China. And a few blocks away you can drink the best espresso in Manhattan and eat the finest almond croissants outside of France. We fucking love it.

Now that we're done unpacking and have settled in, we thought we'd share some images of the new Air Massive nabe below.
