      Going wild! Nice.

      Imagine if it took over all of Manhattan...

      This is incredible. I love that it looks like the green is crawling down the building to take over more of the city.

      Where is this located? I'd like to find it in Google Earth too. Thx!

      I've just plotted (what I think is) the building's location in Flickr. It's right around NYU.

      Thank you! The location looks perfect. The Google Earth community added a marker with the building's address and searching on that,419 Lafayette St, 10003, found many interesting tenants including Plum TV, Index Universe, Bandwidth Consulting, Karen Foley Photography, and more. The trees on the roof are amazing from overhead too.
