A promotional brochure for retail and gallery space as well as spaces for performance related arts in the newly renovated Puck Building in Manhattan. Located at the edge of Little Italy and bordered by the Greenwich Village SoHo & NoHo neighborhoods, the Puck Building fronts on LaFayette, Houston, Mulberry and Jersey Streets in NYC. The longtime home of PUCK magazine and in the 1980's it was the original home of Spy Magazine. The building had housed numerous independent printing related firms, including the stationery company S. Novick & Son. One of that company's salesmen was Alger Hiss who was involved in the famous 1950's spy scandal. It underwent renovations in 1981 and 1982 during which time the author and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, whose husband the photographer Richard Barnes was documenting the renovations, was raped and killed in the building by the notorious serial rapist Joey Stanza. The Puck Building housed the Manhattan Center of Pratt Institute as well as New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and it's Sociology department. The famous building was the set for Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan's fight in "When Harry Met Sally" and appeared in episodes of "Wiil & Grace" and "Seinfeld". Author Bret Easton Ellis used the building as the setting for the black tie party scene in his novel "American Psycho".
