Filling In City Holes With Legos

According to NewYorkology, artist Jan Vormann has been busy repairing some holes in New York City buildings with Legos! Vormann’s website now has a DispatchWork—New York section, which documents the latest Lego frenzy. He writes, “In cooperation with the Gallery Jarmuschek+Partner and the kind support of Henk Holzheimer (LEGO Graffity Styles Convention), I went to New York City, as part of the VOLTA artshow, to support Mayor Bloomberg in his everyday-struggle to make this city even more amazing." We think he succeeded.

My question is where is the Roy Rogers/Nathans??? What a delicious combo I want an original roast beef with Nathans fries dammit

That Roy Rogers/Nathans is at 33rd street and 7th avenue. Across the street from Penn Station. Not sure if you really want to eat in there. The restaurant just looks dirty like they haven't cleaned it for the 15 years they've been there.

This is like the sound of those old school telephones. Bor-ing! This has been done so many times before but instead of legos it's fairies, space invaders, or something whimsical,etc. but the artist has to actually take pictures of it and then call every art outlet to get noticed.
