Before it gets wiped off the map by melting glaciers, Manhattan's west side waterfront is enjoying an unprecedented moment of glitz, Newsweek writes, and it's all at the expense of the old guard: "Now that old order has been upended: much of Fifth Avenue has become a generic parade of retail shops (Abercrombie, Banana Republic, Tiffany), while the shoreline—especially along the West Side—has become a playground for boldfaced names in search of five-star urban charm." Palazzo Chupi = the new 720 Park, obviously. [Newsweek via CorcoTwit]
