Instant classic. Shim-Sutcliffe did their hometown good.

Ha! Let's just say when you factor in the quality of the food, service and architecture, you start to justify those ravioli prices real quick...
Our waiter did however mention something called "millionaire's ravioli" which included seasonal white truffles for those truly looking for a break-the-bank experience

So we can show up in biking booty shorts as Mr. Towered calls 'em, as long as we're willing to sacrifice a limb when ordering something... >.<

This is breathtaking. I especially like the use of orange light in the lobby/ restaurant. Gives warmth to all that exposed concrete.
A few nights ago…

Someone enjoying the swank! A fine way to treat oneself for the holidays!

That's not all that uncommon, while it may be a species thing, it's most often, a reflection of where the trees were grown. Trees develop habits based on their local growing environment as well as the genetic info imparted by parent trees. So a tree that was grown in a nursery in the Carolinas, from seed from there, might be use to carrying its leaves into December.
I don't know that that is the case here, but it's a common issue.
It's one more reason (aside from accidentally importing invasive species and pests) why it's best to source trees and shrubs grown locally, from local seed.
Locally, there are no native, deciduous trees that should be carrying green leaves at this point.
Oaks and Beeches may hold their leaves in browns and yellows through early spring.

Lovely pics. If I were to have a staycation in the City, it would be here.
Not to continue this off-topic discussion too much, but I see this with a lot of the oaks on my street. Funny enough, for most of them it's only the bottom 1/4 (of the tree's canopy) still holding their leaves.
