Here’s the Kickstarter video for the LowLine project: a proposal to turn an abandoned subway terminal on the Lower East side into the world’s first underground park; essentially the High Line underground (hence, the LowLine).

Sharon Van Etten/La Blogotheque - 20 beautiful minutes of Van Etten performing an intimate show in someone’s living room in Paris front of a fire. I would have been bawling my eyes out.
