Do you know what these buildings are? (East Village)

I'm trying to figure out what the buildings from 5th St to 2nd St and from 1st Ave to Avenue A are. I see that there's a PS in between 4th St and 3rd St, but I'd like to know what those not-quite-so-north-to-south buildings are. Anyone know?

He's been out of undergrad for five years and starting out doing back office in Philly at some F500 and was most recently a "marketing rep" for a F500 in the Midwest.

Is it really *that* hard to get into a t6/t5 b-school?

Anybody know anyone in restructuring in the NY office? I wonder what the outlook is for the group there.

I assume the SF restructuring group won't be jumping--assuming there is anyone there other than Henkin.
