More quality New York-centrism from The New York Times :P
- aaronharnly 8y agoI think that's an accurate (enough) caption for the photo, which is a picture of a thing that says "Google" -- ie it's the headquarters in Manhattan; which is not the world headquarters. > Google, which already employs about 7,000 in the city, has its New York headquarters at 111 Eighth Avenue, one of the city’s largest buildings that it bought in 2010. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-alphabet-google-new-york/google-plans-to-expand-office-space-in-new-york-city-wsj-idUSKCN1ND083 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-alphabet-google-new-york/... > Google's current New York Headquarters is in the former Port Authority of New York building. It occupies an entire long city block between 8th and 9th Avenues and between 15th and 16th Streets. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/12/google-announces-major-expansion-in-new-york-city/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/12/google-announces...
- bookofjoe 8y agoFrom the Reuters story: "Google also plans to expand its existing property at Chelsea Market by about 300,000 square feet, WSJ said citing people briefed with the matter." Off-topic: The Chelsea Market location is where I had to go to pick up my Google Glass in June 2013. Early adopters ("Explorers":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Glass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Glass) had to go to Google offices in LA, SF, or NYC to get them and have them fitted and calibrated. Later, when Google expanded their availability to the general public, they simply shipped them to your home or office like any other electronic device.
