Here is the location of number 2 in Banksy's October 2013 New York series. It's a graffiti tag that says "THIS IS MY NEW YORK ACCENT ...normally I write like this."
I probably don't need to say it, but none of these will last very long.

Street artist Banksy ran wild in New York in October 2013 adding a new piece each day somewhere in the city for a real-time show he called BETTER OUT THAN IN.
Here's the former location of day 1, a street urchin standing on his friend's back pointing to a sign that reads "GRAFFITI IS A CRIME."
It's already been painted over, but you can listen to the audio guide on his site for some tongue-in-cheek info about the piece.

The photo on the cover of Big L's 1995 debut Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous was taken on the corner of Lenox Avenue and West 139th Street in Harlem.
On the album Big L calls 139 and Lenox the "Danger Zone," which I guess it is. In 1999 he was shot and killed during a drive-by not even a block away when he was only 24.
