Artist Thomas Stevenson is the founder of Bivouac NYC, a pop-up rooftop campsite in East Williamsburg. According to John Leland of The New York Times, Stevenson built seven tents from canvas and wood, along with a picnic table and even a makeshift library. Reported one camper recently, "I went to bed with a belly full of whiskey, starlight and the sound of distant traffic. All is well on the rooftop."
