favorite new blog discovery - paris vs new york.
saw this on a cab the other day. loved it. more willy wonka references are needed in our everyday lives.
love the customization workspaces on display at these two new york sneaker stores: the brand new converse store in soho, and the nike stadium in the east village.
had to stop and photograph this tonight. first, it’s the most creative use of snow and cigarettes i’ve ever seen. second, if you think about it, it is a completely ephemeral work. forget about graffiti getting buffed, this was gone by the time i walked home later. lastly, it reminded me of another piece of street art i’d seen in france and posted about earlier this year.
time out new york has just posted a list of the ten best new burgers in new york. you can check out the full text with photos here. i think my winter mission may be to try them all.
went to the marathon’s finish line on sunday to support one of my closest friends’ dad as he ran his 14th new york city marathon. until i stood at the finish line and witnessed the looks of accomplishment on the runners’ faces i never understood the point of running 26.2 miles. now i want in.
went home and ordered running shoes (which i needed anyway) and today downloaded the couch to 5k iphone app. sure a 5k isn’t a marathon, but you gotta start somewhere. just completed day three of the training, and so far so good.
also huge congrats to my friends who ran last week. i’m hugely impressed by all of you.
street artist alec monopoly, whom i’ve posted about in the past, opened his first ever solo exhibit in new york city at a pop-up gallery. opening reception was a blast, and the show is incredible. definitely stop by before it’s gone.
the nijiya booth at the heater street fair serving taiyaki, fish-shaped waffles.
halloween on the subway.
sometimes it takes going to paris to find something from new york. in the palais de tokyo’s incredibly well curated gift shop i stumbled upon a t-shirt for the fictional pency prep school, the almost alma mater of holden coalfield, by nyc based company create build destroy.
the whitney museum of american art in nyc is putting on a very well curated live performance series on friday nights this summer in their lower gallery and sculpture garden. fridays also happen to be pay-what-you-wish admission, and admission is all that’s needed to attend these shows.
