When I worked at 315 Park Avenue South, they used to paint ads on the side of our building. It was amazing to see how quickly these came together – as I watched briefly as I came into work, got lunch, and went home. It was no small canvas either.  The art of advertising murals [...]

Apparently I’ve decided to get some culture recently. In a recent one week span I went to a Devils game (they got destroyed by the Leafs), Avenue Q with Lincy, and a Nets game (they won).
I thought Avenue Q was pretty cute.  We didn’t quite get the logic as to when someone was a puppet. [...]

I can remember thinking about my day ahead as I walked down 23rd street this morning. I’d go the gym, and then get home in time for open mic night at Ristra. I walked into work at 8:45, the same as always, and sat at my desk [...]

NYTimes has a slide show of the plans for the High Line Park. This park will be located on the elevated subway platforms that run along the west side. It looks super rad.

On June 7 they will be moving Alexander Hamiliton’s “country home” a couple of blocks up near 141st street.  The best part of this article is the description of Hamiliton’s 32 acre northern Manhattan estate. 32 acres!?! Too bad he got shot in Weekhawken only a couple of years after it was built.

This isn’t exactly new news but I figured I should share anyway. Topshop has finally found a space for it’s first store in the US. Soho! The address is 478 Broadway. This is right near another import that I love, UNIQLO, which is at 546 Broadway. They’ve been talking about opening a NYC store for [...]

I was listening to WABC radio this morning and they were talking about the fire at the Deutsche Bank building. Apparently the subcontracting was done by a holding company called the John Galt Corporation. Obviously someone was an Ayn Rand fan. Oh the irony.
I wonder how many people caught that.

Yesterday I met up with my friend Ryan (and eventually his wife as well) in Soho. They are visiting from California. We did some shopping, had a snack at Rice to Riches, and walked to 11 Spring Street.

11 Spring Street has been an unoffical mecca of NY street art for ages, but it was [...]

I went to Burton’s 30th Anniversary party last night at their Soho Flagship store. It was a mix of pro riders, industry types, media and riders. My friend Eric was supposed to meet me there but his wife locked her self out and he had to go home to let her in.
