earth room

The Earth Room is a Soho loft filled with dirt; naturally I wanted to see it.  You aren't allowed to take pictures inside, so this is the only shot I have. There is an interesting video about the employee that maintains the piece:

jumpsuits

Random, but what are our thoughts on jumpsuits? I think they are kinda cute...although potentially very annoying when you have to pee. Thoughts?

staten island adventure day

When my friend Julia asked if I would be interested in exploring Staten Island, the answer was obvious (duh, of course!). Our first stop was Fort Wadsworth, one of the oldest military installations in the country (above and below).

Next, we visited New York's only Tattoo Museum, complete with historical reenactments, vintage flash and a large collection of machines (below).

Feeling culturally inspired, we decided to check out the Tibetan Museum - a little uninspiring, although its random suburban location was kinda interesting.

Conveniently located near the museum is New York's only Frank Lloyd Wright designed house - The Crimson Beech. The original owners had the pieces manufactured in Wisconsin and shipped to Staten Island, where the house was erected in 1959.

After a short pizza break, we headed to my favorite landmark of the day - the tugboat graveyard. This scrapyard reminded me a lot of my trip to Dead Horse Bay except way creepier.

waffle time

Your eyes do not deceive you - that is indeed a waffle used as bread on a chicken, tomato and feta sandwich. Brooklyn, you think of everything.

california gold

Loving these California inspired posters from my friends over at Lab Partners. Check out their newly re-designed site - it looks amazing!

newtown creek nature walk

The Newtown Creek Nature Walk was designed by George Trakas and built by various NYC governmental departments as part of an "upgrade" to the nearby water treatment plant. It's definitely random and there really isn't a lot of nature happening. This article (with unintentionally identical image) kinda sums it up. It was, however, a really beautiful day to go for a walk....
