Great map of the wealth by neighborhood in New York City.
Watched Man on Wire of high-wire artist Philippe Petit known for tight-roping across the World Trade Centers. It was fabulous, and I definitely recommend it!
Pop Up Flea is back this weekend. Kicks off this afternoon/3pm with a lot of the brands you know, and a lot you don’t. Check out their new location this year at 159 Bleecker.
One thing that’s lacking from my bar at home is a gin bottle. Normally I don’t need gin, because whiskey will always do, but you need a full bar, right? Bombay or Hendrick’s were the obvious choices, but then I came across Brooklyn Gin. The amazing bottle sure makes up for the lack of a real web site, or the fact that I don’t even know if it’s any good. At this rate I might have my whole bar from Brooklyn (see here).
Trojanowski Liqours in Williamsburg sells it, and it’s also sold elsewhere around New York. They have it on the shelf at one of my new favorite bars, next to my friends’ new place, The Drink. If you’re in Manhattan, Freemans also has it.

Check out one of my favorite Mike D of the Beastie Boys as he tells us his favorite five places to grab a bite in the New York City area thanks to Immaculate Infatuation.
What an appropriate time to talk about gelato then on a day with mounds of snow on the streets. Once this mess melts PopBar might be my first day of Summer activity. I’m craving these so much from the pictures. This is coming from the kid who lived in the Little Italy of Boston (North End) and never tasted gelato. This will all end once the sun comes out.
Here is the latest poster for Little Anchor’s upcoming show with Anni Rossi, DEIDRE, and Uncles at Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Little Anchor will be performing their revamped single “Until Our Eyes Adjust”, as well as handing out free copies of the single which I was also lucky enough to illustrate/design. I’ve seen the CDs and they are looking awesome, and will have photos later. In the meantime blog this poster, and also check out Little Anchor’s website new site, which I’ve tried my best disguise from looking like a Tumblr page.
Dig the work of Chris Silas Neal who works up at Greenpoint’s Pencil Factory. His handwritten typography, colors, and textures makes his work really interesting and inspiring. My favorite piece is the above Fleet Foxes poster. I just love the color combo with the rad illustrations.
A little insight into a day in the life of Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist.
I interviewed him for the Village Voice once and he was really sweet and chatty, which are the best possible qualities for a Q&A. We talked about how cool old baseball uniforms were, and how he’s not a fan of the Yankees’ new poly-blend pinstripes.

League of Two is a short show about successful collaborators and what they do exactly, such as Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti. Except know one really knows what they do, they just do…awesome things. Such as the the grand opening of the Going out of Business store, which is going out of business of course.
All I want to do is have plenty of money to do random shit like this with a couple smart people I know. If you don’t laugh at least a little from this video I guess we have different taste.
Jon Jackson had lived in Los Angeles his whole life, but once he became a Creative Director at HUGE in Brooklyn he had to say goodbye. The breakup was a rough, but visually pleasing. Adidos LA.
