Opposite Song was one of the better songs Andrew Bird played at Radio City Music Hall. The rest of the show was so so. you can see more at my blog ephman.com
this was a nice surprise opening band. basically they're all classically trained, but play a unique blend of rock, jazz, fusion, and soothing sounds. a bit pink floydish too!
the nyc marathon is one of the best sporting events to watch. first off it's free, and you can see so many great parts of the city as you follow the athletes around.
this is i think the last or one of the last remaining impromptu memorials for 9/11. started just a few days later, really a nice place to visit believe it or not.
You see one NYC street fair you've seen them all. The close streets off, and sell all the kinds of food that can kill you, and just basically junk stuff. But they are fun to go and walk through.
Chelsea Market has become a boutique food market. It used to be really quaint and quiet. However the changes has been good. The could use a butcher, but the seafood market is the best in the city.
The White Horse Tavern is an institutional watering hole. They have a great sidewalk patio, and really comfortable bar stools for those all day events...
There are all these funny Japanese cafeterias just off of 5th Avenue south of 42nd Street. The places are really good for an inexpensive luch, which is not that typical for Japanese food.
This place is fantastic to get a really good bag that looks great, and will last forever. Basically they make custom messenger bags, but they also have a lot of other great looks kinds of bags too.
the chelsea wine vault in the chelsea market is a pretty cool place if you like wine. it's really big for a nyc wine store, and they have just about everything you'd need. downstairs is the actual vault that the top nyc restaurants keep their wine.
The Nike Store is a great place. I know it's sort of tourist place here in nyc, but they also have only one of four NikeID locations. You can customize your own shoe (more selection then online).
Such a great shoe store. They only sell their brand, and I think this is the only store. It's located in Chelsea. Really comfortable shoes, and well made.
This is my supermarket. The funny thing is that it has CARPET. Figured it must be to cut down on slip and fall lawsuits. CLASSIC... but what a pain to keep stain free.
Vlogged at Muji today. Muji just moved to NYC from Japan. First came across this store when I was in London. Kind of like a Japanese Ikea... but cooler
