LaLa LiLu

First fashion shoot in NYC for Lauren's (previous post) designs.  For more info, check out her site.  HUGE thanks to Lauren, Anna, and Erika (new roomie!) for modeling for me, you guys rocked the whole afternoon!

"You can trust me, I'm from the Bronx!"

Or so says Mr. Performance Artist Guy at Union Square...

Feasting in Astoria

If you want really awesome greek food in NYC, you gotta head to Queens...by the time Kim heads back to Texas, I'm going to have an entirely new food portfolio on my hands.

Met Wanderings Part Deux

The Electric Lassi Acid Test

Panna II, East Village:  This neon sardine can of a restaurant was a purveyor of delicious Indian food and a total mindfuck at the same time.  And it's BYOB.  Therefore, I highly recommend it.

Minton's in Harlem

We were in the mood for some jazz and drinks, so we ventured to Harlem to find them.  

St. Patty's Day, Brooklyn

Erin go bragh

NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade 2009 = A lot of people who'd been drinking since well before noon, and few people who actually waited for the p.m. change over.

Manhattan Bridge

Little Italy

Tiramisu and cappuccino at Caffe Roma at Mulberry and Broome en route from Chinatown to Union Square.  So glad we decided to walk back, and so so glad we stopped here, it was by far the best tiramisu I have ever had.  

Chinatown

dried, salted fish stomach at one of the herbal medicine shops

  dirt cheap yet oh so delicious lunch at a random noodle house on Bowery

Had a blast roaming lower manhattan with this lady today...she is hell bent doing an eating tour of NYC's various neighborhoods, and I can definitely say we covered a lot of ground in four hours.  Still a long way to go for the next 5 days, but more on that later.  

a night at the old red school house

Bug's gallery show in Bushwick involved a raucous evening of drinks, dancing, and a little bit of deviance. The art was an awesome mix of lithographs, mixed media pieces, and, of course, this guy's amazing pictures.
