A bit late (again) but here an update about last week. You can say that I have seen quite some different worlds.
First of all I had a meeting with Greg Taubmann, a young director and founder of Extant Arts, a theater company with many Princeton actors. We met at Waverly Restaurant, a diner where [...]
Dear weblog readers,
Thank you very much for your entries in our first (monthly? bi-weekly?) contest. We hope some of you will lose your fear of interacting on this platform, and send in answers/suggestions to our next contest.
For those of you that did enter the competition: Thank you very much! It is good to see our [...]
Since we did not go and see any live music on Friday, this Saturday was Live Music Night for us. We went through the pages of the Village Voice, a free magazine that shows all sorts of listings. Live music is one of them. Of course, we wanted to try something new and different, and [...]
After last week, we have decided it is time to introduce a new category to our list. It started on Sunday, when we walked back from dinner and saw something was happening in an old abandoned garage just a block away from us. It first looked like a gallery opening, with a table with lots [...]
I thought it might be nice to get a feeling of what a typical day in the office looks like for me. So here it is.
I normally leave home between 8:15 and 9:00, and walk to the office. I’ve taken several different routes, but most of those take me along Bleecker Street for a bit. [...]
So, an update on our weekend (just before we have another one). Saturday we slept in until 10:oo after a night of Rockabilly in East Village. Jacco knew there was a market in the streets around Bleeker so we decided to check that out. But first breakfast at the Bayers Alehouse where we were served [...]
A bit late but here’s my update of last week. To begin with, it was a bit weird not to be on my bike on my way to work. I mean, the previous week was fun, like a holiday, but it felt like free time was up and work week began. Especially when I said [...]
Forgot to tell you all about my gift from Sjuul and Roland…a true Firefighters Calender! Yes, it’a as hot as the desirable Pirelli calender but in this case you get real life, well shaped firemen. Well, some of them may save me any time!
Sjuul and Roland, smokey eyed Patrick of July says hi!
New York is in love with signs. There are signs everywhere, telling you lots of things and mostly warning you about stuff. Most of these make some sort of sense. We will be posting more signs as we spot them. But here’s one for you. We’d love an explanation of this one. Don’t start googling [...]
As we may have mentioned before, we can actually see the top of the Empire State Building from our apartment. And normally, at night, the top is lighted. We’ve noticed many different colors, almost every night there’s a different combination. That got us to investigate the matter, and here’s what we’ve found:
1932: The first light [...]
