Walkabout NYC – May 2011

Inspired by Danny Choo‘s long running A Week in Tokyo series (possible NSFW link), I want to post an odd assortment of photos taken around NYC in the month of May. Instead of one off twitpics, a series of unrelated NYC photos makes for good juxtaposition. Dorky yet amusing. You can never have too much [...]

There is No Such Thing as Perfect

If you’re into food, especially meals that you could never afford, there’s a great photo comparison of Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry & Per Se by TheFeast. The photos and accompanying captions do an excellent job of showing the similarities and differences between Keller’s Michelin 3 star restaurants. The sign that hangs in both of [...]

Uniqlo X Canon

Uniqlo rocks. I went there to return some stuff and ended up buying a graphic T while browsing. They have T-shirt collaborations with brands (such as MGS) that constantly cycle. While I enjoyed Naruto several years ago, I’m too old to be wearing Konoha merch. They currently have a Corporate Collaboration theme for T-shirts. This [...]

Foursquare Hackathon

Just got back from a very fun Foursquare Hackathon. Contrary to some opinion, there was a lot of hacking done. 40 projects are on the wiki at the time of writing. Hail to the Mayor is particularly intriguing one since the idea is that when the mayor (or other specified person) checks in to a [...]

Canstructed at the WFC Winter Garden

I made the trek over to Battery Park to check out Canstruction in the WFC Winter Garden. Throughout the shopping mall, there are can sculptures of different themes. The sculptures are on display for two weeks and then donated to charity for use. A giant Mario, presumably about to eat the mushroom. A close-up of [...]

Google Hotpot

Just came across Hotpot. The UI is very simple to use once you get into it. You simply search for a location and then rate/review. The list of locations has already been pre-populated by Google Map’s places. This site wants to be social, but nobody I know has accepted my Hotpot invite yet. This includes [...]

Food around town: 5th Ave, Serendipity, and San Gennaro

Here’s a catch up post for some food in the city. There’s the usual overpriced bar drink in NY. Then there’s the free, all you can drink cheap stuff at luxury retailers on 5th Ave. Fashion’s Night Out 2010 was the latter. Getting free drinks in Zegna, Versace, etc. while in said stores is simply [...]
