I like characters that don't play within the rules.

PRIME BURGER
Headed to Prime Burger tonight with my vegetarian friend Lucid (seriously). The style and manner of this restaurant appear so welcoming, I wish I'd known of it when I lived on E 54th.
After 74 years in business, they will shut their doors Sunday.
Keep you posted.
HELL YUP.

PULSE, NYC
Sunday, equipt with a press pass via Noah & Nick, Tori and I walked up to W 18th to peep Pulse. It was a good size show, just enough that I felt accomplished after, but not taxing enough to feel Armory whupped.
Of the artists I discovered, Simon Schubert was my favorite. Check out his site and see his stuff sometime.

HAPPY BORN DAY CHIEF KEITH!

Shouts to my neighborhood gym, Tony Diapolito Center, where we all can appreciate a fresh Keith mural. It's almost pool time!

QUEENS MUSEUM
NOTE: Take a deep breath....
You know when you find something you really like online and at the exhaustion of your computer you keep the tab open all week because you can't shut down your computer because that will close the tab and the inspiration from the story or photo or video or whatever will close along with it?
Right. Same here.
So, Monday, that happened to me with the below image, captured in Williamsburg, BK, in 1959, by Frank Oscar Larson. The Queens Museum is showing this image and 59 others from Feb 5th - May something-th. Go check it out.
Post Script:I'm closing the tab and restarting my comp. DOK, sounds like a bike ride and a good excuse to hit Flushing for lunch!

THE FAT BOYS x SWATCH
Spiked by the decline of music videos on TV over the past 10 years, musician brand alignment has grown steadily and become more popular than ever. That said, it's nothing new.
THE FAT BOYS manager, Charlie Stettler, is Swiss and brokered an early deal with Swatch. The commercials were all over MTV at a time when Hip Hop was not programmed on the music channel.
There's always a way... PROPS.

HEROS
"I can’t wait for the day when I see pigeons chasing children."
Growing up, I was surrounded by some real characters that I'm thankful for and still inspired by today - Natas, Lance Mountain, Flea, Flava Flav, and so on.
The Gonz was and remains a big inspiration and a genuinely "on one" kinda guy. I came across an article from OYSTERMAG recently and thought you'd dig it.
ENJOY!
Post Script: After the article, watch the Coconut Records video, Dir by Gonzales, for a taste of his personality.

Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer
Last night, @kitpeterson, @peteroasis and I rode uptown to the newly rennovated amphitheater in Marcus Garvey park. The intent was to peep Charlie Ahearn's newest documentary on photographer Jamel Shabazz. The result was an incredible insight into a NYC ghetto culture of the 70's and 80's that has greatly influenced fashion, dance, visual art & music ever since... Find this film and watch it. Do the KNOWLEDGE!

EATALY
Eataly is the kinda place I instantly and blindly hate on. Fuck Eataly, I have Rafetto's, Pino's and Joe's Dairy no more than 3 blocks from my fire escape.
Monday afternoon, Tori and I walked up 5th Ave to Batali's Disneyland and I was very pleasantly surprised. The space is large and the layout is open with 5 or so main sections - Butchers, Seafood (w/ a crada bar), Desserts, Produce, walls of Olive Oil, etc. I found the typography to be easy to navigate and the feel very clean with white tiles, hints of marble and just enough bright light. Condiments, sweets & beautiful cans of everything Italian color the space between the main areas. It's a good looking place.
While walking through the little pathways I stumbled upon the WALL of Olive Oil and was immediately asked if I needed any help or was interested in a tasting. Duhhh, um, yea... The sommelier of oil let us taste 2 diff oils and talked with us about some others until we were sorted with a much improved bottle for about the same price I'd been paying for the Colavita "crap" (he literally called it crap which was a bit much, but he'd earned a pass).
I was surprised to find much of the pricing appealing. Sure, you can buy 40 dollar lb of mushrooms, a glass of 15 dollar vino and a can of sardines for 100 clams, but you can also scoop a special bunch of carrots, a couple hands full of dark purple potatoes or some perfectly caliente green chilli peppers for less than a subway swipe. Furthermore, why hate on matchless, Italian imports priced for people who can afford such things? Eataly is on 23rd st, 25 years removed from Jim Carroll & Chris Mack's 23rd st. of wandering methadoners.
So, next time you're in the hood, stop by for a snack or a quick once over - they did a wonderful job with the place.
HELL YUP!
Post Script: I'm goin' back for those sardines!
