Whenever I go to New York, I always tell myself I am just going to stay home but every time I go back there is always so many new things to see!! It’s really the city that never sleeps! 🙂
Giant Hello Kitty in midtown.
From the New York Observer : Japanese artist Sebastian Masuda is bringing his multi-city Time After Time Capsule project to the Big Apple in the form of a nine-foot-tall giant sculpture of Kitty that New Yorkers can deposit personal objects into. The sculpture will go on view April 29 through September 13 at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza at 47th Street and 2nd Avenue, just around the corner from Japan Society.
The main feature of the project are large-scale, hallow sculptures of kawaii characters (the Japanese-exported “cute” phenomena, which has exploded worldwide and garnered Tokyo’s Harajuku fashion district international notoriety). The artist, who has been active on the Japanese youth culture scene since 1995, is also the director of 6%DOKIDOKI, a kawaii concept story in Harajuku. The project kicked off in Miami at last year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, and will move to Amsterdam after its NYC run. At each location, programming will be held for children and families where they’ll be encouraged to combine their personal objects with pieces from the 6%DOKIDOKI line, and add them to the time capsule. Sculptures from each city will reunite in 2020 in Tokyo for the city’s summer Olympics

The American cuisine is inspired by Ralph Lauren’s favorite dishes – crispy kale salad, crab cakes, corned beef sandwich and steaks. The star of the dessert list is Ralph’s coffee ice cream homemade with Ralph’s custom coffee blend
And yes he got his wish, a photo by the Bull in the Financial District

We were reminiscing as we were passing by St. Bart’s where the wedding of Ken and Faith was and we saw this long line in front and in the end (51st st and Park Avenue) was this blue food truck – Uncle Gussy’s Greek Cuisine. I want to try this next time!!! I googled it and they are there Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm
