new york nowadaze

[ketan]

headed there later this week for the weekend with my wife. kids are gonzo at my parents.

what's populatin? where the tasty snacks at?

i know about bam/gilles/quantic doing summerstage - that's definitely happening. any other clubs/djs to czech?

we're hanging with some old friends who are commercial designers, but from out of town. we're probably going to check out the new whitney, but what other artiste shows are great right now?

probably won't have time for records, but will stop by places if i'm on shopping release. (but seriously, any good record shows or fleas happening?)

Hey Ketan, here is a link to a pretty decent thread of recommendations that Strutters have regarding NYC: http://www.soulstrut.com/forums/viewthread/75174/





I doubt you'll get all the way to Flushing but if you do, White Bear has some of the best dumplings I've ever had in my life...super cheap too:

Number 6 is soooo freakin good:

Also...if you find yourself in Flushing, Hahm Ji Bach has really damn good korean BBQ:

All the way?





New York = Houston to 59th street.

Which neighbourhood will you be in?

Staying in Chelsea.





One of our friends is a shoe designer, so that sneaker exhibit might just work!

I fucks with this particular brand of sarcasm :beerbang:





Folks fortunate enough to live in it shouldn't take it for granite. Embrace them boroughs...

Definitely worth it. Also, if you have time for record hunting, check out Human Head in Bushwick. My favourite store in BK.

stoked to be checking out Ray Lugo & the Boogaloo Destroyers with Joe Bataan Pete Rodriquez and Richie Ray tomorrow at Lincoln Center Out of Doors show. Saun and Starr are also playing that same night at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center. Both will be killer I just wish they weren't at the same time!

if you can't make it out to Flushing for chinese food there's a Xi'an Famous Foods on St Marks. The lamb burger is pretty good. And the "lamb face salad" is not a bad translation but in fact a rather literal description of the dish.

Flushing Medows is there. I've never been so I can't speak on how awesome it is. I assume it doesn't suck. Flushing isn't that far, despite how it might look. Last stop on the 7 train. You could probably string some fun shit together along the way.





Also, I suggest using an app like 'hopstop' to navigate. It's only for iPhone but I'm sure there are equivalents for droid. HopStop was great when I was last in the city because there was a lot of construction on the subway lines....no big whoop because the app automatically rerouted trips accordingly. It's just a great app to show you the best route to whatever you want to go to and it also shows you travel times, etc.

I thought they meant the cheeks. It was the cheeks + other assorted face parts.
