Arepas

There's a few places that I rotate in my arsenal of 'places to grub when friends come into town'. Caracas Arepas Bar is, in my opinion, tops. It's vying for the number one spot with Cafe Habana.

Arepas, you ask, what are they?! An arepa is a disc of a corn patty fried, then sliced open and stuffed with meaty, cheesy, salsa-y heaven. The Venezuelan brother of the pupusa, if you know what that is.

Anyway, Caracas Arepas Bar is the bomb. The arepas there come stuffed with a combination of things like friend plantains, pulled pork, guayanes cheese, chimi curri sauce, black beans, chorizo....and they have this sauce that's, I swear, laced with crack.

If you haven't try it, then you're missing out. There's one around the corner from my house...and it takes all my willpower not to have one everyday.

Old friend Gabe was in town this past week, and we had a couple of lovely Brooklyn days.

Cheese or Font?

Richelieu? Crowdie? Ubriaco? Manslem? Livarot?

PLAY HERE! It's addictive. Just like cheese.

Kandinsky @ Guggenheim

Cannot WAIT to check out the show.  Our friend Roberta Smith gives it a very respectable review.

Computer Fail

RIP Powerbook G4.  You were so good to me over the years.  You let me do so much to you and never complained.

So now, my tech-starved self is in the market for a new laptop. 

This is what I want. 

This is more like what I will have to end up getting.  

But you know, once you go Mac, you can never go back.

yoga + unemployment

I'm not the only one.

Clive Murphy @ Magnan Projects

Going to stop by Clive's opening on Friday at Magnan Projects. Clive's work is always larger than life, sometimes in terms of size and other times in terms of ideas.

Plus I hear there's going to be a goat roast. Yes, a goat. On a spit. Over a fire. In the middle of a New York sidewalk. At an art opening.

A must-see event.

Birthday Clip for Laura K

A pretty little flower clip for little Laura K. Now, if I can muster enough energy to make a twin clip for her twin sister....

These scrunched fabric flowers are replacing my yarn flowers as 'flair of the moment'.

I'm not talented, I just know how to follow directions. Thank goodness for the interweb.

Thursday morning tidbits

So many things this morning.

First of all, yoga in the morning is the bomb.

Next, can we please give a woot to this amazing website? I am a sucker for typography.

Then, let's talk about THIS. (Or, for a better picture but the same thing, THIS) I will be visiting my friend MC, who lives around the corner, much more often.

Finally, can everyone look at my new shoes? The Bensimon is the Parisian's answer to the Converse. They're comfortable and will make you look cooler, I swear. At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm struttin' the streets of W'burg. And psst! Here's a secret: On uber-sale for $9.99 at Urban!

Have a good day y'all.
