Gurley Milling Co. | 1950′s Flour Sacks
With my college years starting down south in North Carolina (Greensboro, to be exact), I remember driving through Princeton, N.C. on my way to the Outerbanks. Not a bad drive, knowing that the beaches lay just ahead.
Did I miss the Super Bowl? | 1975-76 Vintage Collector Series
The answer is no- I did see the Superbowl, but didn’t find these vintage 1975 and 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl beer cans in time to post them before the game. Maybe they would have won if only I had found them in time. Damn. Sorry Pittsburgh. Nonetheless, a great game.
NYC Street Food | Food Trucks
I am one who loves what has affectionately become known as “street food”. Not necessarily the dirty-water dogs or the pretzels warmed over charcoal then sprayed with water and dredged in kosher salt. Although I guess there are times that could warrant such delicacies. What I’m talking about is the ever-growing choices of absolutely delicious [...]
Cafe Du Monde | Chicory is Your Friend
While visiting my grandparents in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and having a moment to stroll through A Southern Season, I found what has become a mainstay to my morning coffee. Initially drawn to the coffee cans for their stand-out orange and maroon colored graphic, I quickly found that the product inside the can was far [...]
Oyster Bar | Vintage NYC Dining
Commuting is not always the greatest thing. Week to week and year to year, back and forth out of Grand Central Terminal can be a bit monotonous. With that said, there are bright spots. The nearly 100 year old structure itself is breathtakingly beautiful (thanks to the late Jacqueline Onassis’s power of persuasion in saving [...]
An Apple A Day | Salinger’s Orchard
If there is one thing that represents Fall to me, it has to be the apple. With that in mind, I am the luckiest guy around to be living right in the middle of the very best apple growing region in the world (my opinion)- the Northeast. The crisp crunch and ultra sweet flavor that [...]
Myers of Keswick | British Goods
One of my favorite spots in NYC to pick up some tasty treasures is Myers of Keswick, on Hudson St. at Horatio. A great little neighborhood to stroll on a sunny day as well. Myers is essentially a traditional mom & pop market, but with a small difference. Everything in Myers is either made in [...]
The Blazer Pub | The Real Deal
I am forever on the lookout for “the real deal”. No homogenized franchised experience, no wolf in sheep’s clothing, the real deal. “Real deals” do not copy and they do not need to compete. They deliver consistently because they do what they do best.
Schooner | Beers, Boats & Races
When I was growing up my father used to race sail boats, often schooners. The two biggest races were from Marblehead, Massachusetts to Halifax, Nova Scotia and the other from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda.
Graphic Clarity | Change Of Plans
There’s something to say about malicious false advertising- and then there is advertising that unintentionally doesn’t deliver the correct message. In the case of the above, there was clearly no devious scheme involved, but it surely made me stop and think about the many pieces of art and graphics that I work on that are [...]
