Good morning, friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and have something fun to look forward to this week. It's a rainy, gloomy morning here in NYC, so what a perfect morning to find a comfy spot in my office (aka Starbucks) and blog away.
- To celebrate my parents' anniversary on Friday, we went out to dinner at Stone Creek Inn in Quogue (NY) and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere of the entire restaurant is quite soothing and pleasant, so if you are looking for a low key but special dining experience, Stone Creek is a great choice. P.S. I highly recommend the tuna tartare appetizer and the salted caramel ice cream.
a photo taken in a spot where i spent much of the night -
the ladies bathroom.
the girls always have to visit the ladies room at least once,
occasionally twice or three times, during a meal at a restaurant,
so i spend more than my fair share of time in bathroom stalls.
luckily, the bathroom at stone creek inn was lovely with a beautifully tiled floor,
but it was a little chilly in there!
- Have you heard of the artist Nick Cave?
He is a Missouri-born, 50 something, mixed media artist who creates incredibly elaborate costumes (for lack of a better word) out of a variety of materials. The actual costumes are sold, as are photographs of the artist wearing the costumes, and one of his photographs was what I first saw and loved. To give you an idea of his work:
the above is made out of human hair.
- There was an article in this weekend's Wall Street Journal about Underground New York Public Library, a "visual library featuring the Reading-Riders of the NYC subways." The photographer and blog's creator, Ourit Ben-Haim, is a self-proclaimed street photographer who captures subway riders engrossed in their books on a daily basis. Warning: once you start looking through the photos on the blog, you may not be able to stop.
