Art Show

Ellyn and I went along with our friend Suvi to the Armory Art Show yesterday. I took lots of photos, but mostly for my own inspiration and not to share here. But, here are a couple of elly.
One thig I did notice was how many ironic/witty/nonsensical neon signs there were. A new hot trend. Also, many galleries felt they needed to bring their Calder sculptures out, like a pissing contest for art galleries.
We also saw Watchmen and went to a little punk rock show where She Keeps Bees opened. Good times.
A few views

Here are four selections from a photography project I did for my Media Concepts class. Just a simple little set of photos that offer strange or familiar views. The first view is from Williamsburg; the second from Riverside Park on the Upper West Side; the third, a view of some street trash in Brooklyn; and the last a dead plant that sat in my stairwell for a few weeks.

Sweet and Savory

Playing a little catch-up, ellyn and made an evening of our visit to the Craperie, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant we saw on an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay.
Flay visited to learn about the proper way to make a Crepe. We visited to lean about the proper way to eat them.
I love crepes, and the Creperie didn’t disappoint. Like true food critics, we sampled something form each category.
For our main course, we shared the “Winter House Special” — a brie, tomato, basil and avocado combo — and a prosciutto, mozzarella and sun-dried tomato savory crepe. The winter special was fresh and clean, while the prosciutto crepe was salty and delicious. We scarfed them down with a smile.
Of course, we couldn’t pass up on a sweet dessert. We chose a fruit combo and a crepe off the chocolate menu, just to make sure our bases were covered. I loved the strawberry, banana, brown sugar and caramel crepe, and ellyn drowned herself in the dark chocolate and fresh raspberry puree crepe. Both were decadent and mouthwatering. A good date with good eats. Thanks Bobby Flay.
