so. . . when we moved ourselves out of manhattan, and into the wilds of williamsburg (brooklyn) what we didn't fully have a grasp on, was the inconsistency of train service on the weekends via our prime source of transportation, the highly scourged 'L.' On those weekends when the train is oh, so inconveniently not running, we hike ourselves down to the JMZ, another train that manhattanites infrequently frequent. this is the hewes stop, which by the way, has a great bar/restaurant directly underneath it, that everyone (everyone!) should check out: moto http://circa1938.com/
when i first moved myself to new york much of the reason i was so long detained in san francisco had to do with the office space we now inhabit being fully occupied by 50+ employees of some other company. so, we took up shop on the south edge of soho (really that slightly grey area where soho and chinatown begin to overlap.) we found ourselves in the third floor of a building with an only chinese speaking doorman who was very agreeable, 'yes' he would answer to any question posed him, working, the three of us, around a 4 x 8 piece of plywood on sawhorses. The neighborhood is incredible. oh, how i miss it. so i took some friends to a couple of my favorite places to go look open-mouthed and wide-eyed at beautiful things that i can not afford and snapped a picture while i was there.

"within all objects there lies an inherent beauty. As time passes, this singular quality becomes an expression of the simplicity of form, function, and placement . . . a sensitivity to nature and its truths."
