Photographs from a quirky flea market in Hells Kitchen on day 5. I wish we had these in the UK rather than dull and uninspiring car boots.

Cookies n Cream
Saw this really cool illustrated icecream truck on the sidewalk in Soho. How innovative and inventive to sell designer goods on the move. They were so encapturing, blasting upbeat hip hop tunes to city shoppers. So fun and fresh!

MoMa
Inside the creative walls of the prestigious Museum of Modern art.
I found this sign very inspiring with the use of colour and words, sort of like MoMa’s manifesto.
I just like how I have caught the reflection of the viewers in the piece.
Jasper Jones – Flag (1954-55)
I like the rustic look of this piece and the textural qualities from the collaged surface. However the concept is too generic for me.
Classic Warhol wallpaper, very eye catching indeed.
Warhol’s Marylyn. I love the worn effect from the screen printing.
Pollock. His crazy abstract and expressive style is commendable, it proves how artists were way ahead of their time. The merging of colours is amazing, so encapturing.
A classic Picasso piece which is incredible to have in your presence.
I would definitely advise you visit the Museum of Modern Art, it’s not too expensive and there is so much gallery space and floors to explore, you’ll be entertained for hours. Not just for art lovers.

Bringing goodness to NYC
Holton Farms is part of the current urbanomics trend and delivers high quality produce to New Yorkers from a farm truck on the road. How very refreshing to see an organic take on street selling, rather than the hot dog and pretzel stands unhealithly positioned on every single avenue.
They offer organic and conventional vegetables, herbs and fruits, grass fed beef cows, pigs, lambs, chickens, turkeys, eggs, maple syrup and honey. All of which is available to the less fortunate as part of their involvement in helping low income neighbourhoods. What’s more is that any un-used food is passed on to NYC shelters and soup kitchens.
I find their sustainable methods very compendable indeed. I only wish I could have seen one of these trucks while I was in New York because I would have definitely supported this ever so compassionate cause. Apparently their employees dance to happy reggae beats around the truck.
When I next venture to NYC, I will without a doubt dig deeper into the many diverse cultures.
Check out their website and have a look at some of their press bits http://www.holtonfarms.com/ very interesting and insightful!

Skyline Sofa
Learning all about Post-modernism I spotted this 60s’ piece, ‘Tramonto a New York’ by Gaetano Pesce. I think its brilliant! An innovation in Design!
Who would believe that night time and sunset in New York could be so comfortable?

New York Impressions
WATCH THIS! http://vimeo.com/18589404
Yet another encapturing video of New York. Its such a beautiful city and I feel honoured that I have been there.
It truly gives you an idea of night time in New York. Feel the music and enjoy the artistic cinematography. I love the close ups and panning motions, transporting you through time.

The beat of New York
Check this amazing video out by Thomas Noesner. He took his camera through the hustle and bustle of the New York City streets and recorded the most authentic shots of real New Yorkers. He has created a remix over the video which compliments the up beat vibe perfectly. It seems to be inspired by the guy in the Subway smashing the drums. I also got the pleasure of seeing this underground drummer in the Subway, which was so uplifting in such a busy and serious environment. I will later post the screening of one of my favourite moments in the big city.

NYC is the centre of the cultural world. It has incredible museums, a range of music scenes and you can taste cuisines from all over the globe. Little Italy and Chinatown sound fantastic! I’m digging trying some New York style noodles.
