Existential Angst

Cronuts

I was by the Dominique Ansel Bakery after an early morning meeting and found the line to be fairly short so I gave in and got a cronut (after a mere hour waiting in line).  I have to say that it was worth it.  The texture and taste and both fabulous.  I found that 1/4 to a 1/2 cronut per person is enough as it's pretty rich. 

Drink Like a Meal II

From The Smoke Joint.  A little more substantial and more intimidating then the last Bloody Mary post.

Thanksgiving Dinner Shots

5 Pointz

If you've ever taken the LIE to or from Midtown to either LaGuardia or Kennedy airport then chances are that you've seen 5 Poitz. This cultural institution in Long Island City, a home for graffiti artists, will be torn down this winter by a real estate developer.  I went to capture some images earlier this fall and was so glad that I did as artists recently painted the building white prior to demolition.
