LOVE LA

When we were walking around Brooklyn Heights, I found Love Lane off of Henry Street. (Usually, Lane is “Ln”, but here, it’s “LA”…) and I had to stop and take pictures. How sweet would that be to live on the Love Lane? :)

Sending you my love from Brooklyn NY… Especially, to my best friend Naoko and her husband Shiko — they just had a baby!!! Congratulations!!! MUCH LOVE <3<3<3

p.s I also found “Pineapple Street” — how cute!

Heart Street

We have been couch hunting for a while… still no luck, though, I found the cutest street in SoHo yesterday after stopping by Room and Board… a Heart Street! (on Broadway and Prince to be exact — I think it’s for Victoria’s Secret, but didn’t say…)

You might know already that I am obsessed with heart-shape… so this street stopped me immediately! <3

It was then navigating you to the subway entrance…

I hope this makes you smile for the rainy grey day (at least in NY)… :)

Off to letterpress studio today… see you all tomorrow!

Water Taxi Ride

Last Friday, we took a water taxi to Randall’s Island Park. I always LOVE the ride as NYC has lots of cool bridges and buildings, it is absolutely amazing and amusing.

I thought I should take you to the virtual water taxi ride today…. enjoy!

We are leaving from Pier 16 at South St. Seaport.

This is the water taxi.

We are off to the ride! Going under the Brooklyn Bridge…

Brooklyn Bridge is definitely one of my favorite bridges in the world. It is so special…

Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge… I would never be bored with the view.

and look, it is our new building in DUMBO (see the red circle)! The big move is this Friday… Can’t wait!

We passed Manhattan Bridge now (you see 2 bridges?) and going towards mid-town…

Williamsburg Bridge.

Found type: Domino Sugar

The Williamsburg Bridge from the other side.

and the stunning Chrysler Building.

Found type: Long Island

Pepsi:Cola signage!

Queensboro Bridge. Love the colors of the bridge, really pretty.

((I had to go inside of the water taxi here, it was getting a bit cold))

and… before you know it, we are here at the Randall’s Island Park… and you know what you see? Yes, Cirque du Soleil tent! We are here to see OVO :)

((OVO was so great! Enjoyed every minuite of it!!))

OK, that’s it. How was your ride? Good, I hope! :) If you have a chance, I highly recommend doing some kind of water taxi/boats in NYC, it really is great. (oh, in a good weather, of course)

I LEGO N.Y.

I’m sure you’ve seen this around… I LEGO N.Y. by Christoph Niemann. When I fist saw it on NY Times blog (via swissmiss), I thought it was so simple, fun and creative! So when the book came out, I had to get it — it became one of my favorite café books around :)

If you are in NY area, the PowerHouse Arena (I loooooove this book store!!) is having a NYC launch party tomorrow, Saturday, April 17th at 3-4pm. I might just stop by. Sounds fun!

“Attendees are encouraged to bring their own NYC LEGO® formations! The creators of the 3 best NYC themed LEGO® formations will win a FREE copy of the book!” — I wish I had some legos handy… Do you?! What would you make?

Here are a couple shots from my book:

Happy Friday, everyone!
