Street art

Chelsea, West Side. Went searching for the Jonathan Levine gallery for the Wooster 10 year collection. Found a building nearby with actual street art. Also, the High Line is worth visiting on this side of the city.

Wildstyle 30th Anniversary

East River Park. Hip hop and movie fans worldwide know about Wildstyle, a seminal documentary that captured the graffiti scene in the early 80s. Martha Cooper, a street photographer, appears on the right and has been a major influence on my photography and it was a great pleasure to meet her in person.

Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn's food scene is on point. Smorgasburg is held on Saturday and Sundays and if you wait long enough, then you get a ramen burger. I couldn't justify waiting 2 hours or more, and decided to sample the other tasty offerings.

Williamsburg Van

I've been to NYC a couple of times and always stayed in the city, however the hostel that was located near Columbus Circle closed down. On this trip, I tried out AirBnB and it worked out wonderfully.

Jada Pinkett Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith performs at Afropunk festival.

Death at Afropunk

Do yourself a favor and track down a documentary called "A Band Called Death."

Unlocking the Truth

These kids are metal!

Mission Chinese Food

The West Coast in the East Coast - yummy.

The Stand

Apparently, The Stand is one of the city's newer comedy nightclubs and draws in top comics. It's a good space and I like how they make you pay after the show is done.

Whiplash at UCB

There was the whole debate about free and paying shows and now that I have a taste of it, let me say I still enjoy good comedy.

Obey in DUMBO

Metropolitan Museum of Art

The MET is a must see and should be done more than once.

Brooklyn Rooftop

Last day in NYC..rooftop in NYC..one of my favorite things to do.
