no secret we love miranda july. we already professed ourselves in our profile about us in march’s bust magazine. but she has the best website in the world try it at mirandajuly.com
if you’re looking for a subway book: try no one belongs here more than you. you can get it at the strand or st. marks bookstore.
we were browsing the ny times and found this handy interactive map to the best coffee spots in nyc. surprisingly we haven’t been to most of these! hmm.. so i guess that means we have a new list of places that we MUST try. wonder if any of these serve waffles..
they didn’t have a bunch of our favorites, so in no particular order if you’re looking for a good cup in nyc/brooklyn…
cafe cortadito- it’s a restaurant, but has one of the best cafe con leches in the city. shhh don’t tell anyone
gorilla- it was included, but didn’t get a star. must have been a mistake
open pantry- pumpkin spice. yes we named an a/w 10 color after their coffee
wafels & dinges- this is a waffle truck, we thought it’d be important to include this too
if you have a favorite coffee spot let us know, you can never have enough
we also thought it’d be a good time to include these pics from a trip in november to berlin and stockholm last year. an international coffee tour. first four are berlin (one is ost cafe), last one is stockholm.. mm coffee memories
we saw alice in wonderland in 3-D last night and it did not disappoint (visually that is). but let’s be real, nothing really disappoints in 3-D, plus we’ve obviously been pretty obsessed with 3-d stuff anyways ever since seeing black meteoric star at moma’s pop rally back in may. (the 3-d glasses from our a/w 10 collection are from that night.. recycled props!)
so our ode to 3-d, alice in wonderland (via kimberley chan), sensory overloads
so we got an email about being published in hearty magazine about our fall 10 collection w/annie hart of au revoir simone. we checked out the site and pretty f’ing awesome. also how cute are the girls that run this place? i am assuming these are canadian ladies, but if they ever move to nyc we’re always looking for models…
The weekend was jam packed with delicious food, including dinner at Rice, a neatly tucked away “world cuisine fusion?” restaurant on Elizabeth St., and brunch at Cafe Habana, yummm.
Also picked up a few gems (and more yummy food – chocolate sandwich from the Milk Truck?! and lobster rolls??) at the Brooklyn Flea. Love this vendor, especially. Want EVERYTHING!
