Brooklyn tattoo shop specializing in American traditional style work. Everyone is super nice and cool.

Getaway not far from the city. Nice beach, surreal pool. Next to Fire Island (which is also super nice).

Secondhand works of fiction, film & philosophy sold in a shop with gatherings & special events.

This quaint shop boasts an artfully arranged and tastefully curated selection of jewelry, pottery, books and art. I have to keep myself from going there too often, because I have trouble leaving without making a purchase.

Of all the many museums in New York, this one is the most striking to me because of the unique experience you have while viewing the art. This Frank Lloyd Wright building integrates art with architecture in a way that makes it unique to this city. No matter where you are standing you get an incredible, extremely thought out detail of his work and the exhibited work.
