A little bit witchy

New York / Restaurant

The oldest still-operating restaurant in New York City, still in the family of the original founders. At Christmastime, it's decorated to the nines. Go with a big group: portions are large and the wine flows liberally. Look for the little buttons on the walls: in the old days, the mafia would hang out in the back room, and if diners saw the cops come in, they'd press the buttons so the mafia guys could run out the back.

New York / Studio Spaces

XXXI (‘Thirty-One’) is ❶ a mixed-use community space for designers (and others) to exhibit, teach, and discuss self-initiated work; ❷ a shared studio space; ❸ a residency for designers; and ❹ an online (and sometimes physical) store. It purposefully lives outside (or against) the constraints of the city it exists in and traditional commercial practice to ask what design can do when its goal is not money.

New York / Artist

Scott Albrecht is an artist and designer currently based in Brooklyn, NY. His work is a graphic representation of his experiences, often a result of abstracting typography and exploring an idea through a more visual or physical language. Through various approaches, the shapes and relationships within his work are informed by letters and characters from an underlying message inspired by daily events and reinterpreted into his own unique styles.
