It’s the child of the Russ & Daughters deli NYC institution 

The beauty of the light on the water, with a full view of the changing skyline, always awe inspiring.

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

This little French-Morroccan restaurant is a perfect place for meeting artist friends and, of course, great escargot.

It’s photographer Jay Maisel’s studio building on the Bowery. The fact that he hasn’t sold out to the manic gentrification of everything in New York is even cooler. Makes me happy that the whole place is covered in piss stains and graffiti when everything around it is all polished and shiny and expensive. It’s like a giant middle finger raised to those disgusting, bloodthirsty, city-raping real-estate developers. Awesome.
