The only graphic design bookstore in New York City. Shameless plug—it's also my company! Our design office, Order, is operated in the back, in full view of all visitors. Come say hi!

For art books, monographs and catalogs new and used at a discount. I can never manage to leave here without a bag full of books in tow.

Before you head to The Office NYC, stop at MAD - it is a beautiful museum with ever-changing exhibitions.

Fun selection of mid century and post modern furniture and design objects.

This is the view from the Manhattan Bridge of the Fulton Ferry Park, a pretty popular destination being between the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridges, which still has the old waterfront tobacco warehouses. It’s changed a bit being made more of a “finished” park with a kind of beach etc, and has also been a regular spot for outdoor music shows, one for me being the memorable 7-7-7 Boadrum orchestrated by the Boredoms.
