Chinatown in general, I've lived in chinatown on and off for my entire time in New York and i never tire of it’s textures, smells, artificial lighting and grime. There's some amazing things to happen upon there as you trek about your way, a true city experience. Love this little culture shop Aeon, gems of records, art and ephemera tucked away like most good things are.

Leaf through over 30,000 artists' sketchbooks in what may be the world's largest collection.

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

This simple Manhattan salt house is shaped like a monumental grain of salt. The Shed is an effort by the city to make even their most utilitarian architecture into unique pieces of art.

Words cannot describe how much I love biking in the city.
