Every first Saturday of the month, Target sponsors a free evening of art and culture at the Brooklyn Museum. From 5pm-11pm, admission is free and patrons can enjoy the institution's sights and sounds while sipping a for purchase beer or Chardonnay. This past Saturday was a collaboration with Tom Tom Magazine, the only magazine in the world dedicated entirely to female drummers, called "The Oral History of Female Drummers". It was a fitting event, given that March is Women's History Month.
最初の土曜日、毎月のブルックリン美術館は、ただです。ターゲットは、この日のイベントを後援しています。昨日はとのコラボレーション Tom Tom Magazine、女性ドラマーに捧げ、世界で唯一の雑誌でした。三月は、女性史月間です。
Other limited time exhibitions included Coney Island, on view until March 13th, and This Place, a collection of photos from the West Bank, which goes through June 5th. また、コニーアイランドから芸術が利用可能コニーアイランド（仕上げ3月13) とイスラエルとパレスチナの写真(仕上げ6月5.)
SEAM NY is bi! (lingual and sort of.) From here on out, each post will include a Japanese-ish translation. I say Japanese-ish because I haven't quite yet gotten a handle on writing or speaking Japanese. And that's putting it kindly. Despite this triviality, I would like to share with my brothers and sisters on the other side of the world things which they are missing and/or need to see in New York City and the rest of the United States of America. I hope you enjoy, and my sincere apologize in advance for the butchering of your beautiful language as well as any occidental insults which may arise in the process.
シームNYは今バイリンガルです！すべての将来の投稿は英語と日本語になります。一つの問題があります。私は日本語を話すことを学ぶ始めました。したがって、私の文章が悪いことになります。しかし、私は私の日本人の友人とニューヨークと私の冒険の私のネイティブ市を共有したいと思います。楽しみ、私はあなたが私の悪い日本語のスキルを許すことを願ってください。
Yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII, and to commemorate the long awaited declaration of peace, the Times Square Alliance held a "Kiss-In". Inspired by the iconic kiss shared between a sailor and a nurse, the event called for couples to gather in Times Square to share their own stories and reenact the famous smooch. The message: love prevails over all!
Thanks to all of the brave veterans who made this possible!
Seasonal ingredients? In Japan, that's old news, a way of life rather than a fad. In addition to including foods based on their abundance during certain months, traditional Japanese cuisine also takes into account what vitamins and minerals they have that will help the body adjust to the sweltering heat. Considering that humidity is even higher in most parts of Japan than in New York City, such attention to diet is important in maintaining stamina. For those of you who engage in summer sports such as surfing and/or who work in the fashion industry and need to keep your strength for the upcoming trade shows in Vegas, this is what you should be eating. Yakisoba (especially on the beach!)
Yakisoba is Japan's answer to a boardwalk hot dog and fries. The noodles are way lighter than starchy potatoes, yet they are lightly pan fried to satisfy your oil craving. Plus the soba noodles themselves are low in calories and packed with vitamins. The nori (seaweed) flakes complement the aroma of sea salt wafting in from the ocean. Throw a sunnyside up egg (medamiyaki)on top for some protein!
More noodles, you ask? Don't get it twisted, these are totally different from the afore mentioned buckwheat (soba) noodles. The noodles used for Hiyashi Chuka are a type of ramen noodle, but it this case they are served cold on top of salad rather than in hot soup. The cucumbers that garnish this dish have a hydrating, cooling effect. Shrimp is optional but not typical! Unagi(Eel)
The key players here are vitamins B1 & B2, which fight fatigue and can keep you from fainting. Other vitamins include Vitamin E, which enhances sexual performance and fights aging, as well as A, D, B6, & B12 .
Hiyayakko
You may have gathered by now that "hiya"= cold. This tofu appetizer is enjoyed for its ease of preparation as well as its light taste. Just cut a piece of prepackaged tofu, sprinkle on some soy sauce and bonito flakes, and add a dab of wasabi. Pair with a glass of cold shochu or a nice frosty beer.
Yes, it's a desert. But before you shun this frozen treat as detrimental to your beach body diet, keep in mind that it's 99% ice. And the red beans on top are far more natural and less fattening than the artificially syruped red cherries that top the American ice cream sundae. The rest of the calories come from just a dash of condensed milk and- hello- MATCHA!
Although the mass exodus from Manhattan by way of Broome street might suggest otherwise, there is a case to be made for staying in the city from summer Friday through Monday morning. Just ask our textile team members who were in town this past weekend!
Our weekend opener was MOMA's free Friday, which we were amused to discover was sponsored by Japan's own Uniqlo.

Saturday's first stop was Grand Central, where we caught the 6 up to The Mansion.
Inside Ralph Lauren's Mansion on 72nd Street
We continued our shopping tour downtown, with stops at Supreme, BLK DNM, and our favorite made-in-NYC designer's shop, By Robert James.
We kept the party going in the LES at Arlene's, where we caught Battery Electric and kick-ass rockabilly band the Bothers!
There's nothing quite like summer in New York City: outdoor concerts, festivals, and surprisingly decent beaches. Yesterday, Brooklyn based Caveman band was awesome enough to do a free show at Jacob Riis Park -and we were lucky enough to catch it! For those of you not familiar with Riis Park, it's located in the southern part of the Rockaways. A bit of a troop from Manhattan, but totally worth it!
Be on the lookout for their new album dropping in August! Happy Summer :-)
