A Rare Summer Weekend in the City

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.

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!

Caveman at Riis Park

 


The beach @ Jacob Riis Park
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 :-)
