A Brooklyn Rose

Roses are blooming at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens 

My favorite New York Garden

My favorite place in all of New York is the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park. It's on 5th ave and a 104th st right across from El Museo del Barrio.  You walk into the garden and you feel transformed.  I am always in awe of the Italian gardens and the beauty of the fountain.  Then I take a left towards the English garden, which is filled with color flowers and a soothing water feature.  When I sit in this garden I can forget that I am in NYC.  Then I check out the beauty of he French garden with it's abundance of tulips.  This past trip up to the garden reminded me how much I miss spending time up there in the park.  Though I do not miss working at Mt Sinai.

The MET Rooftop with Doug + Mike Starn on the Roof: Big Bambú

I decided to spend my Friday afternoon on roof of the Met.  It was such a nice day to be outside and take in the new exhibit.  I'm going to let the pics speak for themselves.

May Day: Shepard Fairey Opening

Yesterday was May Day, which is not only the first day of May, but is also the opening of the new Shepard Fairey exhibit at Dietch Projects in Soho. The celebrated street artist has been doing some great work around the city to hype up the exhibit.  I've posted some pics of the one's I've seen around town.  There are two more in Brooklyn.  I got to the gallery at 5 pm for the 6 pm opening, but didn't make my way until 6:30 pm.  As you entered the exhibit I was handed a signed poster of Jasper Johns inspired art work.  It was jam packed with people but the frenetic energy just ignited the gallery and made you know that this exhibit was special.  For me the exhibit felt like a call to arms, by touching on political, environmental, economic, and cultural issues.  He makes nods to Jasper Johns and Hopper and other artists. It's a total must see.  Just to bad the electric mob scene of opening night won't be there.
