My good friend Nigel Sylvester is dropping an exclusive new Mavrk-Mid next Monday with Dan’s Comp. This sneaker is hooked up from top to bottom with black on black detailing, stingray leather swooshes in alternating gold and black…add in a little ostrich leather AND some pure croc, damn! Going to have to send him the Croc New Era fitted to match!!!
Where to eat: I was introduced to Ilili a few weeks ago for one of my best friend Carrie’s birthday dinner…I’d never eaten Lebanese food before, so I have to admit I was a bit nervous. I loved the ambience, tres chic… the menu was a bit intimidating, so we left the ordering to our expert in Mediterranean cuisine (Nat)… the food was incredible!
Recommendations: Labne, Tabbouleh and Hommus to start, Beef Fried Kibbeh and any of the Kabobs next…you won’t be disappointed, yum!!
Under the mastery of design greats Phillip Lim and Rachel Roy, Grace Sun produced her first collection in teh Spring of 2007… Sun’s collections melds the designer’s two loves of fashion and graphic design, creating a harmonious balance of form and function. She plays on the dichotomies of the uptown chic vs. downtown cool, ornate elaboration vs. clean minimalism and the precious vs. hard edge. Sun’s design aesthetic is epitomized by feminine silhouettes paired with a masculine structuring. Greenwich, Connecticut meets the Greenwich Village, Grace Sun designs for the social elite and ladies who lunch on Manhattan’s Lower East Side!!

I always feel a stomach ache waiting to happen when I step foot into Dylan’s…but there’s not many places where I can still feel like a kid again! Many of the candies you’ll find are well-known and very loved such as Pez, Charleston Chew, Alexander the Grape, and Pixi Sticks…but they literally have everything from novelty and nostalgic candy to sours, gummies and chocolate!
