In And About NYC: Men and Winter Class

-
Hunter boots. A driver mens cap. A leather short coat. An over-sized scarf... and - a cigar. Can you be more classy than that?

 
Yes, you can!
As I walked down the 5th Avenue (and Central Park), I've spotted this seriously stylish man, who definitely: A) is a New Yorker B) has a Very Upper East Side style of a classy middle-aged man C) looks very 'old money' D) definitely knows a thing or two about the winter style E) probably appreciates home interiors in plaids F) lives IN the city, NOT in the suburbs (but most likely has a house upstate, in the Hampton G) belongs to Harvard Club of New York City (and this might be the only detail I'm not 100% sure...and don't ask me why I said so...) H) appreciates local cigar clubs (like Macanudo, right here, on the Upper East Side)...

As for me, I just always enjoy seeing a man with a style...

 
 

Here's a good selection of the driver mens caps, if you happen to dig it...

I'm lucky and I know it but it wasn't always the same.

For Germans the  Spargelzeit , or the white asparagus season, is an eagerly anticipated sign of spring. Depending on the weather, the season for asparagus begins some time in April and lasts until St. John the Baptist’s feast day June 24, and during this time the country is gripped by ‘Asparagus Fever’. From seasonal asparagus dishes to the white asparagus queen award - there's quite a bit of the history that goes back as far as the Greek and Romans... "Asparagus Gratine" seasonal dish at the Knochenhauer restaurant in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony: served with the potato pancake, ham and Hollandaise sauce. Having spent quite some time in Germany during the pick of the season, I've learned a lot about the history and tradition of the white asparagus season. Read here to find out why Germans call white asparagus "white gold".
