New York City 2013: Banksy sells original art incognito

Image
Are you a fan of Banksy? If so, see amazing documentary Banksy Does New York, directed by Chris Moukarbel, which talks about Banksy's experimental one month residency in New York City, where he sets to surprise public every day with new work around the city unannounced. This fragment talks about one day of the month when he sets up a stall near the Central Park and sells his original work for $60 a piece. In just this one fragment Banksy makes a good point of how art is nothing without attaching a famous name to it. Genius point. Watch what happens...you'll be blown away.

Miami Beach Vibe: Beach Cruising

Image
Beach cruising in style? Leave your heels in the city when you come to Miami Beach and choose to ride your beach bicycle in flip-flops (see below my favorites) and/or keds. At least that's what the locals do. Beach cruisers are these bicycles you usually rent at a hotel on a beach. I always get mine at the Shore Club, where we've been staying for the past 4 years. They can cycle in the sand, but I'd prefer to take it along the boardwalk from Miami Beach all the way to the end of the South Beach and do it so that when I reach the other end of the waterfront, I can enjoy a sunset. The sunsets on that end of the waterfront are amazing, and so is the ride! Ride on and check some of my other bicycling videos here . These are the flip flops I'm loving this season: Slim Paisage Flip-Flop from Victoria Secret Bruce Top 

Miami Beach Vibes: A day in the life of Miami Beach visit

Image
Your fashion style definitely changes when you transport yourself from the urban NYC to the beachy Miami and New Yorkers love it. It's a perfect getaway for the New Yorkers, just a 2.5-hour flight away! And we love it when we can finally get rid of the jeans, sweaters and boots and change into our beach gear that we carefully plan for a year in advance. Kicking off summer with the Memorial Day weekend getaway to Miami Beach is a thing to do for the New Yorkers...and would you blame them?

Attention, New York ladies...

Image
NYC hasn't been known to be very family friendly EVER. It's the city for young, ambitious, single people from around the world to come to pursue a career and enjoy the many entertainment perks of the city. However, in the last few years, the city has been warming up to the idea that not everyone wants to move to New Jersey or Connecticut to have a family. So, the city has been trying to accommodate those New Yorkers who do NOT want to leave Manhattan, who still want to enjoy the city but be able to have a family too. One of such neighborhoods is - the Battery Park City where we now reside. One morning I decided to check it out from a perspective of a feature parent-to-be...

The Mud Love

If you a true coffee afficionado AND you live in NYC, most likely you know about this Mudruck! Personally, I'm a huge coffee person and I've been hooked on this mudtruck coffee since 2002. It's just the best coffee on a go!

From Hollywood with love: It's Judd Apatow!

Image
Stay tuned to HBO! Judd Apatow is in town and he’s shooting new comedy series “Crashing” for HBO in NYC (which he’s not only producing, but directing (unlike the Girls that he only produced) starring comedian Pete Holmes! The other day I not only witnessed them shoot in Soho, but also saw Judd Apatow in person, whose films I love, love, love...

A Blowdry Lesson

Image
I love, love, love my hair salon in NYC. It's not a big name spa or anything. It's a small salon - Hayden Kings - hidden on the first floor of a Flatiron district on the 17th Street between the Fifth Avenue and Avenue of America's, but getting a haircut from the owner of the salon who does haircuts/hairstyles himself - does not often happens in NYC. Here Hayden is giving me a lesson on a blow-dry. Another great thing I love about them is that they never ever push any products on you even though they do represent one of he best brands on the market right now - Living Proof .

America's Cup 2016, Day 2: The Winner Takes It All

Image
Day Two of the America's Cup 2016 was all that expected and more. Canceling the race yesterday, May 7, due to the lack of proper wind - (see the video from Day 1  here ), put the race at double stake for the next day. As a result, today, May 8th, 2016 - there were three races between the six teams that took part in the America's Cup 2016 in New York City: Oracle Team USA, Soft Bank Team Japan, Groupama Team France, Emirates Team New Zealand,  Land Rover Bar (UK) and  Team Artemis (Sweden). Today the wind (and the sun) was just about right. Watch the video to find out the winner of the America's Cup! See you in Bahamas next year?!

America's Cup 2016: The Rise

Image
This year The America's Cup 2016 is taking place in New York City on Hudson and the American fans of this infamous sailing race couldn't be happier to see it in their home town this weekend. However, after days of preparations and excitement built up leading up to the race, the first day hasn't gone as planned. After two hours six teams cruised around the river, the race has been cancelled due to the lack of proper wind conditions.

Ready for the American Cup 2016?

Image
The American Cup 2016 preparations are taking over the downtown of Manhattan right now! This weekend, the famous sailing race is coming to Hudson River and will take in Battery Park City May 7-8th. Don’t miss it. I was there yesterday to witness all the preparations and the excitement was already in the air! People were stopping by to take pictures and videos. You’ll see one french group that got especially excited about seeing one particular yacht on a billboard picture and wanted to take picture of it (I’m assuming it was a yacht of some French sailing team...)  Anyway, mark your calendars and I’ll see you there!

Ever wondered what water sports one can do in the middle of Manhattan? Guess no more, New Yorkers are taking advantage of Hudson River and now you can see them do paddling, jet skiing, kayaking and yachting!

Tribeca Film Festival: They've Got Robots!

Image
I bet you didn't know that TriBeCa Film Festival is not only about the traditional filmmaking. Yep, neither did I until I went to the TFI interactive event - an all day one day event during the first week of the festival that showcase the latest technologies in the filmmaking like virtual reality, holograms, 3D and etc. This year they brought robots and more virtual reality! Even Katie Holmes stopped by to check it out.
