New York A La Cart

Hm...I guess I should've posted these photos sooner but oh well! Here you go. Back in 2012, Clay Williams and I ran around the city with Siobhan and Alex, snapping photos for their book New York a la Cart. It's a book about street food, street food culture, street food history, and the people behind the carts/trucks. That was a fun couple months. I have posted some of my favorite shots, check them out after the jump.

Photos of food trucks/carts include... - Torta Neza (He doesn't have the truck anymore but you can find him and his amazing tortas at Juan Bar in Jackson Heights) - The Arepa Lady - Eggs Travaganza - Wooly's - Policano's Italian Sausage - El Olomega - Luke's Lobster - Van Leeuwen

Wednesdays Are For Beers And Reading

Skylark in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Last night I found myself sitting at the bar at Skylark, drinking a beer and reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Something I should be doing a lot more. The bar was empty except for the owner and her friends and a couple sitting at a table near the door. The speakers were playing some upbeaty music but definitely fine for reading my digital book at the corner of the bar.

I had a dream. I had a dream that one day I'll open a bar, a quiet bar where people can have normal conversations (or even read) without having to yell.
