“Work 925″ at Les Enfants Terribles

“Work 925″ sticker in the basement restroom at the Les Enfants Terribles, a French-Brazilian bistro in the Lower East Side of New York City. The graphic design of the sticker is a direct reference to the package design and logo of Hershey’s York Peppermint Pattie confection in the United States.

Hanksy Dog

Filed under: New York — Tags: , , , , , , — vc @ 2:41 pm

Hanksy strikes again with this images of a Tom Hanks-faced dog peeing in one of his usual spots in downtown Manhattan, on a wall along the stretch of Mulberry Street just north of the Kenmare Street – see the map below for exact location.

The contextual shots are a bit blurry and lossy, as they were taken quickly in low-light on an iPhone. But you get the idea.

Postcard at Cafe Select

Filed under: Design — Tags: , , , , , , — vc @ 1:56 am January 20, 2012

One of our regular go-to spots for a coffee and a meet-up with friends is Cafe Select, a Swiss place on Lafayette Street on the border of New York’s SoHo and Nolita / Lower East Side neighborhoods. Select is one of those places where the waitstaff always bring the check with a cool, arty photo postcard. Here the postcards are photographic documents of Alpine pastoral scenery. We love them.20120120-005539.jpg

Full of awesome.
