Cocoa Nibs

Filed under: City Life — Tags: , , , , , , — vc @ 1:29 pm October 1, 2011

Visual design of food: The cocoa nibs stuck to the side of this dark chocolate bar from the Francois Payard Bakery, a patisserie in New York City’s SoHo, add a layer of texture that makes this confection all the more visually appealing and appetizing.

Doing Lines at Pan American

Filed under: City Life — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — vc @ 7:56 pm September 30, 2011

Skippy L., a good Friend of Global Graphica, demonstrates the proper way of doing lines on a mirror … lines of brown sugar and chocolate, that is, with orange wedges and mini-carafes of high-end sipping rum courtesy of the owners of Pan American, a Latin bistro in Nolita, in downtown New York City. We love the way the colors and light reflect off the mirror. It’s super-sexy, all allusions to coke-culture aside.

The Red and the Yellow

Filed under: City Life — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Supercore @ 12:50 pm April 29, 2011

Caught this bright yellow NYC taxi driving by this bright red graffiti’d truck next to the Apple Store in the Meatpacking District of New York City and the juxtaposition of colors and the street aesthetic struck us as kind of cool.

We stumbled upon this large, white plush bear on Crosby Street in SoHo, near where the French-West African restaurant L’Orange Bleu and Bloomingdales are. How can this not bring a smile to your face?

Daniel and His Awesome New Tattoo

Filed under: City Life — Tags: , , , , , , — Supercore @ 12:44 pm April 16, 2010

This tattoo is fuckin’ awesome! A cute, cartoon bear wearing an eye patch and a crown. That’s genius, kidzzz! And funny! Love it!

The tat belongs to the awesomely talented New York photographer Daniel Puissant, who was showing it off to us on a recent evening at Petite Abeille, a Belgian bistro in Tribeca. (Daniel is Belgian, hailing originally from Brussels.)

You may have seen Daniel’s work. He goes by the nom de guerreMajor Deegan” on his Flickr site, and the dude was recently profiled on WNYC New York for its Street Shots series.

Stage on Wheels

Filed under: City Life,Lower East Side — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Supercore @ 8:54 pm November 10, 2009

From our City Life file: We stumbled upon this portable stage — a kind of bandshell on wheels — parked at Grand and Orchard streets on the Lower East Side.  An indie band was playing the stage at the time — we wish we could remember their name. The stage and concert were part of the Apples on Orchard street festival, an annual event to mark the start of autumn in New York City.

We love this!
