The Imperial Mondrian

BySusan Chan

Sunday tea at the Mondrian. Or their restaurent, Imperial No. Nine to be exact. Almost as nice as a drive to the country. Almost.

A New Generation of Footwear

BySusan Chan

Gone are the days of sneakers dangling over telephone wires in the street. Although I relish the nostalgia, I have to get with the times. Thanks to Oat Shoes, a cool company from Amsterdam, your sneakers can now easily become part of our beautiful eco-system instead of piling up in your closet. Oh come on,…

Great sign and an exterior you can’t miss Sleek interior at Vandaag photos: vandaagnyc.com Needing to warm up with a cup o’ joe, we popped into a new venue (for us) in the East Village. The place was called Vandaag.
