Time Square @ night

Today I made a lot of miles by foot and that's exactly what I feel right now - my feet hurts and are full of blisters, but what the hack. It was a great day, beautiful weather and great food.  Breakfast at Square Diner homemade eggs benedict, yammie. And what about lunch at The Burger Joint, a "restaurant" tucked away in the Parker Meridian Hotel, the best hamburger in town!! Last but not least P.J. Clarke's here I enjoyed a great steak with sweat potato fries. Not only the restaurants, but also the stores I saw were great today. Too much to tell, one in particular was the Jack Spade in Greene Street, they had their collaboration with Barbour on display. Great jackets and beautiful bags in the waxed cloth we are used to from Barbour. Another store I liked was the Onassis Store also on Greene Street, great display and nice people in the store. Overwhelming was the entrance @ Nike Town all those football players and a mega USA flag made of baseball balls.

ONASSIS CLOTHING, NEW YORK

While the name Onassis brings to mind the rarefied world of scandalous shipping tycoons, a new men’s-wear line and store of the same name is out to change all that.

 

Located on Greene Street in SoHo, Onassis is a one-stop shop where any Tom, Dick or Ari can find anything from boxer briefs to sturdy outerwear. Eric Mancuso, the head of sales and marketing for the company, was anxiously putting finishing touches to the shop when The Moment stopped by last week. “We’re going for an old-New York feel,” Mancuso said, surrounded by a sea of handsome slim-line trousers, button-down shirts, coats and knitwear showcased alongside wooden crates, vintage mannequins and iron racks. “It’s back to the good old days, when things were simple and life was easy.” (see full text New York Times Magazine) This while be another stop on my shopping linst for next week.
