Craving NYC

 

Cafe Gitane NYC

Cafe Gitane, NYC

 

Going to NYC soon.

Being somewhat of a creature of habit, I will most likely stop for my usual late afternoon lunch at Cafe Gitane and have the Chicken Cous Cous…yum!

Plenty of fun and inspiration to come! Trade shows, friends, food, parties, walking…OH, and a friend gave me tickets to see the Swedish band – The Radio Dept!

car crash, city buildings, noisy helicopters...

 

This afternoon, my friend Gordon walked into the shop with a pile of drawings. After looking through them he asked me to pick one for keeps. This is the one I chose. We hung it up, he signed the back, and we agreed the colors in the drawing were the same as all the merchandise in the shop. What a nice surprise on an otherwise strange Friday. Check it out!  Click on the image to view larger, too. Thanks Gordon, you made my day!
