After Formula DRIFT Round 3 at Wall, New Jersey I headed into the city with a few friends and as always Jose was our official tour guide. He really does have a camera on him at ALL times. And I was able to borrow one to capture some of the trip. Much of the trip had us roaming the city and checking out stores, places to eat, and all that fun stuff.

The eye of NY…JMartinez

One of my favorite things to do is check out all the furniture stores in SoHo from DWR to Bo Concept and Knoll. My goal is to eventually purchase a Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman (that’s when I know that I’ve made it) but for now this picture will do.

We also were able to test ride the new A2B electric bike at the Vespa shop. This thing was pretty cool to ride around, but for the $2500 price tag it’s a bit much. Although the 20 mph and 20 miles of travel with one charge sounds very tempting especially for the city and with the convenience of easy storage…maybe Jose will be trading in his fixed gear.

The rest of the trip was great for the 2 days that I was there. Witnessed the Lakers beat the Magic in game 4 at ESPN Zone. Had a great dinner at Room Service (if you like Thai check it out.) And even saw a couple random celebs after the Tony Awards…but missing in action was N.P.H.

New York is always a good and there’s never enough time to check everything out. I could see myself living there for maybe 2-3 months out of the year…
