"Boutiquer Frequer" -Pieces (of Brooklyn)

It's been a min. since I trekked around to my old stomping grounds of Prospect Heights (that's what the real estate agents are calling it now) where I grown up in Brooklyn. However when I do, I make it my biz to stop through to Pieces of Brooklyn boutique on Vanderbilt. What once was an all womens store (with SOME men's items) has expanded to cover both sexes adequately. But trust me, you'll sware when Beyonce' sung about "Upgrade You" she had this store in mind (lol)! Quite a few items in stock will definitely make that "shiny penny" by your side into a freshly minted "dime!" And if she's a "dime" already then here comes quarter status man! Word of advice; take the "African-American Express" (Am-Ex black) card with cha when you shop. Also make sure you'll have some where to go, like say a "Sew Far, Soul Good!" cocktail event (Nov. 8th TODAY!) type of thing. Lol!

"Y-Not?" -NEW Y-3 Store Opens, the Fly Spy


































Finally the much delayed Adidas Y-3 brand store has opened up it's much bigger retail space this month. Located on Greene St. (across from the Bape store) in SoHo, it's (Y-) 3 times the size of their first location on W.13th & 8th, boasting a lower level all men's section. The product is hung in colored order to make what you're searching for a bit easier, and the interior look and vibe is that of a hip art gallery that doesn't mind you coming in, but don't stay to long if your not buying a painting. Peep the three black stripe track lighting, which is the subliminal Adidas logo, in the center of the store. Dope! Ash pulled out the "Asian"-American Express Card and spent about 2k+ flat for my gift! You gotta love B'day's man! Hey and Y-not, you only live once right? Ask for Spenser when you get over there he'll give you the (Y-) 3% discount at the check out counter. See ya'll Friday @ Tamboril rocking my new gift.

"Start Forkin' Around" -Restaurant Week NYC

Here's how it works. Some of your favorite restaurants, and some that you've been dying to try out, offer a
3 course pre-fixed meal.
Lunch
or dinner,
for the unbeatable price of $24.07 & $35.00 respectively.
It goes on for 2 weeks,
Jan. 21-25th
then the
28th
to Feb. 1st.
The ONLY catch is that your beverages, tips and tax are NOT "fixed" into those prices. However there is an upside. If you pay using an Am-Ex card, the company will donate $.50 per transaction to City Harvest. Cool?
