At some point this weekend, I played tour guide to my friend G from Seattle. She asked me to show her New York. I was just completely baffled. I don’t think I really do anything out of the ordinary. So we mosey on over to Papabubble in Nolita. It’s this really caramel candy shop. You can watch them roll, mold, and stretch caramel. It’s pretty wicked cool. And absolutely delicious. I have no idea how many samples I devoured. I literally was a kid in a candy shop.
While in the Lower East Side, I spotted this guy who was very conspicuous. I mean seriously, a sun hat, sunglasses and a mustache to boot. He was busy defacing a movie poster. I really wanted to walk up to him and snap his picture. But then I thought, I don’t think I would be able to out run him. So I went across the street to a safe distance before I zoomed in. Snapped my picture and left. I did have a stranded tourist in the middle of the road gawking.
Eventually, I return to LES the next day to see what he doodled. But there was already another poster put over his masterpiece. Oh wells. Turns out the dude was trying to promote a show at the Bowery Ballroom. That was pretty much my serendipitous weekend.
