Manhattan: A Poster And Also Where I’m Headed
I’m not normally into prints but the Manhattan Poster by Jim Datz from Three Potato Four is hard for me to resist. I think I’m really drawn to it because being a vagabond, New York is the closest thing to a “home” that I have. It’s the city I lived in the longest, the one I know best and where I feel the most comfortable.
I’m a Manhattanite but for all you Brooklynites (yeah, you’re cooler), there’s one for you too:
Speaking of New York, I’m on my way there now for my usual fix of friends, food, fashion and frolicking. So I’ll be blogging from there tomorrow and Monday. Whoo hoo!
Also, my blogging pal Charlie of Charlie’s Design Diary is having a fabulous giveaway – $150 to spend at the super, fantastic All Modern – through Monday so be sure to go over and enter. (It’s open to US and Canadian residents only.)

I love it. Very 1950s. And that beautiful delft blue background. Lucky you – a weekend in Manhattan.

Have a great time, lucky you!
That print is great, it looks retro.
Looks like an old children toy.. My daughter and her boyfriend stayed in Brooklyn for 3 months last summer.. a lot of pictures I saw were really beautiful and pure, I love to see those buildings. My daughter though really missed missed the little center town of Amsterdam where we live after 2 months …. you know the charme of places like Paris and Amsterdam with their old buildings and canals
Have a nice time in NYC

Very retro. I really like these, too. My mom is from Brooklyn, a zillion years ago, but this would be a great gift. Have a ball.

Have an amazing time in New York. Alek you intrigue me and I must ask that when you return we start to share information. Your New York connection is news to me. I am now left wondering if we have ever met..hmmm. Thank you so much for mentioning the giveaway! I hope all your American and Canadian readers will stop by and join in the fun.

Nuts for the poster. Reminiscent of the illustrations by M. Sasek, giving his work that retro appeal. Have a fabulous time in NY. Sounds like fun & frolic ahead.
Safe travels Alek,
