More news about Apple coming to Williamsburg: Post now saying it will land on the retail area of the future Edge condo, currently building right next to the almost finished Northside Piers condo. That large group of big developments by the awesome waterfront area. It is reported that Apple is looking at a 3,000-5,000 foot corner space while Barneys will be its neighbor.

Park(ing) Day is a day that people take back some of the parking space on the street and convert it into a well, Park! It’s an interesting concept and event that is popular in Europe and the West Coast and finally it reaches New York this year. (Last year there was one parking slot, this year there’s a dozen across 5 borough) Put the Park back in Parking as people said~ (seriously why parking is call parking? it doesn’t involve a park!)

Time Out has an excellent article about the best ‘hoods with New York soul. What it means is the places with still the neighborhood charm and not dominated by chain brand name generic stores. Places that you feel like it’s New York and a great urban city place by the standard of Jane Jacobs.

It’s break week again, not to mention the weather is perfect with its sunny sky and 60s cool temperature. To take advantage of such a perfect combination, I have been doing some sight-seeing all over the city for the past few days.
