NYC Field Trip

We're back from an NYC field trip - part business exploration, part art inspiration.

The main purpose of the trip was to check out NY Now the big (oh my...is it big) wholesale trade show held twice a year at the Javits Center. I was able to attend as a potential future "non exhibiting manufacturer".

Secondarily but no less important was the time we spent at The Met, The Whitney and the Museum of Art and Design. For me going to art museums is one of the most renewing things to do - I leave, brain awash with ideas, visuals and wisdom but somehow also relaxed.

Frank Stella


Jasper Johns

Thirdly, a goal of every city trip...to enjoy non-American food. (And given the current political situation, eating food skillfully prepared by immigrants to the US almost feels like taking a stand.) We had fantastic Korean, Greek and Cuban food and superb service. Surely NYC would grind to halt if it ever stops welcoming immigrants.
