LELA ROSE shoots her 2020 FALL Collection in Greenwich Village

The shoot was in Greenwich Village where LELA ROSE turned an empty store into a FLOWER SHOP.

 

BIRTHDAY LUNCH at Suprema Provisions

This was my 8th and last BIRTHDAY LUNCH for January.

The burger at SUPREMA ………..[ on Bleecker street in the Village]

was voted the #1 HAMBURGER in New York.

And……it is!

Our waiter was as delightful as the burger!

Iberico belotta jambon jam, black garlic sauce, roasted baby tomatoes, very aged cheddar.  NO SUBSTITUTIONS or OMISSIONS allowed.  If you don’t like it……go somewhere else for a mediocre burger.

One burger was not enough…..I had to order TWO.

There are some unique provisions at a shop in the rear of the restaurant.

McNALLY JACKSON STORE

The store is in Greenwich Village at 50 west 8th street………it is my new “GO TO” store for supplies for my art studio.

There is a large sketch pad on an easel…………so I left a sketch of Simonette Vespucci……..signed…..TLC and DON.

Barry loves his new glasses.

Melinda is a fan of contemporary card design……..so she loved this store.

Who can resist these inks.  Not me.

The sales staff……..POPS!  That is his name!  POPS!  And I love his cartoon.

MORMONS and CHALK in Washington Square Park

MORMAN CHALK MANIA in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village

The “elders were there with a box of chalk and invited us to take some child and DRAW!

I picked out three colors and joined “Elder” Steiner on the pavement for a bit of “chalk fun”.

“Elder” Steiner…………..what a cutie.

The park is a fun place to hang out.
