Time Square @ night

Today I made a lot of miles by foot and that's exactly what I feel right now - my feet hurts and are full of blisters, but what the hack. It was a great day, beautiful weather and great food.  Breakfast at Square Diner homemade eggs benedict, yammie. And what about lunch at The Burger Joint, a "restaurant" tucked away in the Parker Meridian Hotel, the best hamburger in town!! Last but not least P.J. Clarke's here I enjoyed a great steak with sweat potato fries. Not only the restaurants, but also the stores I saw were great today. Too much to tell, one in particular was the Jack Spade in Greene Street, they had their collaboration with Barbour on display. Great jackets and beautiful bags in the waxed cloth we are used to from Barbour. Another store I liked was the Onassis Store also on Greene Street, great display and nice people in the store. Overwhelming was the entrance @ Nike Town all those football players and a mega USA flag made of baseball balls.

"Tourist Traps"

This weekend I visited London, spent most of my time in the upcoming area's like Shoreditch, Brick lane, Sevendials to name a few. Had a great breakfast in the Albion on Boundry Street, a splendid pizza at Pizza East on Portobello Road, it's worth the long walk from Notting Hill Station. Popped my eyes out at The Vintage Showroom and RRL, you can find the originals at The Vintage Showroom and the copy's at RRL. Even the guy I spoke at RRL worked before at The Vintage Showroom. Visited the first Pop-Up Mall in Shoreditch, all the stores and restaurants are located in sea containers, enjoy some frozen yoghurt on one of the pick-nick tables. Visit Brick Lane on Sunday next to vintage shops you can smell and taste all the flavors of the world, as the street is packed with food stands. It's hard not to do anything touristic in London, so even I had a High Tea in the Orangery of Kensington Palace, and took some pictures of the Big Ben and Horse guards.

RUN FORREST RUN...NIKE CORTEZ

Nike Cortez, was born in the late 1960s, the first running shoe with the Nike Swoosh logo.

The real stardom came when the shoes hits the big screen, the moment Forrest Gump showed them off.

This summer the Nike Cortez is back in style and it's hard to believe that it's 40 years old. Pick your favorite color just from the shelve or make your own color combo with NikeID.

NIKE VINTAGE BLAZER

For those who are fashion forward....."Nike Vintage Blazer", are Slam Dunk. You can call this the must have sneaker for Fall/Winter 2011, you can easily wear it with a jeans but also wit a pair of chinos. Nike continue on with their Blazer High Vintage, keeping it  as real as it's release in 1972. It's SWOOSH-Time......
