must-NY-see, part II.

i posted one of these for my friend john a while back for his trip from london to new york. well, now my dear friend age is heading over to brooklyn, taking the tankard for a bit of a holiday and i've promised him a list of things to do. i know that he won't get to anything, but what kind of friend would i be, if i didn't provide this kind of support, hey?

age, have a ball. and if you don't come back, i promise to send you most of your shoes and your xbox.

the highline "urban park" on the old rail line
11 spring st. i know it's not a mecca for street-style art anymore, but if you're in the area, spill a drink on the gutter.
scott reeder @ daniel reich gallery
deitch projects
cheim&read gallery
buy some crack from an artist (in a side note: how the hell does that guy get two different-coloured arms!?!)

heyho!
i was already planning a trip to Highline but i'll try to sneak in some of the others too. I have a suspicion that 11 Spring might be boarded up already though :/

@age yeah, spring street is not a hot place to go, but you know, sometimes you gotta visit graveyards. and yes, 5 points.. awesome.

@john as age will tell you, it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it that counts. apparently.
