Trippin': New York City - Little Italy

Little Italy is adjacent to Chinatown and you'll know you have arrived when you see the green, white and red structures that arches over the streets. Some of the streets are closed off allowing pedestrians to amble aimlessly through the throng of people looking for cafes, shops and pizza. There was a place that we were supposed to go get some cannoli's from but the constant eating didn't allow for it. So I will mos def try it when I go back. Ciao!

Trippin': New York City - Kid Robot

118 Prince Street
New York, NY 10012

I love me some Kidrobot! Specifically my dunny's. I love it when I'm with people are cool with going wherever. It makes it much easier for me to go, ok, let's go here! Haha. So we found the Kidrobot store, located in SoHo. There were some jumbo figures that we had fun taking fotos with. Including, a smoking labbit seat that voodoo could not stop talking about even when we got back to Houston. Price tag? A smoking $1200. Eek! A few of us purchased some goodies. We were supposed to have an unwrapping party that never came to. I'm impressed that the folks who work at the store know the names of the artists who designed all of the figurines.

Musik Mundi: Imogen Heap

Here's a song from Imogen Heap's new album. It's the first single and the one I like the best from the bunch. But seriously. They need to stop playing that Jason DeRulo song Whatcha Say continuously on the radio. I love Hide and Seek and they're killing it for me.

Trippin': New York City - Hello Kitty

While zooming by in a cab down Park Ave, I caught a glimpse of a big Hello Kitty sculpture and made a mental note of the location. We had some time to kill before an early dinner reservation the next day so I guided my group towards Hello Kitty. I'm not even a fan of Hello Kitty but I'm always up for a foto op. So we spent many minutes taking pics.
