Start Your Weekend Early

Thanks to this beautiful New York weather and these great New York events, you can start your weekend early this week!

                                   

1. Brooklyn Museum will have Caveman headline the latest installment of the museum’s audiophile series.

                                   

2. Filmmaker Werner Herzog, best known for his 2005 documentary Grizzly Man, discusses his piece in this year’s Whitney Biennial, Hearsay of the Soul. Herzog’s video installation slowly pans across Dutch artist Hercules Segers’s landscapes while a relaxing soundtrack plays. His installation is the best piece in the Biennial, in our opinion! All the info can be found HERE

                                                                              

3. London Underground by Tom Dixon Pop Up Shop! Addictive lifestyle online store, Fab.com, is setting up shop in the lower level of the Bleecker Street Theatre, featuring designer Tom Dixon’s modern furniture and lighting for up to 70 percent off.

Spring Lunch Inspiration

Came across this wonderful recipe on My New Roots, where this asparagus ribbon salad is described as “one of the easiest salads I’ve made in a while – it whips up in no time and the flavour is bang on. Plus, no pots to clean, no hot stove to slave over. It’s a sophisticated-without-being-stuffy spring salad to savour. Enjoy.” We will be trying this recipe out tomorrow for lunch!

Spring Breakfast Inspiration

We love all of My New Roots’ recipe suggestions, but our latest must-try is this recipe for raw sprouted granola. Add some blueberry sauce, yogurt and fruit, and you have a quick and delicious breakfast. Check out the details, here.
