faust i don't get the move either. seattle is a second home for me, and as such, i appreciate what totokaelo brings to the marketplace there, which really is quite something in such a comparitively small city, but in nyc the brands they bring to the table seem to be stocked more widely and better by already existing stores. do tell how the opening is, though, i'd be interested to hear your take on it, at least guessing you haven't been to the seattle one.
eleves you're missing out! they got a new entrance to the men's section, which is really ugly and out of place, being smack dab in the middle of the store, but the old entrance to the men's section was through the side, down a serious of stark, twisting corridors, which only added to the stark, minimal appeal of the place itself. also agree that a new store opening is always fun to check out, regardless of the store itself

I think the other driving factor is the fact that they've moved a large portion of their online operations to New York.

They are a 5 minute walk from IF and Kirna Zabete and every imaginable mono brand boutique. I am sure they can get Rick Owens, but I am hard-pressed to think what else they can get.

will be visiting for a week late september, early october.
Mainly looking for restaurant recommendations.
I've been working as a chef/head chef for around 20 years so always looking for inspiration when traveling.
Been to nyc a couple of times so been to a bunch of places so looking for recommendations of places thats kind of under the radar.
the only thing i got booked for this trip is Mission chines food.
Also gonna try to hit up Honetown bbq, ippundo and fuku.
Aslo thinking of going back to Charlie Bird, really liked that place.
would really love a table at ko but it seems impossible as usual...
me and the wife really, really loves to eat and don't mind spending a lot of $ as long as the experience can match the price tag.
Also would like to know if there is any good techno/underground house parties around that time.
cheers

I think you mean Hometown and Ippudo? Ippudo, yes. Hometown is not worth the trip unless you are hellbent on going to Red Hook. Their BBQ is fine but not outstanding.
If you can't get to EMP go for lunch, go to Nomad. EN Japanese for Japanese - both outstanding food and decor, and you can always get a reservation. Porchetta for a hole-in-the-wall lunch.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

indeed.
we don't got too many bbq joints here in sweden(1 that i know of...) so i think it would be kind of fun to take the ferry there for a lunch.
already been to emp and it is indeed amazing, been meaning to go to the Nomad but maybe now is the time.
Thanks

I didn't know there is a ferry, except a water taxi to IKEA. Cool.
Strangely enough, I think Mighty Quinn's is the best BBQ I've had in NYC so far, although it has a fast food joint vibe, the food is outstanding.
Hometown is fine - you go there more for the atmosphere, especially as a foreigner, you'll like the good 'ol 'Merica vibe (even though it's obviously a Disneyland).
Walk around while there - some interesting houses, since a lot of artists and quite high level creatives live there. But stay close to the waterfront and Vun Brunt Street and don't venture towards the projects. Good coffee and desert at Baked. If you have energy, walk over to Pioneer Works. Even if they are closed and you are nice, they might let you in to wonder around. It's worth it.
At Ippudo, you'll wait for a long time no matter the day or the hour. Accept it, it's a thing - order a Sapporo and pork buns at the bar and hang out. If you want to wait less, go to 4:30 and wait half an hour until they open for dinner at 5. You'll probably get first sitting.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
