Chinese place to be Japanese place
This was that grubby looking (at least through the window) Chinese place on Bedford just below N7th. Soon to be Japanese. At least it's not Thai I guess but there does seem to be a bit of an Asian hub forming.
Living Storefront
You may have seen the item in Eater about the new bar coming with the plants on the front. There was a question about how the plants are going to be watered. Turns out there are thin hoses that run between the flats. They're attached to a big hose. So either they're on a timer or they have some kind of constant drip happening.
What amazes me is that they're using succulent plants. I would have thought some kind of hardy grasses or something, maybe ivy. And I would have thought some kind of rough stone or field stone with crags full of dirt. But these are like nursery flats.
This is N5th or so, off Bedford, next to that Mexican place.

... and the kitchen sink
I struggled to frame these things in a balanced way but couldn't find anything satisfying. When I got home I liked the one with this guy walking through it the best.
The return of Faro
This is that one that was left unfinished a while back.
