KIOSK HELLO

We have had a long-time love affair with Project Num­ber 8 with­out them even know­ing and then we had a long-term love affair with them know­ing. How could we not love what they do, beauty! integrity! a bright mind! Rare attrib­utes and even rarer in com­bi­na­tion. When they asked us to make a col­lec­tion of […]

“This exhi­bi­tion seeks to com­mem­o­rate the many places that have come and gone, all of which have con­tributed to a col­or­ful New York City upbring­ing. This mul­ti­me­dia instal­la­tion will include works on paper, film, lit­er­a­ture and assorted ephemera, pro­vid­ing a unique per­spec­tive which will com­ple­ment the already vast col­lec­tion cur­rently housed in the Reli­quary. By […]

We are proud to show this long­time idol of ours. Ken Brown, the cre­ator of all those post­cards that so inspired us to this day.  Sel­dom did we feel as dumb­founded as when we real­ized all these pic­tures we had lit­tered our walls with (oh, and I had a few wicked rub­ber stamps too) came […]

Fash­ion at a kiosk? - KIOSK - cloth­ing can be as every­day and as essen­tial as a veg­etable peeler, think gen­eral store and think about what you need… Slow and Steady Wins the Race is a cloth­ing label by Mary Ping, pre­sented as a quar­terly cloth­ing diary: past edi­tions: sun­glasses, shoes, sweats, pock­ets, etc (you need it). Beginning on February […]

Some­how bags of all kinds, par­tic­u­larly fancy hand­bags, have become ALL THE RAGE over the past few years. Just like peo­ple on the Amer­i­can fron­tier would have their por­traits taken with their prized music box, images of women today include them­selves and their prized bag. Doo­dles and dod­dles and bibs and bobs, snazzy. We like to offer […]

They are back, the cou­ple behind the eso­teric store that inspired us a lot to do what we do. Some of you remem­ber a store on 13th St between 4th Ave and Ave A that sold an all sorts of pleas­ant and won­der­fully unpleas­ant things — for exam­ple, our ghastly par­rot lamp was a find […]

Mrs Mos­quito, why are you still around? It’s Novem­ber and you should be dead asleep or just plain dead. I wish death upon no-one but you at this point. Please bite our neigh­bor instead. Bzzz, go away, way, way!

Yes, if you don’t go, I’ll call for Super Timor — the real buzz-kill.
The real sad part is […]

This is a link to a video of a cyclist being assaulted by a cop
From Boing­Bo­ing:
” Although a judge ruled in 2006 that the monthly Crit­i­cal Mass bicy­cle rides could pro­ceed with­out a per­mit, the NYPD’s stance remains some­what adver­sar­ial. Though the city has not been enforc­ing the con­tro­ver­sial parade per­mit law when it comes to […]

Not your aver­age cof­fee shop, Zibetto! Founded by one of the own­ers of our favorite cof­fee bar in Stock­holm, Sosta, is it run in the tra­di­tion of an Ital­ian cof­fee bar, no tables, walk in, remain stand­ing, have a really good cof­fee and go. No Amer­i­can cof­fee is served here and def­i­nitely it is contrary […]

Umm, tonight (Sat­ur­day May 17th, 2008) at our store, we are doing our first Mini-Exhibition, this one with the design group Rich, Bril­liant, Will­ing. This should have been posted a cou­ple of days ago, so I guess unless you are in the bor­oughs we wont be see­ing you tonight. The group are show­ing their […]
