Watching BBC 4's 'We'll Take Manhattan' got us
reminiscing about our most recent (and so far only) trip to NYC. The
story explores the love affair between photographer David Bailey and
supermodel Jean Shrimpton after they are sent to New York for a
prestigious Vogue photo shoot in 1962. It was full of amazing
architecture, fashion and design and so we thought we'd share a few of
our photograms. As you can see, we're no David Bailey.
Our favourite things to do in NYC: Eat at the best place in Town, The Skylight Diner Catch one of the weekend Flea markets Look 'UP'. Loads of amazing signage, new and old. Loved the faded painted advertising as seen above, and we found more here Eat a giant pizza... and plenty of Burgers and Cupcakes Go to the best comic book store in New york, Midtown Comics and pick up something to read whilst you're relaxing at Central Park.

We headed down to the Sneaker Lounge at Newcastle's Hoults Yard yesterday to check out the Sole Heaven Yard Sale - and we were not disappointed. Luckily we got there not long after opening, as it seemed every trainer lover in town had come along early doors to try and pick up a bargain. After wading through the crowds and searching through the towers of shoeboxes we came away with a pair of Supra grey waxed canvas Pilots and some Nike Backboard High's in white and mega-blue obsidian, all for the wallet loving price of £25 per pair. The sale has now gone online until midnight on Monday so check it now at www.soleheaven.com and if you're in Newcastle get down to Hoults Yard and into the Sneaker Lounge for an unrivaled selection of kicks.
