EAT: Wasabi Tobiko Sushi & Sashimi

There is something you got try : it’s called Wasabi Tobiko Sashimi (soft version) or Wasabi Tobiko Sushi (strong version). It’s essentially tobiko caviar (flying fish eggs) with a wasabi flavor. As soon as the flavor will kick in, you’ll figure out it’s worth it! Watch these videos:

See: Dumbo at the Top of Brooklyn

So far, I think the best way to discover the districts of New York is with Soundwalk’s audio guide. Soundwalk is a cutting-edge audio guide in which you are able to follow a narrator: in the Dumbo experience, the narrator is Asa Mader-a filmaker- because this is his neighborhood. Honestly, this is the kind of experience that gives you shivers. You have to follow the steps of the narrator and follow the instructions. At some point of this audio guide you have to enter a building with a secret code, to get acces to the roof:

And here’s the view you get:

That is for sure something you won’t find in a Lonely Planet! After this magnificent view, we visited the artist area to see some Guerilla art. Here are few snapshots of these art works:

We also stoped by the Gleason’s Gym (You really have to look at this post). Every corner of this area is amazing! I think I took close to 200 photos…

After this experience, I have to admit I totally fell in love with Dumbo. Soundwalk really shows the best of the New York’s district. See the map of this audio guide to visualize the tour. And visit Asa Mader’s website to learn more about his work.

Soundwalk created many audio guide: Chinatown, Little Italy, Meat Packing and many more. Visit www.soundwalk.com/

Running in New York

Running is an interesting way to discover cities. Sunday, I went running in Central Park and saw hundreds of runners. Even if you walk 7 hours a day in New York, it’s running in the morning that will compensate for the Junk food you eat.

There is a new trend called Sightjogging. The concept is fairly simple: it’s a combination of travelling and running. You identify marathons of the year all around the world and you build your itinerary according to it. New York is a good city to run, but you should also try Paris, Dublin, Berlin, Rome… This can be a lot of fun. To inspire you, here are a few dates:

- Ottawa May 24, ncm.ca - I’m going!
- Médoc September 12, marathondumedoc.com
- Berlin September 20, real-berlin-marathon.com
- Chicago October 11, chicagomarathon.com
- Dublin October 26, adidasdublinmarathon.ie
- New York November 1, ingnycmarathon.com
- Honolulu December 13, honolulumarathon.org
- Rome March 2010, maratonadiroma.it
- Paris April 11, 2010, parismarathon.com
- Boston April 19, 2010, bostonmarathon.org
- London April 2010, london-marathon.co.uk

SEE: Fashioning Felt

Fashioning Felt is presented at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum until September 7. It’s a beautiful exhibition that explores the uses of felt now and in the past. Felt is used in product design, fashion, architecture and home furnishings. It’s very difficult to avoid touching the felt even if it’s wrtitten all over the place : ‘Please don’t touch’.

If you want to learn more about the Felt transformation process watch this video:
