Herb Lester — Where The Sidewalk Ends: How to find old New York
I'm a BIG fan of Herb Lester maps. I have two from London, and I may have to add this new one to my collection. Whether you use them for navigation or just enjoy the design, they're really lovely.
This is a guide to the New York you’ve always wanted to see but feared might have disappeared for good. It depicts a city of Edward Hopper diners and down-at-heel dive bars, overstocked grocery stores and mountainous pastrami sandwiches. From Patsy’s Pizzeria in Harlem, to the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown, taking in along the way Katz's, the '21' Club and McSorley's Old Ale House, in these long-established Manhattan businesses, the city’s cantankerous spirit lives on.
The map has been designed and illustrated by New York’s own Jim Datz. It is A3 (297x420mm) folded to A6 (105x148mm), and litho printed on recycled paper.

Pretty paint is pretty.
This is mesmerizing. Watch it full screen, and your brain will go a little wobbly. I like.

Italian-made Arcofalc Foosball Table.
Ah, the ol' table football. Takes me back to my college days. This vintage piece is a beauty. And the price ($250) seems quite reasonable considering its age and condition.

Indulgence Chocolatiers.
A little local love here for Indulgence Chocolatiers, made right here in The MKE. (I got mine at Beans & Barley, if you're local and interested.)
But first - a confession. I ate a $6.75 chocolate-with-sea-salt bar in one sitting last night. I'm not proud that I did it, but it was was all, "Oh, hey - I'm supersmooth chocolate with salty little crystals that pop into the sweet melty chocolate in your mouth." And I was all, like, "DAMN you. I'm powerless against your sweet and savory wiles." (Except way more muffled because I had a mouth full of chocolate.)
And now that I know they have espresso/limoncello truffles (WHAT?), I'm almost terrified. Buy some of this crack for someone you love. Free shipping until 2/11.
Every morsel of chocolate offered by Indulgence Chocolatiers is meticulously handcrafted in our Milwaukee area kitchen. Our use of the finest imported Belgian chocolate gives our delicacies their rich flavor and smooth texture. As delicious as they are beautiful, our chocolates are sure to impress even the most sophisticated palate.

The evolution of toys.
Sometimes our leaps in technology just sort of mesmerize me.
