Why New York City rules in cool.

Consider this graphic a basic guide of whats going on in “Artsy” Brooklyn these days. Clockwise from top left:

• Macbook. As seen in coffee shops everywhere.
• Aviator Glasses. As seen in the movie Top Gun.
• Flannel. Made famous by Kurt Cobain circa 1992.
• Prada Eyewear. As seen on the L-train commute.
• Bianchi Pista. Fixies are less a trend for the band of hardworking bike messengers.
• Mac and Cheese. Hands down an American favorite.
• Sparks. Think of it as orange soda laced with moonshine.
• Vans. Never out of style. Slip-ons for playtime.
• Cheap Monday. Ladies: Tight jeans are the way to a man’s heart
• Swing Jacket. They’re not everywhere yet but on their way.
• M.I.A. Music that goes well with tight jeans.
• Country. Works well with whiskey. And whiskey works with anything.
• Budweiser. Another American classic. Goodbye PBR.
• Americano. (to go!) Notice a trend in “Americana”? Me too.
• Pirate boots. We’ll see about this last one. But ladies love their boots.

There. You got a quick visual taste and look at what our big city has to offer. Its OK to recycle!
