First of all, let me say that it is wonderful to see a friend find something that makes him so fulfilled. Corey Rosenberg recently opened The Corey Gallery with absolutley wonderful art by one of his instructors at the School of Visual Arts, Adrienne Leban. I have to add that he was absolutely glowing. Being an Art History minor and all, I am fascinated by the art world (I love to be the armchair art critic like guys love to be the armchair quarterback or others a backseat driver) so I was extremely excited to go to the opening of the gallery. The Corey Gallery is completely approachable and not stuffy by any means. The art is great and accessible on many levels: modern yet organic, monochromatic but alive, and not esoteric to the point of making the viewer endlessly dig for a deeper meaning. Adrienne Leban is extremely talented and creates the type of work that sticks in the back of your head and you think about all the time. Definitley check out The Corey Gallery's site. This is a must see..

John Derian is one of the coolest stores I have come across. Like ScapeNY, I would describe it as a cabinet of curiosities containing everything from books, antique bug collections, decoupage plates, paperweights, and just about anything you really want but don't in any way need. Settled on E. 2nd Street next to the Bowery Hotel, you feel as if you have walked into a different time and place when you enter the store. A slight musty smell doesn't make you think grandma's attic, but of a place which houses truly unique finds. My favorite are the small initial letter plates in the front window, which are a perfect gift. Definitely check this place out and prepare to transport yourself off of the busy streets of NYC and into a world that is a little slower, quieter, and extremely unique.

Fools on Top Design eat your heart out! My fabulous friend Sara Story (aka interior designer extraordinaire) has been named #1 on Domino magazine's list of "Top 10 Decorators on the Verge." Her work is absolutely amazing mixing inspiration from travels abroad, classic styling, and a always incorporating an interesting edge. Definitely check her out in Domino this month. Congrats again!!
