Random Stuff I Saw Walking the Streets of New York
Awhile back I was flown out to New York to shoot a piece for the TV show Good Day New York. It’s no longer online but I promise it was cool.
Anyways, while walking around I clicked photos of all the strange shit I came across, so I figured I’d share them with you. Wandering New York is definitely one of the best FREE things you can do in the world.
Women’s bathroom at the BCCI ended up getting pretty wasted at The Bushwick Country Club and found myself pissing in women’s bathroom. I’d like to think of this as like a toilet paper cow because it reminds me of udders. Gentlemen, this is why we will ultimately lose the battle of the sexes. We can never win against this kind of brilliance.
Sid and NancyI know it’s hard to tell because this is such a shitty and blurry picture but these two looked just like Sid and Nancy. It was kinda unnerving because I was thinking, “hey, aren’t they supposed to be dead?”. Being that punk is way too much work for me.
Somewhere in the West VillageI found this while walking around the West Village one day and thought it was really pretty. It looks like a magic doorway where, if you knock the right way and say a password, you will get to pass through and walk into Victorian New York. Truthfully, if I ever sell out and become a total yuppie, I want you to know that it’s just because I want to own a townhouse in the West Village. What a lovely neighborhood.
A tiny bag of weedThis is a really tiny bag of shwag weed I found on the street in Williamsburg. Really, who the hell buys nickel sacks of shitty pot? I mean, other than me when I was 15.
Done by NYU art students…or maybe Voldemort.I found this in the window of some NYU art school. It looked like some kind of Muppet holocaust. Actually, to be more accurate, it looks like Jim Henson’s Workshop was been targeted by Vlad the Impaler. Who knew the Muppets were so unpopular in Transylvania?

The doorway is rad. At first, I thought it was a regular door, but then noticed the creepy cellar underneath. I hope this is either a fight club or speakeasy.
The weird part is that it’s not a doorway at all! It’s just this like thing on the wall. Maybe it was once a doorway that got cemented up. Regardless it’s dope!
haha- “or maybe Voldemort”
free Concerts to go with any found bag of shwag

Throw a blanket down, people watch, have a reason to break out the picnic basket or just a reason to drink cheap wine under the stars. It’s a fun date and cheap:)
I love wandering around New York. I do it all the time, usually at night. WV is the same at 4 am as 4pm, but Chinatown gets scary.
Yup, I’ve wandered Chinatown late at night too. There’s some pretty interesting alleyways there. The great thing about wandering at night in Manhattan, is that there are always things going on and your evening can end in any number of ways.
