First moves towards an unstoppable summer with my new indiana – other rides but same feeling: riding september…
Cabinet52 a new space in Zurich for temporary installations in the field of design, fashion and accessories. Jeroen van Rooijen “Zerlegt” classics of fashion and this in the truest sense of the word: with knife and scissors and the Bernina „Auftrennerli“, he cut the clothes, to analyse their story and check the processing. The concept is to ask the question of sustainability and rational production, to find out something about the origin, trade and production routes of each piece. Last Thursday, a shirt from the brand Rapha has been „Zerlegt“. The nice Thing is, that the arrangements of the cutted individual parts, photographed by Patrick Rohner, get a new life as aesthetic Pictures. From the series in the NZZ Folio, the best 44 projects are collected in the book “Zerlegt”.
The first boat shoe was introduced in 1935. I bought myself one of these original Sperry Top-Siders in the hope that soon a sailboat passes by…
What an adventurous Project: This Spring Tomas Oschwald will attempt to paddle from his home in Mollis, Switzerland to the Atlantic Ocean – and back. 5000 km in total! The route which he chose, allows him to paddle the full tour on his SUP without leaving the water (exception: watergates, embankments, sleeping and getting food)…
As a photographer, Thomas will realize an impressive documentation of his trip: with self created equipment such as remote controlled tripods and a cable-car tracking system, he will shoot fascinating pictures, which can be followed live on the internet www.surfline.ch

I’m on the mailing list of hapakitchen and today I got an invitation for a dinner with authentic East-West flair at Milk Bar in Brooklyn. Cathy Erway, former writer of the blog Not eating out in New York, partnered with Milk Bar, a cafe in Prospect Heights, on a tasty dinner menu after its normal operating hours. What a pity that I’m in Zurich… but for all the lucky ones with the chance being in NY check it out: this Wednesday, May 4th from 7-9pm, Cathy will be serving up steamed bun with three types of “sliders” inside, with beef, chicken and pork. Homemade pickles with seasonal vegetables and crisp lotus chips on the side. The night will begin with fresh oysters from their friends at Long Island’s Blue Moon Fish, and finish with a matcha green tea milkshake to wash it all down. It’s 25$ for the 3-course prix fixe. Hmmm.
Cathy’s interesting projects and a lot of nice recipes:
