New York has the best macrobiotic cafe, located in Soho. Souen This is my very first stop at every trip. It has been there for ever , at least for 30 some years. It is quite amazing because it is playing against all the marketing rules we know. They never change the menu, they did not change interior in all these years ( perhaps some fresh paint ) Same tables, same chairs as 30 years ago. No image, no advertizing ( the website is nice ) .... but amazing good, fresh and healthy food. Friendly personel and always open. Unfortunately I picked a hotel in midtown so it is too far to have breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Lunch is vegetarian Sushi, made of brown rice and rolled in sesame seeds. heavenly Kale with Carrot dressing and Hijiki salad
Kate Spade is making really nice accessories and has a fantastic looking shop at 454 Broome street, Soho. It is a good stop if you are in Soho.
I went to Elisabeth street to see if something new had happend. Not really. Erica Kanov is still there with her sweet shop of simple feminine pieces. The mood of the collection and the shop is very eclectic and personal.
Double RL is really a great menswear shop and very Ralph Lauren...The perfect vintage items for a casual styled man.
My favorite stop was MODO, 252 Moot Street, for a pair of new eyeglasses. The store has really good brands. Loved the Fabien Baron Eyewear.
If you like vintage interior and textile Paola Rubenstein at 65 Prince street is a good stop. I think her selection is amazing and a dreamland.

It is so easy to forget to raise your head sometimes and look at the fantastic buildings NY has. This is the Little Singer Building, designed by Ernest Flagg in the 1902,
on 561 Broadway.
A nice tea brake at The Mercer hotel cafe, 147 Mercer street.
I had poached pear in warm Frangipane sauce.
Not bad.....,
Gunn
