My friend Cindy had her 3 yr anniversary party at The Wooly for her shop Suite Orchard in the Lower East Side. It was a late one at work and I was in no mood to take people shots so I opted for below.

It was my friend Jen’s birthday tonight. Afer dinner celebrations at Les Enfants Terribles, we proceeded to Home Sweet Home where it was some sort of indie goth night. Anyway, there was a goth punk synth pop band that came on that I thought was bloody awesome.

day 228: The Mars Bar NYC

Nat Ma — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:08:15 +0000

Mars Bar – I’ve walked past this bar in Noho a few times and have always noticed that the people in there look like they’ve either just shot someone or have been shot at themselves. Yes its divey and sketchy as hell but there’s something about this place that makes me curious about stepping inside…

< day 227: zombies in times square

day 226: nvr say nvr

Nat Ma — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:16:21 +0000

My good friends Nini and Jen pictured below used to DJ and run a mid week night called NVR SAY NVR at a bar called Kings Cross. Must say the music selection is the best NYC has to offer. They describe their music as ::NEWWAVEPOSTPUNKBRITPOPINDIESOULSHOEGAZEROCK::. I’ve been promising the girls that I would do a post for them ever since the first time I was there. I’ve been so slack that the night has now finished up so this is a back dated post in memory of NVR SAY NVR. Not to worry though, they are putting on another bi-weekly Sunday night gig at Sweet Paradise.

< day 225: awww how sweet….

Making most of the last of the warm days in Summer. Happy hour with friends – half price delicious cocktails at Back 40.

day 175: Cafe Moto Brooklyn

Nat Ma — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:12:57 +0000

I visited a friend in Brooklyn last night and we popped into Cafe Moto for dinner. This place is a small Brooklyn hideaway. The creative direction and attention to detail of the nostalgic decor, circa 1938, is enough for anyone to cross the Williamsburg bridge. Not to mention the fantastic French fare on offer.

I was compelled to write about this place when Sasha Dobson set up shop and performed live for the dinner guests. Her soulful music coupled with the atmospheric lighting really created a certain romantic ambiance. Even after half a year in NYC, it’s still a nice surprise for me to chance encounter a place like this on a Monday night in the quiet outskirts of Williamsburg where I can eat great food listening to beautiful music in a charming environment.
