Found Art: DUMBO

On my block in DUMBO, I started seeing these series of art — made me look! I especially love the “Fried Chicken” below. Not sure who’s behind these, but it keeps popping up here and there…

Hope you all had a great weekend! xo Hijiri

Knitted Bicycle in DUMBO

Last summer, I found the knitted bicycle in Lower East side… and another one is in DUMBO right now! On York street near Front street. (These pictures were taken 1.5 weeks ago, it was still there this weekend)

Today’s Bridge 1.27.11

Just when everyone in NY thought all the snow was finally melting away… it snowed. a lot. again. Yesterday was actually really pretty with all the new snow, on the street, on the trees, everywhere :)

The Brooklyn Bridge & the snow (that’s a car in front of this picture):

The sledding hill was open again :) Lots of kids were sledding, it looked so fun! (The school was closed yesterday)

I LOVED all the white trees, it was really pretty walking around. (Not so pretty for the brown melted snow area on the grounds, though.)

Happy Friday! and stay dry & warm :)
