Holton Farms…. NYC’s Coolest Farm Truck.

By Nicole Cohen, on August 27th, 2010

Yesterday, I spotted this truck just a block away from Bryant Park. Wanna know what it is? Its a farm Truck. Holton Farms, a family owned farm in Vermont, has multiple farm trucks throughout the city, dispersing their farm fresh produce as well as serving as CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) drop off and pickup points through out the 5 boroughs.

I love this idea, I love the ingenuity, and I love love love the fact that their farm fresh produce can be hand picked by me on the internet (via their CSA program) and can be picked up just a few blocks from my house.

I’m joining!

(They only operate until November, which still leaves me wondering WHAT THE HECK TO EAT IN WINTER! There is NO LOCAL FOOD!)

Updates at my house…

By Nicole Cohen, on August 27th, 2010

I was in my apartment for 2 days this week (why does it feel like I get more done in 2 days of Manhattan time than 2 months of NJ time? ) and I made some changes….

You are going to have to head over to My First Little Place to read my little interview and see all the changes I made!

Then come back here and tell me what you thought!

JImmy Choo for Hunter: The look for less.

By Nicole Cohen, on August 26th, 2010

I follow Christian Siriano on twitter. You know, the wunderkind winner of Project Runway?

Anyway he tweeted about his rainboots selling out and so I went to have a peek:

$50 at Payless.

Those look awfully familiar dont they….

Jimmy Choo for Hunter $425

Um, Ok Cristian. You “designed” those.

Organic Modernism, Uptown.

By Nicole Cohen, on August 25th, 2010

A great NYC resource for very reasonably priced modern furniture is White on White. They have a branch of the company called Organic Modernism, and I was delighted to happen upon their new store on 57th street today. Opened just 3 weeks!

249 E.57th ST New York, NY 10022 212.546.9020

As you can see, the shop mixes a lot of midcentury modern style furniture with brass,natural woods, industrial looking lamps, as well as a slew of antlers, taxidermy, portraits and portraits of animals. In other words, the Selby is in this place. I think this may be the only hipster style furniture store on the Upper East Side. All their stuff is also available online, ands its VERY well priced.
