This is $100,000,000 penthouse in New York City

If you pay $100,000,000 to live in New York City, this is the quality and view you will get.

Is it worth it to you or not? 

 
 
 
 
 
 



You literally pay for the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Freedom Tower, all in one shot.

This is the $100,000,000 view for you.

By the way, the space is 30,000 square feet, 13 feet high ceiling, and at 1,400 feet above ground top floor.


Still too much.........

tokyo: cpcm store opening

 
japanese culture's relationship with nature could be best described as one focused on total   harmony, yet at 93%, japan's urbanization rate is one of the highest among industrialized countries. it's no wonder that this odd discrepancy adds up to an ongoing obsession for nature, nostalgia and rustic lifestyle, and retail is one of the domains that creatively banks on this trend with a continuous stream of new concepts. one of the latest major initiatives is conceptualized by a tokyo-based brand stylist and photographer with a certain renown in fashion circles and beyond: takashi kumagai. in his capacity as creative director, kumagai created cpcm – short for crafts and permaculture country mall – a concept store with a tightly range of goods that loosely reference a rustic lifestyle. the store is situated on meiji dori, a bustling thoroughfare in the harajuku district.
in full compliance with the retail concept, the façade of the cpcm store is largely covered in panels of repurposed wood, and this rural-inspired aesthetic extends indoors. indeed, the interior features timber in equal measure, but the material is creatively applied in different guises, from flooring and shelving, to panels and one decorative louvered ceiling. a number of carefully sourced, stylish props add to a sense of the big outdoors, albeit with an americana perspective. as said, the merchandise at cpcm is quite varied, ranging from men's and women's apparel, accessories and shoes, to homeware, furniture pieces, utensils and even plants. overwhelmed? no worries. a small café on the premises, serving a concise menu of drinks and bites, gets you back on your feet in no time. to celebrate the store opening, an exhibition of bona capello hats was held, while a special collab hat model is temporarily available. location: 6-12-22 jingumae [harajuku].

Entube for everyone

Entube Harissa paste

My friend, Richard has made much stylish tube for everyone to tube it for any kind of food literally. 

Harissa is a North African hot chili pepper paste, and has been a main condiment in Tunisia since 1530's. 

During the thanksgiving in Yosemite together, both of our family decided to bring all kinds of food from city not relying on the markets in Yosemite. We brought turkey, sirloin steak, raw fish for "temaki sushi", Liver pate, cheese, ham, vegetables............ We cooked full menus from morning to late nights and applied Entube Harissa for everything on a table. I was so impressed with this condiment making food even more delicious, unique, and we just did not get tired of eating. 

If you are condiment guy, try this magic tube for your dining experience. Its good.

LA TIMES just featured Entube and I thought I should share with food lovers.

                                                           ↓ 
                                                        
Need a stocking stuffer for someone who’s addicted to Sriracha? Get them hooked on North African harissa from Entube in downtown L.A. The spicy sauce is flavored with paprika, cayenne, cumin, sumac, coriander and other spices.

The chile paste dispensed from a sleek silver tube quickly becomes a habit you can’t break. Put it on eggs, roasted vegetables, lentil soup or in your salad dressing. Use it as a rub on fish, meats and poultry. Blend some into your burger mix. Even use it to give cocktails (think Bloody Mary) some extra oomph.

Entube founder Richard J. Lasselle said he dreamed up this modern version of harissa during summers in Provence. Entube harissa is not strictly traditional, though. He’s given it a unique twist with his spicing and with the introduction of Amazonian acerola berry for its vitamin C and Ayurvedic (holistic healing) properties.

Entube harissa is vegetarian, vegan, paleo, Kosher, non-GMO -- all that good stuff -- and the tube and packaging are 100% recyclable.




The default is a 3.5-ounce tube, but some stores are selling mini-versions for about a dollar a piece. That's inexpensive enough that you can sprinkle them like snowflakes in the Christmas stockings of everybody you know. The little tubes could even make unconventional gift ties.
