Howells.

• Never trust a barista who isn’t wearing a jaunty wooly hat. If they’re not wearing a hat, they’re an imposter, not a barista.
• You need to go to see Sleep No More at least three times. It’s a piece of theatre that just keeps on giving.
• Queens is going to be the new SoHo/Dumbo quicker than you think.
• Hanging out with Eli, Allan, Johnnie, Mark, and Cameron is the making of a very drunken but fun and interesting night.
• Traffic on Broadway always goes downtown. Know that and you’ll orientate yourself quickly.
• Studiomates is a wonderful place to be, and thank you to Tina for letting me be an impostor for a week. (I wrote more about them in a recent post.)
• I really like ramen now, after being quite unsure for a few years.
• Staying in an apartment is superior to staying in a hotel in New York. Especially if you are right in the middle of Chinatown/L.E.S. like I was.
• Art.sy is going to be huge. (Read more on a recent blog post.)
• Coursekit is going to be huge.
• For British designers/developers who might want to spend some time in New York, now is the time to explore the opportunity. Every. Single. Start-up. Is. Hiring.
• I’m excited to see the launch of Wander and it was good to meet Keenan Cummings.
• Hyperakt makes me warm and fuzzy inside every time I visit them.
• Yardbird can mean a mixture of chicken, turkey, and chopped cabbage.
• Twitter has exciting plans afoot. Yaron told me son.
• If you are ever asked if you want a “waterback” in a hipster bar, it just means, “water”.
• If you meet Frank Chimero, just ask him to talk about Jazz.

Thanks to everyone for making it another wonderful and insightful trip.
