A Slight Deviation From My Usual Topic...A Restaurant Review: Tao

Media_httpwwwurbanspooncomblink41307biglinkgif_qqycjbgfofjsknd
Well, last night me and two other friends decided to go to this restaurant Tao (located on 58th street between Park. Ave and Madison Ave.). They serve Modern-Asian cuisine which is traditional Asian food, just updated and with a twist. The restaurant itself could be confused for a night club. The bar is always packed and good luck getting in without a reservation because even with one you need to wait a minimum of 15 minutes to be seated. In the restaurant area, you can sit in the lower area over looking the massive Buddha statue located at the front of the restaurant, or the upper area which is usually for smaller groups of two or three. Besides the decore and club atmosphere being out of this world, the food is actually amazing. Everything has so much flavor, and the sushi is like butter and tastes really fresh! Next time you're in Manhattan, be sure to check out Tao!

Nike SB Dunk Mid Beijing

Nike SB is teaming up with Fly and Triumvir to make the Beijing SB Duk Mid. This sneaker has a lot of Asian influence as both companies Nike SB hooked up with are located in China. Some of the influences used to create this Dunk were noodles, traffic, highways and Tiananmen Square. This dunks are currently released and you can get them at certain SB Dunk retailers, like Kix-Files. They retail from $145 USD to $150 USD depending on your size (Kix-Files is currently sold out of any size bigger than a US 11). Get them before they're gone!

Anything (A-NY-Thing)

The brand ANYTHING (or A New York Thing depends on how you feel like pronouncing it) is an up and coming street wear brand. This brand's designs come straight out of Brooklyn, NY and they're store is located on Hester St. in Manhattan, NY. It reminds me of The Hundreds a little bit. I like how they incorporate certain things into their clothing such as Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Hot Lunch (you know that nasty stuff they served you in elementary school) and create something that's new and fresh! If you want to cop some of their clothing their site is http://anewyorkthing.com/store/index.php#.

Why I love Billionaire Boys Club

Billionaire Boys Club is the next best thing to A Bathing Ape. They're clothing actually has a rack life (though not a long one), and the employees at their NY flagship are really helpful and kind (unlike Flight Club Greene St. or Supreme NY). But what I love the most...customer appreciation! Look at the email I got today from BBC's customer support:

BBC & ICE CREAM CUSTOMER SERVICE

The only thing Bape emails me about is their new Spring release (because I wouldn't have found out about that anyway) and Nigo's book signing at their NY location (which was actually helpful, till hypebeast covered the story and then everyone and their mother went to get a book). But never the less BBC has customer appreciation which is something Bape NEEDS to get in the near future (though not having it won't really damage their sales...so I doubt it'll happen. But it'd be nice!)
