Windows can be placed where the light falls most beautifully during the day, high-placed windows can let in light without being visible, a narrow window can frame a tree or a special section of nature.
Early dinner at a Korean restaurant. Pleasantly surprised by the number of small dishes served before the main meal. Fresh, flavorful & not too spicy.
Shirokuro, a Japanese restaurant in NYC’s East Village, where everything looks like a hand-drawn sketchbook.
