Every year on april 1st W+K celebrates founders day. It’s a day of madness and debauchery and this year was the 30th year celebration (10years for the NYC office), so huge expectations… In the morning all employees received a personal package with a daredevil jump suit in your own measurements. On the 6th floor of our office in Soho there was a racetrack built up, mini motorcycle racing followed. Paintball face offs and a lot of drinking was also part of the fun. The day ended much later at the West Way and after that the Jane Hotel.
Acme – 9 Great Jones Street
Last night for Wictor in New York so we took him to Acme, recently reopened place on Great Jones Street. The food is good but the decor, atmosphere and crowd is better. We had ham, duck, chicken, steak, lobster, mash and a bunch of beers…
Pit stop
A brief rehydration stop at Epistrophy in Nolita.
Wictor in town…
Wictor is here for the weekend so we went for some beers yesterday. First stop Cafe Select on Lafayette opposite La Esquina. Then some dinner outside at bar Pitti and way later ending up at Tortilla Flats…
Brooklyn Local
Brooklyn Local is a great tasting strong (like 9%) beer that comes in Champagne style bottles. There is a lighter one, no1 and a darker one no2 to choose from, both brewed here in Brooklyn.

Taxi-ing to Williamsburg
Perla – 24 Minetta Lane
Sarah took us out to try Perla, a newly opened restaurant by the guys behind Fedora and Joseph Leonard. You wouldn’t find it unless you knew where it was, tucked away on Minetta Lane opposite Minetta Tavern. The food was super, we had foie gras toast a bunch of pasta and a rib eye aged for 56 days. Yum!
Sneak Peek
Whistler
We had a day off from the shoot in Canada so me, Lars, Joel and Kalle got in the car (our rolling man-cave) and drove to Whistler. Great skiing only two hours away. The weather wasn’t great but we had a lot of fun!
Hard work
When we are not shooting we are eating and the food here in Vancouver is pretty great! Here a 2.2 pound lobster from the Blue Water Cafe.
Studio shoot
We have been stuck in a studio (or actually a warehouse with no heating…) outside Vancouver for the last few days, sets have been built, dogs are training and models rehearsing… Tomorrow is the final day, lights on and roll camera!
Vancouver
Next stop Vancouver
Going Vancouver for the next ten days to shoot a TV spot for Target. Been working on this project forever so very happy that it’s finally happening. And seeing Vancouver will be fun too, more pictures to come…
Thursday Night
Simon is in New York for a couple of weeks, party party… This is Thursday night last week, Erik, Simon and I went for food and drinks in the West Village.

Artisan, 275 Old Post Road Southport CT
On Saturday we went to Artisan in Southport, Connecticut for lunch. It’s the restaurant Liza designed (http://on.fb.me/yR46BP) last summer , it looked great and the food was super. The restaurant also got an amazing review in the NY Times. Last but not least I made the logo
