Here’s a holiday gift idea. A lil’ series of guide books, formerly known as eatshop, now called rather. Started by Kaie Wellman out of Portland, OR, these books are a city-specific source of awesome semi-secret local eats and shops. I got to photograph and write up 28 new places for this 3rd edition. Like Mile End, a Canadian-Jewish deli in Boreum Hill. Or C’H’C’M, the perfect mens store run by my neighbor Sweetu in Noho. The write ups were fun, very personal…so if you want a “friend in the head,” guiding you around NYC, pick up rathernewyork!
