Stay curious and colorful–

Let’s go in.

Sparkle.

Color blocker.

Striking.

Stay colorful.

MMHHMMM! We gotta keep lookin’ at stuff in an attempt to keep our synapses poppin’…let’s see what we have here.

We have old artists and emerging artists. . .the Rubells are longtime collectors and have a forward-looking approach to their selections. So though a lot of this place feels like a stroll down memory lane, there is still enough new-ish stuff that keeps us thinking, “the now is cool, and the future could also be cool, if we allow it to be.” Very nice.

The Rubell Museum is spacious…plenty of room for all of the work to breathe and stretch out…plenty of room for us to breathe and stretch out as well…very breathable and stretchy–niiiiiiice.

The pandemic continues, we are fully vaccinated, we embrace masking up, everyone maintains generous social distance…plus, there is a tasty restaurant on the premises–mmmm, aaaaahh! Hence, there is very little reason to not take in some art and lunch. . .

. . .wherever you are take all precautions to protect your health, and then get out and do something stimulating and scintillating and vaccinating. (Is ‘vaccinating’ an adjective?…it is NOW)

I send you colorful vibes from a museum somewhere on the coast of North America…feel them…they can help you remember why being a human is a good thing.

It’s still lovely out there.

Ridiculously good…Nakaji…NYC–

Ready for gobbling.

Typical magical goodness served up by Nakajima-san.

The master: Nakajima-san.

Toro, baby, toro.

Uni, from Russia and Hokkaido with love.

Yes, the pandemic is being managed, vaccines are being injected and we continue to be hungry. . .sushi always makes us happy. . .and we are never happier than when we gobble with Nakajima-san at his joint called simply, Nakaji. Let’s check it out.

Nakajima-san is a sushi master…he wants us to feel like we are in his house, and his house is very nice–soothing, simple and clean…we could stay here for a long time, if he would let us.

It’s cold outside so he starts us off with a delectable little abalone soup with a hot broth that makes us go, “aaaahhh!”

After this we gobble skipjack, spider squid (whole baby squids served in a savory sauce–delightful), bass and baby peach…then an array of sushis that include more bass, snapper, mackerel, toro, salmon roe, uni from near Russia, uni from Hokkaido, more uni, eel, etc. and so on. . .until we end with a tasty little Japanese strawberry with powdery miso. . .ALL TOTALLY RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! WOW!!

All of this goodness is washed down with a sparkling wine from Alsace–not bad…and a big bottle of sake called ‘Dan’. . .mmmm, aaaaahh!

So, please keep your chins up out there. . .all is moving upward and onward. . .and wherever you are do your best to enjoy the best stuff you can find around you. Time is short, and we gotta enjoy everything we can NOW.
