Concept stores. Some rock, others fall flat. Tokidoki was a little disappointing. Their capsule store was really cramped and not at all conducive to browsing. Kid Robot is coooool. Lots of little collectibles and a bunch of mega giant fibreglass characters. We might go back to Kid Robot tomorrow night for the launch of the Dunny 2010 collection (we’re very busy people, it’s too early to commit). We were surprisingly restrained and left empty-handed today.
The weirdest purchase of the day was a box of bacon caramel toffee covered in 42% cacao milk chocolate… only in America? The thought of trying it fills me with a mix of excitement and dread. Review to follow in coming days so stay tuned.
We also walked along the High Line – a disused railway bridge that has been converted into a public park. They’ve done an amazing job of integrating the train tracks and urban aesthetic into the garden design and the breeze up there was a sweet relief given the heat we endured walking the streets of New York. Cool views of the Hudson River and across the city skylines.
