Jim Morrison by Joel Brodsky at the Morrison Hotel in New York.

Only in my life could a place called the Morrison Hotel be located on Prince Street (my two favorite singers of all time)!  The Morrison Hotel is not just a place – it’s an amazing art gallery that has all kinds of amazing rock and roll ephemera and their current exhibit (at the location on 124 Prince Street) is one of the late Joel Brodsky, who captured so many iconic images of Jim Morrison.  You are probably familiar with the images, but when you see the prints blown up, you might wet yourself as I did.  The photos look like they were taken yesterday and they are simply stunning to feast your eyes on.  Since the photos are copy written, I was allowed to take gallery view shots and present them to you.  If you are a fan of The Doors, you owe it to yourself to catch this exhibit – it will really light your fire.  Check the Morrison Hotel Gallery website for more details.

Art is Over. Here.

Mr. Brainwash’s Icons exhibit has been “remixed” and it relaunches on Mother’s Day.  It’s located at 415 West 13th Street in New York.  Admission is free.  Cameras are encouraged and best of all, the art is super awesome.  It’s open throughout the month of May, so don’t miss out!

The poster for Christopher Makos' Polaroids exhibit. Now showing at the Christopher Henry Gallery through May 23, 2010.

At the Christopher Henry Gallery in New York is an exhibit not to be missed: Christopher Makos’ Polaroids.  Makos is an American artist whose photos have been seen all over the world in magazines and exhibits alike.  He was a good friend to Andy Warhol and he introduced the works of Keith Haring and Basquiat to Andy!  This show has candid shots of Debbie Harry of Blondie, Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground’s Lou Reed, just to name a few.  The folks at the Christopher Henry Gallery were kind enough to let me post a few photos I took at the exhibit, but I’d like to reiterate that seeing them on a website and seeing them with your own eyes are vastly different experiences.  The exhibit runs through May 23, 2010 and the gallery, located at 127 Elizabeth Street is open from Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am – 6 pm.  Don’t miss out!

Baja Fresh located at 1441 Broadway. Now open!

Good news for California transplants (like myself) in New York.  Baja Fresh has opened two locations in Manhattan.  The first is located at 465 Lexington Avenue (Between 45th and 46th) and the other is located at 1441 Broadway (Between 40th and 41st).

If you don’t know their menu, they have delicious healthier and fastish Mexican food than most places.  The New York branches are a bit more expensive than their California locations, but the food is great and worth every penny.
