I really can’t get enough of tilt-shift films and this one by Sam O’Hare featuring New York City starts right here in Brooklyn.

Root Hill Cafe, one of our favorite coffee spots, is a finalist in Interior Design Magazine’s Best of the Year Awards for the Hospitality/Restaurant/Casual category. Designed by our next door neighbors, RSVP Architecture, the exposed brick space features mounted tin ceiling panels with recessed fluorescent lights and cleverly incorporates an upholstered sloping ramp that creates both seating and spatial dividers.

Located at 4th and Carroll Street, Root Hill serves a damn good cup, and with its smart architecture, it gets our vote.

Good Luck Guys!

Also, during the weekend we got to visit one of our favorite local artists Christopher Wynter. His paintings and sculptures are filled with subtle representational images, ideograms and cultural symbols. He was also commissioned by the MTA to create this mosaic installation found at the 110th Street / Cathedral Parkway Station.

One of the highlights of the Arts Under the Bridge Festival was a visit to Miranda Maher’s studio. Miranda is captivated by birds, which are pervasive in her work. I really enjoyed the smartness of the series called Geometry, where the apparently random flight of birds are paired with mathematical diagrams and her installation Oneiric Oology is at once beautiful, delicate and thought provoking.

This weekend is the D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival .

Art will be everywhere: the streets, sidewalks, storefronts, elevators, lobbies, the water, the waterfront, and the parks. Along with the 65 plus new public art projects, over 100 local artists will open their studios to the public and at the new Galapagos Art Space, video_dumbo will feature a non-stop program of video art.

Last year we spent most of our time in the studios on Jay Street, viewing art, meeting artists, running into friends and at the end of the day relaxing with a good brew at ReBar. If you’ve never been to DUMBO, this would be a great time to visit.
