i headed to 181 orchard today to go to bbs, and instead found a totally new shop called BBlessing. the exterior and the entire interior have been completely redesigned. i saw a lot of stuff by rag & bone and surface to air, and there is a small room in the back that still has some crates full of vinyl. this place must have gone up over night.

anyone know more?

I stayed at Hotel Gunia this past summer. It was great. Clean and inexpensive, and the couple that runs this small hotel are the nicest people in the world.

wayne,

i would love to see a map for chicago. i know that at this time there isn't a whole lot of content for a set of chicago maps, but there are a lot of superfuture places that have yet to be reviewed, and i have done my best to contribute reviews when i can. if there is the possibility of getting a chicago map started sometime in the future, i'm looking forward to helping out.

>> i was just curious as to what supermaps are currently being worked on. there has been talk about toronto, melbourne, singapore, la, and updated versions for tokyo...just looking for an update. thanks.

>> cities like new york and san francisco are among the best in the world for restaurants, bars and clubs, shops, art, and culture, but living in these cities comes with a price. what are your top cities to live in for your money (cost of living vs. things to do)?

>> i agree with TragicBliss. i have the "vyper" model by booq for my 15" powerbook, and its molded ballistic nylon material is extremely durable.

>> i'm moving to new york in december. i'll be living on rivington between allen and eldridge. i'm very familiar with the superfuture spots in the neighborhood, but i'm looking for advice on some of the essential, more boring things, like the best places for groceries, laundry, dry cleaning, cheap eats, happy hour specials, etc. any tips would be great. thanks.

>> i'm interested in vintage denim, primarily levi's, but really anything that is classic and at the level of quality and craftsmanship as old levi's. i know that there are a ton of posts on this site dealing with denim, but i am still unsure of what everything means when it comes to vintage denim. what exactly should i be asking/looking for (brands, years, etc.), what is the deal with reproductions in the tradition of levi's (i've especially read a lot about certain japanese brands), and where should i be looking (in nyc)?

i hope all of this makes sense. thanks.
