This past weekend I went to Washington DC for the first time. I attended the Inauguration of President Obama, tried to see as much art and memorials as possible and even had time to find the only vegan bakery in DC, Sticky Fingers.

“This year, at the Venice Biennale, Swiss artist Julian Charriere and German-born Julius von Bismarck, who was the first artist in residence at CERN, executed a project called (in a nod to Orwell) “Some Pigeons Are More Equal Than Others” whereby they spray-painted pigeons and released them in the city.”

“Lunch Hour NYC” an exhibition at The New York Public Library is supposedly a must see. Even though it is a small sample of the theme in American culture, it is a conversation worth having. Helps us New Yorkers take a break and think about our everyday.

After all of this Mormon talk at the RNC this is an interesting graphic to compare religions and wealth.

Thought this quote was especially interesting!

“For example, Mormons, who are smack dab at the national average in terms of income, are perhaps the most giving—the IRS reports that a majority of Mormons give 7.5% of their incomes. Hindu and Jewish Americans, two of the wealthiest demographics, are also extremely charitable. In some forms of Islam, giving is an expected part of faith—though according to some reports, Bush-era policies intended to stymie donations to “terrorist groups” abroad are stifling Muslim Americans’ high rate of philanthropic giving. According to some statistics, Catholics tend to give less. Other lower-income groups, like Jehovah’s Witnesses, reportedly give by way of community involvement.”

This weekend I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see

“Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” (http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2012/impossible-conversations) it was a very well curated exhibition that showed innovative fashion design from women in an era where women were not dominant in the work place. The impossible conversation was the solid thread and worked as a guide throughout the exhibition. While at the MET my friend Sarah and I went to the roof for some sunset cocktails and to see the beautiful installation called Cloud City by Tomás Saraceno. It was a pretty spectacular evening!

Yesterday was Googa Mooga in Prospect Park and thanks to some amazing friends who passed on their tickets we got to go to this unbelievable food festival. Julian and I were like kids in a candy store and couldn’t wait to try the amazing food- which included a burger from The Spotted Pig, a Sausage from Char No. 4, these amazing chinese inspired chicken wings, a (small) pizza from Robertas with chile oil and honey, brisket taco from Hill Country BBQ and some amazing local beers. Our list was like the list from the Very Hungry Caterpillar book but it was worth the stomach ache and the trips to the gym everyday this week! :)
