A blog about all things fashion designer, including seeking art in daily life, appreciating great design, and discovering the pleasing nuances in the urban landscape. I also blog about architecture, interior design, contemporary art, accessories for the home, shopping in NYC, tips for looking good in layers, bargain finds, and my own private musings on the stop-start nature of the creative process.

it's march! 18 more days!
Three-Fruit Smoothie and a DD Latte! All in one day. I figured, why not. It's my birth month :-) I got banana-papaya-blueberry. The price for a 16 ounce went up a whole buck. Oh well.

But seriously, does anyone know of a fruit cart where the 16 oz. shakes are still $3? Because I don't. And I've checked a lot of carts.

I found two carts that still charge $3. Oh happy day! One I found on Yelp yesterday, checked it out today, and sure enough, all they said about it was 100% right on. Yes, they make you chug-a-lug some of the shake right there and then, so they can give you more. That turned rather strange. The lady wound up yelling at me, "Just drink some! Just drink some!" And I was yelling back, "Please could I have a straw?" There was a giant cement mixer nearby, making it hard for anyone to hear, I'll give her that. But the straw was definitely not part of their super-weird formula. They kept making too much for everyone, requiring each person to chug it on the spot and hand it back. I should have chugged more. I don't think I'll go back. Too much stress in a NYC line. That one was on 47th between Park Avenue and Vanderbilt. I got the Dawn Shake: banana-mango-blueberry-strawberry. I don't think they let you customize fruit combos.
The second one, where you can get any three fruits, is my last summer old standby, on 46th between Fifth & Sixth Avenues. He is the same owner of the cart that raised their price to $4 (on the corner of 44th & Sixth Avenue), so I figured he raised his price too. But no! Thankfully I checked today. I am going to guzzle these shakes at 3 bucks each while I can. In moderation. Even though "guzzle" doesn't suggest moderation. But I'll be moderate. It's not like I upgrade to the 20 ounce or anything.
