spotted in the city: is that vodka in there? +WANTing those shoes

September 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment



Slurp and step. Do you guys remember the Honey Deuce Grey Goose specialty drinks from a couple of years ago? Well, we do (so thirsty!) and they’re still serving up the delicious gems at the GG outposts around the ground. Too bad this just-outside-the-fence giant cup wasn’t full of vodka. We would have gladly parked there for the day and stuck to the practice courts. And: How much do we love these New Balance shoes? They’ve been done in collaboration with Polo Ralph Lauren for the officials at the Open, and though some of us at TSF are so-so on the many bright colors on site this year, we LOVE this option. What’s that? You want our sizes? Gladly…

Shop: Both the men’s and women’s shoes are available online for $99.99 on New Balance’s site.

spotted in the city: uniqlo's high line skating

August 26, 2011 By 1 Comment



High riding: There is no question that the High Line park in NYC is the best thing to happen to the city since … well, Shake Shack? Anyway. The park that stretches from the Meatpacking District up into the heart of Chelsea expanded this year, growing from 20th to 30th street. There are new ways to enjoy being among taller people, third-floor buildings and the level that busses drive out of the Port Authority at. Ahhh. City life!

But what caught my eye on a recent visit was the skating rink that Uniqlo has teamed up with the park to put up for the summer. Admission is only $10, includes a pair of vintage, orange-wheeled skates and gets you a night of skate skating to the likes of Lady Gaga and Jay-Z. The rink is open through Sept. 26.

spotted in the city: paragon's uso prep

August 26, 2011 By 1 Comment



Pardon the glare: One of NYC’s premiere sports shops, Paragon, is all decked out for the Open — Union Square style. In their maze of a store, the tennis sway is right when you walk in the front door off of Broadway. What they still have? There’s a couple of those oh-so-beautiful HEAD racquet bags from Murray’s Wimbledon (sans the fan notes) ready for pick up. And from what we’ve heard, they’ve been a hot item and will be virtually impossible to find once they sell out.

spotted in the city: summer streets

August 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment



Plastic makes perfect (and colorful) poles: A nice diversion on my way to yoga today were these incredibly colorful poles, wrapped for the second of three Saturday’s of New York City’s “Summer Streets.” The health and wellness program is being put on by the City of NYC with partnerships — today’s including Women’s Health magazine. The initiative gets New Yorkers out on the streets for running, walking and biking the first three August Saturdays this summer. For specific routes and schedules, check here.

Urban wellness? We dig it.

spotted in the city: nyc water and the next v&s combo

July 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment



Summer sightings: A couple weeks ago I happened through Union Square in Manhattan and loved the sight of this: an NYC Water trough of sorts. The multi-faucet fountain is part of the city’s Water-On-the-Go program, which offers any NYC public event that lasts over four hours and has an estimated attendance of 500 people. Hydrated urban folks during a summer of sweltering heat? We dig that.

Below: We were also digging these two ball girls at a recent WTT event that must have been on a break cycle. The two gals were smacking the ball with quite oomph, and there were a couple rather savvy net plays that had us thinking: Are these the next Venus and Serena?
