Continuum Bicycles

Jeff Underwood the owner of Continuum Cycles on Avenue B between 12th and 13th Street opened shop about 7 years ago.
Now there is also a recent addition of a cafe next door ( serious coffee my friends....) and who knows what's next.
He has his own line of bikes and if you are interested about the details, just check his website.
But they also repair any old bike and are super nice and welcoming, no snobbery ever.
I just loved to hang out in here, reminds me of my Grandpa who had a bicycle shop in Germany.......

Eugene

I've known Eugene Welsh for a long time and we finally got around to do some portraits.
Eugene is an amazing jewelry maker. His beaded and chain linked dresses, and head and neck pieces are incredible: unique and beautiful.

Ink on A

Ink on A, one of my favorite magazine shops, is a mainstay on Avenue A in the East Village for 20 years.
Ben Dahud, the owner of Ink, came to New York from Israel originally to work as a chef.

He worked for a number of years at Cafe Mogador before partnering up with one of his
colleagues there to open a Restaurant as well as a Magazine Shop.

Now Ben is the sole owner of Ink, happy to be there after all this time and  enjoying hanging out in his own store.

The store stocks any magazine that you can imagine, the selection is huge and

they get all the British ones before anybody else, important for all the music and fashion
aficionados.......
