Anthony Marinos from Grind

Posted on March 29, 2013

 

I met Anthony Marinos at Grind (www.grindspaces.com) where he holds the position 'formerly known as Sales and Marketing'.  As soon as I walked into Grind, I instantly feel a great vibe of energy with big open space full of casual and yet stylish people working on their own projects.  Grind is a members-only workspace and community for anybody who dislikes the traditional office space and embrace the collaborative environment to connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs and professionals.  At Grind, there're many mantras that describe and define the culture of the community, one of Anthony's favorites has to be 'if today feels just like yesterday, something's wrong'.  This also reflects on Anthony's personal style.  'I've never understood why there has to be a 'work you' and a 'personal you.'

Visit to CEGO, Custom Shirt Maker in New York

Posted on March 25, 2013


 I spent an afternoon with Carl Goldberg from CEGO, a custom shirt maker in New York over for 25 years.  CEGO's shirts appear in many leading Broadway productions, network television shows, as well as being worn by many stylish New Yorkers.  I have tried on the different fit blocks and am very impressed with the fit (I am known to be extremely critical in terms of the fit).  The shirts are slim in the all the right places and yet not restrictive for movement (a very important aspect for my active lifestyle).  The shirts are all made in USA.

We think printing is something that most anyone can, (and should) learn about.”

Opened Sycamore Flower Shop & Bar, located in the leafy, quiet corner of Ditmas Park. Sycamore creates hand-tied bouquets and artisanal pottery during the day, and pours small-batch bourbons, microbrews, and barley wine at night. It also hosts live performances by local musicians. “We liked the idea of combining two businesses in one place, like Marlow and Sons in Williamsburg where there’s a little grocery shop up front and a dining space in the back… This is the perfect place for a boyfriend. If he’s not in a fight, he can come in for flowers. If he’s in a fight, he can come, talk to the bartender, realize he’s wrong and then get flowers.”
