			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeidysIntuition"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10360" title="IMG_0930" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/IMG_0930-211x300.jpg" alt="IMG 0930 211x300 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Leidy Castro " width="211" height="300" />Leidy Castro</a></strong> was born in Colombia and then moved to California several years ago. Leidy enjoys wine tasting, going to the beach, the beautiful views of the Bay Area, and learning about different cultures.</p>
<p>But aside from all this Leidy is also a true art lover who loves to paint, draw, and photograph people. Through <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeidysIntuition">LeidysIntuition</a>, she sells lovely women’s accessories for all occasions.</p>
<p><strong>:: Why and when did you started Leidys Intuition? </strong>I have to say that the idea of starting my own business came from my family and closest friends. I’ve always had a creative mind and a passion for the latest trends in fashion. Because of that, I used to create unique pieces to give away on special occasions to my loved ones and they were the ones that believed in me and pushed me to create what is today Leidy’s Intuition</p>
<p><strong>:: Where do you get your inspiration from? </strong>The truth is that I can get inspired by the smallest thing- even in a rainy day. Colors, textures, scents are all inspirational to me. I also like to keep up with fashion and therefore I like to glance at magazines and watch TV shows.</p>
<p><strong>:: Who is your ideal buyer? </strong>My ideal buyer will be anyone that appreciates all the love and hard work that I put into every piece that I make. I love when people admire my work and I am proud of delivering unique pieces to any type of buyer.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10361" title="01" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/01.jpg" alt="01 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Leidy Castro " width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p><strong>:: What is your favorite place in San Francisco? </strong>I love everything about San Francisco! But if I have to pick my favorite place that will be Pier 39. Pier 39 is where all the young talent meets. You can go and listen to music, enjoy the view and everything is really spectacular.</p>
<p><strong>:: Do you think San Francisco can still be considered the place-to-be for young creatives? </strong>San Francisco is and will always be the place-to-be for young creatives. Artists from all over the world come to San Francisco to be inspired by the city and to fulfill their dreams.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10362" title="02" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/02.jpg" alt="02 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Leidy Castro " width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p><strong>:: Where do you shop in San Francisco? </strong>Three places: Powell street, Union Square, and Powell street again!</p>
<p><strong>:: If I say Italy, you say&#8230;? </strong>Food, romance, and&#8230;fashion!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9162" title="Immagine 18" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Immagine-18-299x300.png" alt="Immagine 18 299x300 Today in New York: Kenneth Kudulis" width="299" height="300" />Kenny Kudulis</strong> grew up in Mobile, Alabama, a city that is nestled right on the Gulf of Mexico. He says that he has &#8220;always created or at the very least created a mess&#8221;, always wanting -ever since a kid &#8220;to paint and get my hands dirty.&#8221; After a degree in Theatre from the University of South Alabama, he realized really early that acting wasn&#8217;t his thing and thus switched to painting the sets and backdrops. And this thing -which Kenny loved- is exactly what brought him to New York in the first place.<br />
In the City Kenny landed a job at the Juilliard School, worked freelance in the Off Broadway scene and then finally decided to pursue his own art and develop his own creations. And that&#8217;s how the super funny world of the <a href="http://www.nuok.it/wp-admin/www.kudu-lah.com">Kudu-Lah</a> critters was born.</p>
<p><strong>:: Why and when did you started Kudu-Lah? </strong>I started <a href="http://www.nuok.it/wp-admin/www.kudulah.etsy.com">Kudu-Lah</a>about 3 years ago. I wanted to create something that was fun. Art you can snicker at. I started doodling these lil critters based on people I saw as I was riding the subway home late at night from work. They were really fun so I started painting them. I took photographs of where I had drawn them. One critter led to the next and now I have around 200 or so. I only use 16 right now but will add more in the future.</p>
<p><strong>:: Where do you find your inspiration?</strong> I love going to the American Museum of Natural History for inspiration! Also, just people watching down in Union Square Park. I get a lot of ideas from the people I met and observe.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9163" title="Immagine 19" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Immagine-19.png" alt="Immagine 19 Today in New York: Kenneth Kudulis" width="437" height="535" /></p>
<p><strong>:: Who is your ideal costumer?</strong> I love little kids who buy my stuff with their own allowance money. I think that is so cool because that child earned that money and they want to spend it on my lil critters. It&#8217;s really cool to know I&#8217;m am possibly starting a kids art collection!  I would say my ideal buyer is children from ages 3 to 12 and young people, 22-35.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9164" title="Immagine 20" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Immagine-20.png" alt="Immagine 20 Today in New York: Kenneth Kudulis" width="431" height="538" /></p>
<p><strong>:: What is your favorite spot in the City?</strong> I really love Union Square Park. I have sold there , on the street, for about the same amount of time kudu-lah has been around. I create critter paintings and prints and tourist and locals alike buy them. It is an amazing place. A spot that has fostered my creativity and has allowed me to grow as an artist and as a business person. It is a slice of the NYC dream.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9165" title="Immagine 15" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Immagine-15.png" alt="Immagine 15 Today in New York: Kenneth Kudulis" width="523" height="535" /></p>
<p>:: <strong>Do you think NYC can still be considered the place to be for young creatives?</strong> I hope so and totally believe so. NYC is hard , really hard sometimes but as the song goes if you can make it here you can make it anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>::Where do you shop in NYC? </strong>I like to go to Uniqlo and Urban Outfitters. There is a really sweet watch company called <a href="http://www.nooka.com/">Nooka</a> out of NYC that I really like.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9166" title="Immagine 16" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Immagine-16.png" alt="Immagine 16 Today in New York: Kenneth Kudulis" width="510" height="540" /></p>
<p><strong>:: If I say Italy, you say&#8230;?</strong> The place I am going to spend my one year anniversary with the wife this October! I love Italy! I went there my first year of college and that trip alone inspired me to be an artist.</p>

<strong>Vi trovate in zona Union Square e non sapete dove andare?</strong><br />
Fate attenzione, Manhattan ha ottimi ristoranti ma anche tante trappole per turisti.<br />
<strong>Ecco una lista dei 5 ristorantini dove si mangia bene e si spende il giusto.</strong></p>
<h3>1) Republic<br />
(37 Union Square W)</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.thinknoodles.com/">Questo moderno ristorante</a> propone cucina Tailandese e panasiatica. La qualità è buona e i prezzi decisamente stracciati. Particolarmente succulenti sono i Bento Box, ovvero un combo di specialità al prezzo di 12 dollari, ma se non siete troppo affamati basterà sicuramente una delle portate principali, noodles, riso in mille modi, pollo e molto altro dai 4 ai 10 dollari. Da provare anche le bevande, calde o fredde come il té allo zenzero e molte altre creative e dissetanti.</p>
<div id="attachment_10827" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 450px"><img class="size-full wp-image-10827" title="bento6" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bento6.jpg" alt="bento6 Top 5 dei ristoranti economici in zona Union Square!" width="440" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bento Boxes @ Republic</p></div>
<h3>2) Wawa Canteen (289 Mercer Street)</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.wawacanteen.com/">Ancora asiatico</a>. E&#8217; una delle mete preferite degli studenti NYU, il prezzo è conveniente e i tempi di attesa molto brevi. Si può scegliere tra varie noodle soups, riso con pollo, manzo, maiale, e alcune specialita&#8217; di cibo coreano. Attenzione alla scritta &#8220;spicy&#8221; che a Wawa Canteen significa piccantissimo!</p>
<h3>3) Marumi Restaurant (546 LaGuardia Pl)</h3>
<div id="attachment_10824" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-10824" title="sushi" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sushi.jpg" alt="sushi Top 5 dei ristoranti economici in zona Union Square!" width="300" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sushi and Sashimi</p></div>
<p>Vi piace la <a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/marumi/">cucina giapponese</a>, sushi, sashimi, pollo teriaki e tutte le altre prelibatezze nipponiche? Ecco uno dei pochi ristoranti a Manhattan che offre questo tipo di cucina a prezzi bassi. La qualità è ottima infatti Marumi è sempre pieno, ma non farete fatica a trovare un tavolino, il ricambio è veloce!</p>
<h3>4) Gusto Organic (519 Ave of the Americas @ 14th St)</h3>
<p>Siete in fase detox? Volete purificarvi da tutto il consumismo, lo shopping, gli hamburger e le patatine che avete mangiato? Allora recatevi da <a href="http://gustorganics.com/index.php">Gusto Organic</a>, ristorante biologico al 100%.<br />
Potrete gustare un&#8217;insalata con rucola e mango, o con spinaci e barbabietole&#8230; le combinazioni sono tante e gustosissime. Ma il ricco menù offre anche tacos, piadine (!!), panini e molto altro, tutto rigorosamente &#8220;organic&#8221;.</p>
<h3>5) Stand Burger (24 East 12th Streer)</h3>
<p>(Tra University Place e 5th Av). Se invece non potete rinunciare all&#8217;Hamburger, nessun  problema, c&#8217;è <a href="http://www.standburger.com/">Stand</a>. Oltre a vari antipasti, ali di pollo,  onion rings, ci sono vari tipi di panini con o senza bacon, con o senza formaggi&#8230; tutto sui 10 dollari. Non il miglior burger della città, ma sufficientemente buono ed economico.</p>
<p><strong>Enjoy!</strong><br />

<p><strong>Manette Belliveau</strong> is a native Californian, with a creative spirit that loves art, fashion, design, travel, coastal living and things found in nature.  She hand collects all of her sea glass and sea treasures, some of which are then transformed into <a href="http://www.newsprout.etsy.com">Newsprout&#8217;s jewels</a>.   During the week Manette manages a small non-profit agency, but in her spare time she is a true and ispiring artist who, in addition to making jewelry, paints, sketches and enjoys photography.</p>
<p>Her style is casual, fun, modern and hip. And her creations are sea treasure you&#8217;ll love to carry with.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9763" title="x8" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/x8.jpg" alt="x8 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Manette Belliveau " width="534" height="535" /></p>
<p><strong>:: Why and when did you start Newsprout?</strong> I opened newsprout in the spring of 2009 as a way to express my artistic side and share my creations with others.  I still get excited every time someone buys a piece.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9764" title="p8" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/p8.jpg" alt="p8 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Manette Belliveau " width="448" height="448" /></p>
<p>:<strong>: Where do you get your inspiration from? </strong> I love to travel and find that visiting new places and meeting new people and learning about other cultures is a major inspiration.  Around home I am inspired by the ocean, sound of the waves and my natural surroundings.Although I have no formal art training, I have always known in my heart that creating things was in my dna.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9765" title="h6" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/h6.jpg" alt="h6 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Manette Belliveau " width="467" height="468" /></p>

<p><strong>:: What is your favorite place in San Fran?</strong> The Golden Gate Bridge, with the view of the city skyline in the background and the fog rolling in.</p>
<p><strong>:: Do you think San Francisco still is the place to be for the hippy-bohemian tipes? </strong> Yes, however it has evolved over the years and is now more sophisticated and a little less bohemian, but is  still a cool hip hang-out with lots of artistic talent.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-9767" title="j97" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/j97-1024x1022.jpg" alt="j97 1024x1022 SANFRANSISCO   Today in San Francisco: Manette Belliveau " width="491" height="490" /></p>
<p><strong>:: Where do you shop in San Francisco? </strong> I love Union Square!  I grew up shopping there and still enjoy the atmosphere and feel of the square, mix of designer shops, boutiques, salons and department stores all close together in one place with an occasional cable car going by.</p>
<p><strong>:: San Francisco not-to-be-missed food places are&#8230;?</strong> <a href="http://www.zunicafe.com/">Zuni Café</a>, <a href="http://michaelmina.net/restaurant.php?restaurant_id=3">RN74 </a>and <a href="http://www.kuletos.com/">Kuleto’s</a>.</p>

Alla cassa!</strong> Ecco cosa troverete!</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2602 alignnone" title="coda" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/coda.jpg" alt="coda Fare la coda da Whole Foods di Union Square" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Prima di tutto: </strong>scegliete una fila. La riconsocete dai cartelli. Rossa, grigia, azzurra, ocra o verdina.</p>
<p><strong>Secondo:</strong> guardate lo schermo e controllate il vostro colore. Facciamo finta che siete in fila dove c&#8217;è il cartello ocra.</p>
<p><strong>Terzo:</strong> quando sarete primi della vostra fila, fate attenzione perchè toccherà presto a voi! E&#8217; apparso il numero 19?</p>
<p><strong>Andate alla cassa numero 19!</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1855 alignnone" title="Metronome" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Metronome.jpg" alt="Metronome Numeri e fumo bianco a Union Square" width="461" height="308" /></p>
<p>Quante volte siete passati da <strong>Union Square</strong> ed avete visto andare avanti quei numeri, mentre quel buco nero sulla destra continuava a sbuffare con fumo bianco denso? Si tratta di un&#8217;opera d&#8217;arte: <strong>Metronome</strong>. Gli autori sono Kristin Jones e Andrew Ginzel, e l&#8217;opera è composta da diverse sezioni, tra cui un buco vuoto circolare da cui sbuffi di vapore bianco vengono rilasciati durante la giornata, e l&#8217;orologio composto da led rossi che formano grandi cifre numeriche.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1856" title="Union_Square_Metronome_detail_(clock)" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Union_Square_Metronome_detail_clock-226x300.jpg" alt="Union Square Metronome detail clock 226x300 Numeri e fumo bianco a Union Square" width="226" height="300" /> <em>The Passage</em>, questo il nome dell&#8217;orologio, visualizza il tempo nel formato delle 24 ore. Le sette cifre più a sinistra mostrano l&#8217;ora: ora (2 cifre) | minuti (2 cifre) | secondi (2 cifre) | decimi di secondo (1 cifra). Le sette cifre più a destra invece visualizzano la quantità di tempo rimanente in una giornata di 24 ore, come decimi di secondo (1 cifra) | secondi (2 cifre) | minuti (2 cifre) | ore (2 cifre). La cifra centrale invece rappresenta i centesimi di secondo.</p>
<p>L&#8217;elemento centrale è un muro di mattoni, costruito a cerchi concentrici, che creano una sorta di onda. La parete sembra ondeggiare, come acqua dopo aver gettato un sasso. La foglia d&#8217;oro concentra l&#8217;attenzione vero il centro del lavoro, un&#8217;apertura scura che sbuffa vapore. A mezzogiorno ed a mezzanotte il buco erutta con un pennacchio di vapore enorme, accompagnato da un&#8217;esplosione di suoni. Sotto il buco, c&#8217;è un pezzo enorme di roccia, a significare i millenni della storia geologica. Accanto, passa un lungo cono di bronzo sottile, che attraversa la facciata in mattoni in diagonale: un indicatore di tempo che suggerisce prospettive.</p>
<p><img class="size-large wp-image-1857 alignnone" title="99A_Metronome_6_" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/99A_Metronome_6_-1024x734.jpg" alt="99A Metronome 6  1024x734 Numeri e fumo bianco a Union Square" width="491" height="352" /></p>
<p>Nella parte alta della facciata, spunta una mano di bronzo in bilico, in prospettiva perfetta verso la statua storica di George Washington di Union Square Park. Sulla facciata a destra c&#8217;è una sfera metallica, per metà oro e per metà nera, che si trasforma ogni giorno in sincronia con le fasi della luna. Quando la luna raggiunge la pienezza, la faccia diventa tutta d&#8217;oro e si rivela il globo. <strong>Metronome</strong> contempla il tempo geologica, solare, lunare, il giorno, le ore &#8211; e per un solo momento rivela le frazioni di secondo nella vita di New York, di un essere umano. <strong>Opera (per quanto discutibile dal punto di vista artistico) perfetta per una città così energetica, no?</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fare la spesa in un supermarket americano è un&#8217;esperienza che ha del favoloso.<br />
No wonders che <a href="http://www.ralphmag.org/whitman.html">Walt Whitman</a> ci girasse così sperduto e allampanato.</p>
<p>Ovunque uno guardi, trova una sfilza di prodotti misteriosi, confezionati in packaging coloratissimi e arzigogolati.</p>
<p>Le materie prime &#8211; di base- tipo pasta, pane e riso sono pressochè introvabili, ma, in compenso, c&#8217;è il riso con fagioli e maiale liofilizzato, la pasta col formaggio, il pane iperproteico.<br />
Il problema è che, per trovare qualcosa che fosse commestibile senza preoccuparsi delle conseguenze bio-organiche, un italiano abituato alla semplicità di colori e forme di un carrefour o di una coop ci mette ore.</p>
<p>Che dire poi delle surreali confezioni king size, del tipo 4 litri di succo di frutta ACE o 2 kili di cereali Kellog&#8217;s? Se mai uno decidesse di comprare quei mega pacchetti poi, per portare le buste di groceries a casa, dovrebbe contattare l&#8217;incredibile Hulk &#8211; no joke.</p>
<p>Poi certo, si trova anche qualche prodotto italiano, infilato negli scaffali dei cibi esotici, come da noi il riso basmati e la salsa di soja. E si vede però che sta un poì scomodo e che si chiede dove siano il parmigiano reggiano e il latte Granarolo.</p>
<p>Già perchè, anche se la filiale new york-ish di <a href="http://www.eataly.it/welcome_eng.lasso">Eataly</a> non ha ancora aperto (pare lo farà nel <a href="http://www.alwayshungryny.com/thought-for-food/entry/alwaysinformed-restaurants-in-eataly/">2010</a>), anche nei supermercatinipiù scrausi di Carroll Gardens vi capiterà di imbattervi nella pasta Garofalo e in quella Barilla, nell&#8217;olio Bertolli e nell&#8217;acqua Panna, intenti a cercare di mimetizzarsi in mezzo ai luccicosi prodotti <em>made in the usa</em>.<br />
Fate però attenzione perchè, spesso, anche se i prodotti sono formalmente italiani, sono in realtà prodotti sul suolo americano e quindi le tecniche di lavorazione cambiano. Per cui, leggete sempre bene le etichette e cercate i &#8220;products of italy&#8221; tra gli scaffali del vostro supermercato di fiducia.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-497" src="http://www.nuok.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/16tuna-300x199.jpg" alt="16tuna 300x199 Groceries shopping in New York" width="300" height="199" title="Groceries shopping in New York" /></p>
<p>E se, nei vostri giorni newyorkesi, deciderete di optare per una dieta che non sia all&#8217;insegna del junk food e dei cibi imbottiti di proteine, vitamine e ormoni, provate a fare un tour da <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/">Whole Foods</a> e <a href="http://www.thefoodemporium.com/">Food Emporium</a>.</p>
<p>Come supermercati costano un pochino più degli altri, ma almeno lì avrete la sicurezza di mangiare roba buona e che non vi faccia crescere troppi peli. E poi sono aperti fino alle 10 pm e strategicamente collocati vicino alle entrate della metro (il Whole Foods in <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/unionsquare/">Union Square</a> e quello in <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/bowery/">Bowery</a> sono raggiungibilissimi anche da Brooklyn, rispettivamente con la <a href="http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/rline.htm">R/N </a> e con la <a href="http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/fline.htm">F</a>).</p>
<p>Tra l&#8217;altro hanno entrambi una zona di bakery (buonissimi i muffins alla zucca di Whole Foods), una di self service, dove potrete comprare piatti freddi e caldi -vanno a peso, non a scatola per cui: occhio!- e persino una sezione sushi, dove con 10$ vi portate a casa 8 rolls con tonno e avocado.</p>
<p>Per ora WF e FE sono solo a Manhattan, quindi se abitate a Brooklyn e  l&#8217;idea di fare una corsa in treno carichi di buste 100% recycled paper non vi entusiasma, potete optare per <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/">Trader&#8217;s Joe</a> e la <a href="http://www.foodcoop.com/">Park Slope Food Coop</a>.</p>
<p>Lì bisogna diventare membri e fare dei turni come shop assistant, ma -con un po&#8217; di fortuna- potreste finire a sistemare formaggi sugli scaffali con <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Grenier">Adrian Grenier</a>, un habituée della Coop di Park Slope.</p>
<p>Eh sì, perchè a New York il celebrity watching si fa anche durante il groceries shopping.</p>
