Ed is a great story teller. And a funny guy. Check out his blog, catch a reading, or pick up one of his books – or do all three – and you’ll get sucked right in. (What book do you know has been blurbed by Junot Diaz, reviewed by Playboy mag and inspired this gem? …

Beeline Interview: Misha’s John Chao & Ashley Yao
Misha has been described as “musically delicious“, which is exactly what they are. Not only is their music beautiful – some of their songs (Weatherbee Acoustics) have that perfect edge for Fall – but John and Ashley are such beautiful humble souls, too. Name: Ashley Yao and John Chao Occupation: human clothes hangar and suit …
Beeline Interview: Artist Ernest Concepcion
Ernest is one of my favourite artists and I’m so happy he took time out of his busy Fall schedule to chat. His drawings/paintings always make me feel like I’m in the head of a little boy imagining war and anime, love and friendship – which is a good thing. That child-like quality plus the …
Beeline Interview: Neiko Designs’ Amanda Truong
Neiko Design bags are how I like to define New Yorkers: tough yet elegant, classic and timeless, classy and fashionable. Lucky us, we got to interview Amanda Truong, the woman behind the bag designs whose very hands stitch together each unique bag.

Beeline Interview: Stray Vintage’s Dan & Tara Glasser

Yes, I am one girl who is down!), or learn about foraging food tours in NYC parks (It’s completely safe, edible, and likely …
Beeline Interview: Eat Drink One Woman’s Ganda Suthivarakom
I first discovered Ganda’s blog, Eat Drink One Woman, when I was still living in Sunset Park. (She had me at pupusa–where to get it in the ‘hood.) She’s smart, witty, has a beautiful voice, (She was part of Cibo Matto! She sang with David Byrne! And is a super-talented musician in her own right–check …
Beeline Interview: The Diamond’s Dave & Alex Pollack
[Photo by James Turek from New York Magazine] Dave & Alex have something special. The Diamond. It’s the right mix of good beer, a chill environment, and unpretentious company. Conversations flow freely from behind the bar to those sitting around the bar to include even those playing shuffleboard. It feels seamless and open and never …
Beeline Interview: Andrew Stout
Andrew is this unassuming guy who totally schooled me in math. Math is what keeps your bank accounts secure and makes it less easy for people to steal your credit card numbers. Oh, and its also what keeps your cell phone lines (and those secret numbers) private. Through encryption and cryptology, your shit is safe. …
