    Hello from Canadian fan. Even been to Pioneer Creek. :) I enjoy your video and recently changed the plastic soap dispenser into a glass one, and took the label off the mouth wash. Looking for a fancy decanter for the mouthwash now and crystal shot cup to go with it for mouth wash. lol I'm a thrift shopper like you. Beauty is more in the mind than in the wallet.

    Hi Rajiv..I am native New Yorker who retired to Cape Cod in 2007. My friends opened the Cupping Room Cafe , first restaurant in Soho in 1977. We all thought they were crazy because the streets were deserted save for the artists who found lofts to live in. At that time, I was studying sumi -e- in Sohowith a Japanese artist called Koho. No one was around so I was a little nervous about walking the streets from the subway at night. We met in a small room & she served us jasmine tea form her teapot. I remember she had a dying bamboo plant. She called her studio...Koho of Soho. I also drew the model in a basement on Greene St. No bell...you needed a code to open the door for entry. There must have been 40 of us crammed into the dark, basement w a light only on the model. The owner charged 25 cents terrible coffee in a chipped cup. Soho was a special place before gentrification. I lived in a one bedroom rent controlled apt near Grammercy Park...rent $60 a month. I received my BA and MS at Hunter College for free. Those were the good old days in NYC till the early 90's. Pearl Paint on Canal St. had 5 floors of art supplies. Perhaps it was gone by the time you moved to the city. Best that you give tours for NYC is a different city now. Kudos to you for still finding gems.
