Soho Street Art

The non-stop snow and freezing temperatures in New York City have managed to dull my spirits a bit. I am usually out and about, finding new things to do. But, lately all I want to do is stay inside (in bed under the covers) with a warm cup of coffee. I find myself dreaming of warmer weather (even 40 degrees would be nice). But when dreaming of sunny weather fails, I need a little inspiration.

This Sunday I put on my scarf, hat, and gloves and braved the icy weather for some coffee and a little good old fashioned NYC exploration with my friend Shannon. After a cortado and warm peanut butter cookie at Happy Bones coffee shop, Shannon and I took to the streets of Soho and Nolita in search of a little inspiration.

Here is what we found...

I find street art extremely fascinating. What was interesting was the more we walked, the more we found. It was everywhere. And, each piece of art was as intricate, if not more detailed, as the one before it. With different images and color palettes they each told a different story. Although it may be impossible to predict what the artist was really thinking it was fun to engage with their work.

Photocred to the incredible Shannon!
