Zabars and Movies

ZABARS is a well-known for old store in NYC that was also used in location for many movies such as “You’ve got mail” and “Sex and the City”

Recently I watched “Marriage Story” which was nominated for the Academy Award

A scene in the movie , I noticed a coffee mug with “ZABARS” name on it!

 ↓

It caught my attention in the blink of an eye

Cause I have got same one

Yeah

~I’m in the mood for watching some movies today~

映画を観るときは背景やインテリアや小物やファッションなどを見ています

映画の1スクリーンの中ではどんな短いショットでも小物までが計算されて配置されている とどこかで聞いてから 大道具さんや小道具さん裏方さんたちのこだわりをこうして見つけるのも楽しいのです

NYPL limited-edition Library card

The New York Public Library-NYPL- celebrates 125 Years!

I got this “Limited-edition Library card” that is a charming illustration printed on the face featuring “The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats

The Snowy Day is the most borrowed book since 1895 when NYPL was founded

In addition it was a winner of the Caldecott Medal which was awarded as the most distinguished American picture book 

This is my own regular library card

And

the NYPL is one of my favorites place in NY

記念の年の期間限定グッズ・・と聞いても自分の思い入れのないモノだったら要らない派ですが 思い出のある場所なので作ってみました

Presidents’ Day

Today is Presidents’ day and also known as Washington’s Birthday

We saw a huge flag hanging on the George Washington Bridge which is a famous and beautiful landmark between New York and New Jersey across the Hudson river

And this American flag is the world’s largest free-flying flag that appears on a few federal holiday

This pic is a romantic time at dusk which I took before

You can also walk on the sidewalk on the bridge if you are not afraid of heights

こんな大きな旗 見たのは初めてで

これが飾られる数少ないアメリカの祝日でも この旗の大きさや200キロというその重さを設置するにあたり ”天候や風の強さなど一定条件がそろわないと飾られない”とのことで見れてラッキーな日でした

色々浮かんだ中でも 変化では変の字が気になり 挑戦では戦うの字がひっかかり 日本語はほんと難しいです 見て下さった方々はどんな言葉を選ぶのかな~
