Artifact Coffee

The owners of one of my favorite restaurants, Woodberry Kitchen have opened a coffee shop called Artifact which is right up the street.

Before flying out for summer vacation, I met Nelle at Artifact for a coffee date. She carried her Grandmother's Nantucket Basket in honor of my trip.

 

Artifact has the same farm-to-table philosophy as big brother Woodberry Kitchen.

They serve pellet ice, which is the Rolls Royce of ice as far as I am concerned.

 

I would call the vibe/atmosphere green & relaxed.

They carry an array of homemade pastries (even gluten free) in addition to breakfast sandwiches and lunch items.

Artifact offers coffee cuppings on Fridays, which allows you to sample different blends.

Just look for the "A" at Union Mill when you pay Artifact a visit.

The Avett Brothers

Two weekends ago we saw The Avett Brothers at Pier Six in Baltimore. It was a great show made even better by the venue. Not only is Pier Six super convient it's located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor right on the water so the views are picturesque.

 

They closed with I and Love and You. Are you a fan of The Avett Brothers?

City Cloud

In July we saw Tomás Saraceno's roof sculpture: Cloud City at the Met. The views from the roof of the museum are pretty spectacular on their own but even cooler when you are viewing them through Tomás Saraceno's reflective and transparent structure.

You become part of the installation and can even walk through the modular structure.

EAS & JCW

The exhibit runs through November 4, 2012. I am sure it will be even more beautiful when the leaves start to change in the park.  There is no additional charge to view City Cloud but make sure you put your name on the list to actually enter the structure before heading to the roof.

Wyclef Jean

I heard Wyclef Jean speak last night. He has a new book out called out called Purpose.

 

He even performed a little of Gone Till November and 911. He was very funny and totally down to earth.

 

 

Do you have a favorite Wyclef Song? Does one of his songs bring you back to a certain moment in time?
