Kaiju Mural @ Ichibantei NYC

The other day I had gone into the city to meet a friend who was here on a visit for a quick catch up. After a tasty drink at McSorley’s and a whole lot of chit chat, we hit some of the music history spaces that I like to show visitors and then made our way back to where she needed to be for the trip home. As we walked we saw this super cool mural on the side of the Ichibantei Japanese Restaurant and since it showcased a couple of Kaiju preparing for battle, I knew that I had to snap a photo of it to use here or on one of our social networks. Isn’t it cool? I think so.

Ichibantei Restaurant Kaiju Mural in NYC

As you can see there is some resemblance to both Godzilla and Gamera in the mural but its not dead on. I guess that was done to avoid any sort of copyright claims to the artwork. So sadly I didn’t get to try this restaurant that day but I hope to return at some point in the future so I can do a Yelp, check in on Swarm and loading up a bunch of photos to our Official Instagram. If any of you readers have been there already and wish to chime in down below and let us know what you think. I’d really appreciate it. See you next time.

A Temporary KISS for the LES

A few weeks ago I lamented the loss of Nice Guy Eddie’s which was a favored space for a couple of beers and food when I was planning on hitting a show down in this part of the Lower East Side. They had a decent happy hour and were also known for this next visual which was emblazoned proudly on their side wall.

Sometimes The Message Is A Very Simple One :)

Am I wrong? I didn’t think so and when I chanced upon this mural and its very simple yet powerful statement I just wanted to share it with you all. It was located on 11th Street and First Avenue in NYC to my knowledge. I didn’t “map” myself as I was running a little late so snapped the shot and continued on my way. That happens sometimes in this grand metropolis.

That’s all I got right now so carry on my friends and have a wonderful everything.
