Street Art: Greetings from Sea Bright
Greetings, Sea Bright, New Jersey, USA
This beautiful old style postcard mural by artist Jim Kovic is on the corner of Ocean and Peninsula Avenues in Sea Bright, NJ. Sea Bright is a cute little seaside town with a beautiful beach. It was hit very hard by hurricane Sandy in 2012 but got nicely back on it's feet. Worth a visit!

I saw this truck while having brunch at one of my favorite East Village spots - Cafe Orlin on St. Marks Place (and 2nd Avenue). You can choose anything from there breakfast/brunch menu and won't be disappointed. Guaranteed.

Street Art: Ram
Ram, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY, USA
Williamsburg is one of the best places to visit for a variety of Street Art. I didn't get the details of this piece on the outside (door) of a restaurant but I love the vibrant colors.

Street Art: Lazy Day at the Beach...
Lazy Day at the Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey, USA
I spotted this birdie on the bay side of one of Sandy Hook's fantastic beaches. The 7-mile stretch of ocean and beaches are about an hour's ferry ride from Manhattan. Definitely worth a visit!

Street Art: Bar Nana
Bar Nana, Chelsea, New York City, USA
Interesting street art on Bar Nana's entrance on Gansevoort Street, Manhattan. The style inside the club, which combines South American and French influences, is worlds away from the entrance.

Street Art: Old Woman
Old Woman, Bowery & Spring, New York City, USA
190 Bowery is an interesting building. The Germania bank was built around 1890 and has been a graffiti and street art covered private residence for years. It's just been sold and will probably be turned into condos in the near future. The graffiti and street art on this building are incredible - especially if you move in close and focus on detail, like this old women's face.

Street Art: Watertank Project
The Watertank Project, Chelsea, New York City, USA
Art is wrapped around NYC watertanks to foster environmental awareness and social advocacy. A beautiful idea! These two tanks can be seen from the High Line in Chelsea (around 29th Street and 10th Avenue). There are a few more around the city and hopefully many more to come.

Street Art: Skeleton Bench
Pink Bench, Brooklyn, NY, USA
I came across this captivating bench in Dumbo, Brooklyn, a few years ago. I was on my way to Brooklyn Bridge Park for some sun and relaxation. If you're into beautiful gardens and fantastic city views, this is the place to be. Great for people watching too. Public art plays a big part in the park, there's always something of interest to see.
