Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit NYC for the first time thanks to DC Shoes.

Myself and a handful of other shop owners from across Canada and the US were invited to  view and offer input on their upcoming core skate line on Saturday.

After that, it was our time to explore, skate the new LES Park and of course sample some of the amazing food the city has to offer.

Katz’s Deli – pig out!

Next day we headed across the river to Newark NJ to check out the Street League finals.

Field Trip!

It was a really rad experience. Especially watching from a fully stocked luxury suite.

That night was our farewell dinner at a typical super cool New York bistro. I think it was in Soho. Or was it Noho? Maybe Tribecca? Greenwich? I dunno.. but it was delicious!
