NICK’S LUNCHBOX

ART

For over 3 years Nick has posted his daily art on Tumblr and his website, Enjoy the unique views of our city,

4.3.22 Lunchtime drawing: King’s Halal Food has been setting up on Gansevoort Street since the Whitney Museum opened in 2017 (left). The Veggie Juices cart first eta up yesterday (right). We’re all under the High Line today staying out of the rain.

This month I’m highlighting food carts periodically via my daily drawing project, a theme chosen by my Patreon members (Join me!!!) Also, check out the Street Vendor Project fighting to create just working conditions for street vendors in NYC.

4.2.22 Lunchtime drawing: Kicking off this month’s drawing theme, “Street Vendor Food carts”, with a favorite, NY Dosas in Washington Square Park! There’s even my drawing on the cart.

Food carts will be a thread through April’s drawings, and the topic was voted on by my Patreon members. Check out my story to see what the options were—and join me on Patreon so you can vote next month! Patreon.com/nickgolebiewski or link in bio.

Open to all though, what are your favorite NYC food carts and trucks?

4.1.22 Lunchtime drawing: The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Morningside Heights (Columbia University’s neighborhood if you’re not familiar) is still unfinished! Construction started on this Episcopal Church back in 1892. I remember seeing a live pipe organ performance to a film projected by Rooftop Films here so many years back, participating in a “blessing of the bikes”, and have always loved their connection to the arts.-Apr 01, 2022 01:06 pm on Tumblr

3.31.22 Lunchtime drawing: Word Bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn! Independently owned and in business since 2007 (they also have a spot in Jersey City.)This sketch closes out the month’s “Independent Bookstores of Brooklyn” theme voted on by my Patreon members. Join at any level and vote for April’s theme for this drawing-a-day project at patreon.com/nickgolebiewski-Mar 31, 2022 03:23 pm on Tumblr

3.30.22 Lunchtime drawing: Last week I drew some magnolia blossoms, and then there was a below-freezing snap in the weather, and they all froze and became these wilted things.-Mar 30, 2022 01:12 pm on Tumblr

3.29.22 Lunchtime drawing: Yi Ji Shi Mo Noodle Corp on Elizabeth Street at closing time (if only I arrived a few minutes earlier!) They’re known for their stone mill rice rolls and opened here in Chinatown in 2019.-Mar 29, 2022 05:35 pm on Tumblr
