    Haircut in the City

    One of my early memories of New York City was a special (Insomniac?) about a place in NY where you can get your hair cut in the middle of the night. How cool is that? I've come to realize that the label "City that never sleeps" refers to the immense amount of late night activities which are available. Like other cities though, most parts of it shut down during off-peak hours.

    In the photo, there on the second floor is Insitu Salon, the place where I get my hair cut. After years of struggling with bad haircuts and avoiding the barber, I finally found a place where I feel like it gets done right. Kim, my stylist, does a great job of considering my hair to be a part of my look, instead of giving me the same haircut the last 200 guys got. It's one of the few areas where I splurge, and I enjoy every minute of it. Like most New Yorkers, Kim is ambitious and involved in many things. Take her ice cream company for example.

    I thought you'd never update!

    I think having your hair cut in the middle of the night is better than having it cut in daytime. You get sort of a haircut hangover when you wake up.

    Haha! Haircut hangover is a good description too, when you have a mohawk on one side.

    I just uploaded about 40 photos from recent excursions and hope to have regular updates again for a couple weeks. New York keeps you busy! (which is a good thing)

    I always got my best haircuts from old men who smelled like Old Spice. Salons are overrated - barbershops are where it's at.
