Compliments of Mr. Porter's Members

There is no elegance without preparation.  A few gallant Misters ride against normal societal expectations and represent a superlative nature.

“It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed."

“Don't underestimate good tailoring."

Tobacciana

In the environs of West Broadway and Spring there is a sanctuary that goes by a warm, inviting name OK-Cigars. It is not just about the cigars but valuing an archaic culture, when it was normal to sit down and make friends with the person next to you.  I shared a smoke with a few of the amicable patrons and received a brief history lesson of the tobacciana and its neighboring art gallery.

It is an attitude that renders a refreshing take on the enjoyment of one's day seeing these gentlemen on a Tuesday afternoon gathered nonchalantly around a steel staircase smiling, laughing and sharing stories. Many leagues away from the hype of self fortification of alcohol at 2:00am on a Saturday that defies too many people's social lives.

Sincerely Yours,

Cigars Open

Late afternoon on Elizabeth Street Mr. Porter caught my eye and now he has yours. 

His New York

It is a sight often over looked by too many people. Maybe for the reason that the slower one walks in New York the more money one loses, something tourist have not grasped yet.  So, take the blinders off and lose the iPods when in the streets. 

Omar defies the rakish look and unfettered way; alone, smoking an unfiltered cigarette on the sidewalk of 21st and 6th just after a thunderstorm. Omar could have cares, concerns, responsibilities, ten children and his business going bankrupt but one would never know it.  I for certain am seeing less and less of this demeanor in this fair city and wish the elegance, and mystery would return.
