NY, I heart U

Zara says "Hello, New York", but tonight I'm saying Goodbye.

So I was just out with some friends and we kept talking about the fact that it was my "last dinner"; suddenly my friend Tyler said that it sounded as if I were dying. 

Actually, somehow, that´s how leaving New York feels like. Something is definitely dying...

So I guess this is goodbye. NY, I heart U.

Whoa! Nellie! [770 Montauk Highway, Montauk, NY]



























Merry Christmas Summer! es el lema de Whoa! Nellie!, la tienda con más encanto de Montauk. Honestamente, no sabría decir nada de su diseño, ya que la tienda es básicamente una aglomeración de productos vintage y reproducciones; pero lo que si me parece interesante es su historia.

 La dueña del local, Ms. Seaton, era una azafata de vuelo que dejó de viajar más o menos alrededor del 11S. Cuando comenzó a pensar a que dedicar su vida a partir de entonces, decidió que la mejor idea era crear esta tienda donde exponer/vender todo lo que había recolectado durante sus muchos viajes.

Ahora sigue viajando para seguir llenando Whoa! Nellie! de los mejores productos, y como ella misma dice: todo el mundo sale del lugar un poco más feliz que cuando entró en él.

Merry Christmas Summer! It is the motto of Whoa! Nellie!, the most charming store in Montauk. Honestly, I don´t know what to say about its design, since the store is basically an agglomeration of vintage products and reproduction; but what I find incredibly interesting is its history.

Its owner, Ms. Seaton, was a flight attendant who stopped traveling around the 9/11. When she began to think what to do thereafter, she decided the best idea was to create this shop where expose/sell all what she had collected during her many trips.

Now she continues traveling to keep filling Whoa! Nellie! with the best products, and as she says: everyone leaves the store happier than they come in.





















WOW! They really have a lot of stuff...
