"It's Time on 7th" -- Indefinite Transit, Episode 2
Anthony Pisano, a jazz singer and musician, had this sign made and put it in the window of his store-front home. The sign shows Pisano, playing a trumpet. "It's Time on 7th," is an ode to his E. 7th Street location, where has lived for the past 32 years. This episode is about the adoptive grandfather of the East Village -- at 80, he is still kickin' and hoping you'll pass by his home and take a look at his pots and pans.

"So So Incredibly Beautiful," Indefinite Transit -- Episode 1.
The So So Incredibly Beautiful Gallery is an unconventional art space. Probably because it's perched up high on the 42nd Floor of the Sky House on 11 E 29th Street in between Madison & 5th Avenue in Manhattan's Flatiron district, an unlikely place for an art gallery -- Or, most likely because it is the same place where Artist Agent and Manager, Susi Kenna, sleeps, eats, and breathes. Yes. She is bathed every night, in neon light, emitted by glowing sculptures and other pop-art offerings from the creative minds of Cuban-American artists Carlos Charlie Perez and Julio Cesar Gonzalez. Susi let these two artists take over her apartment for six months, transforming it into a live-in art space. With 360 views of Manhattan's city skyline, we think it's the perfect place to see this neon in action, and Susi's the perfect girl to bring it all together.
Here is the story. Take a look.
