When I was in San Diego on vacation this past summer, my friend and I would often pass this stunning mural that adorns the front of an apartment building in her neighborhood.

Saturday night was a big night of firsts for me: not only did I come upon this amazing Bugs Bunny mural by Jerkface for the first time (it’s been up since 2020), but I had my first Oh K Dog — a hotdog with cheese deep fried in a crispy rice batter — so delish! Check them both out on Ludlow Street just below Orchard!

The annual Five Points Festival Designer Toy and Comic Show is coming up this weekend, June 1st and 2nd, and I am very excited to be attending for my second year! Coincidentally, I happened to walk by the above mural, located on Allen Street, a few weeks ago, unaware that it was originally created to honor the first-ever Five Points Fest, back in May of 2017. Apparently, the owners of the Allen Hotel reactivated a relationship with the Little Italy Street Art (LISA) Project to bring street artist KaNO to the corner of Allen and Rivington Street, and this 40-foot mural was the result! Sweet!
