openers japan: cocktail culture

i was 2 months late in finishing this article, mainly because i was too lazy to translate the interviews from english to japanese [yu yamada of my tokyo office was kind enough to do that part for me!] – so here it is, episode 8 of my openers column – the cocktail!

the gist of this 2 part article is the history of the cocktail [which is very much a new york story] and concludes with interviews with 2 giants in NYC mixology: sam lipp of eleven madison park and gregory seider of minetta tavern which happen to be my 2 favorite places to drink classic and try new cocktails. seriously, if you're going to spend more than $10 bucks on a beverage, it better be absolutely perfect!

so thanks to sam and leo of 11 madison and seider of minetta tavern [the seider interview is part 2 next month]. also, if you really want an impressive and perfect meal with that drink, check out both restaurants. 11 madison's website is here. minetta tavern here. tell them matthew waldman of nooka sent you!

abb interview video: matthew waldman

the power of twitter: a few months ago i was monitoring "nooka" chatter on twitter and came across a thread from jabari johnson his wearing my designs, and i contacted him and got to know more about his incredible DC based network. andre is part of that network and he was kind enough to make an effort to come to nyc to interview me for his video magazine series.

the interview was conducted at our pop up show at den on 330 east 11th street 2 weeks ago. i was given the chance to showcase our new line of belts (the strip) and wallets (AO) as well as our fragrance. it's difficult for me to watch as i HATE the sound of my own voice, but doesn't everyone hate the sound of their own voice recorded? that said, i hope you enjoy it. remember, the pop up shop is open until august 16th, so check it out while you can! the frank nan designed interior is really impressive.

the video itself is enough of a plug for andre's skills, but seriously, check out his vimeo page [link below] and hire him for your videography needs, especially if you're in the DC area.
