Niki poses with her Cheez-It portrait. Yes, that's right. Cheez-It made a portrait of her. Out of Cheez-Its. Any takers?

Our friend Stella Parks (a.k.a. Bravetart) paid a visit to New York with her husband John just in time for our first snow of spring. To fight off the cold, Max and Daniel took them and Ed on a crawl of their home turf in Jackson Heights for some Tibetan food and cemitas. Like John's chicken hat? You can pick one up on Roosevelt Avenue for 10 bucks.

Turns out, it's really exciting to watch caramel sauce drip out of a jar slowly on a macro lens.
