In this podcast, Nora returns from a trip to New York with some trend observations from the Big Apple. She noted the huge numbers of tourists from all over the world.  She and Cathi also talked about the gentrification of the lower east side, most particularly with the New Museum of Contemporary Art and a Whole Foods on the Bowery, which made Cathi wonder whether NYC is turning into a theme park.

Nora also fell in love with the Muji store, and, being a good, earnest Canadian, visited the Tenement Museum.  Among the trends she spotted on the Lower East Side was an aesthetic that reminded her of steampunk.  Is this something we’ll see more of in 2008?
