Unis operations manager, Daniel Armitage, moonlights as a fucking rockstar.  No joke —- his band Sun Airway was recently invited to play at the sold-out Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.  Here are some pics from the trip, the performance, and the festival aftermath. 

Listen to their new single, “Symphony in White No. 2” HERE

Cafe Habana is nothing short of a life force in Nolita.  Their famous grilled corn draws daily crowds, filling up the sit-down restaurant and the take out cafe the next door over.  Also a treat is their award-winning Cuban Sandwich, a delectable mix of fresh pork, ham, cheese, and pickle.  But there is a humble little underdog on the menu —- a sandwich often overlooked by the Cafe’s bigger players.  Its name: the Avocado & White Cheese.  Pressed between two crusty pieces of white bread, red onion and black beans interplay with creamy avocado and generous slabs of white cheese.  The result is a better-than-crack sandwich experience: complex yet subtle, comforting but refreshing, and every bit delicious.
