I’m in the back of a car headed to play 18, lacking inspiration but committed to getting this out for the patrons of Outpost (notice the name change).
Need: Vitsoe 606 Shelving System
Y’all mind if I talk about shelves?
Over the years I’ve opted to buy a hardcover of any book instead of using my library card. Not economical but has resulted in a pretty solid collection of books (Sneaky tip if you live in New York: get a New York ID. It gets you access to museums and a free library card and crazy benefits.)
Anyway, back to shelves. I’m trying to wrap one end of my apartment in a gallery wall and the other in books. After a bit of research, I think I’ve got to go with Vitsoe.
In 1959, German architect Dieter Rams set out to create a flexible wall-mounted storage system. The result was the Vitsoe 606—a shelving system that’s become timeless, with a cult following among the Architectural Digest crowd.

Ate: Eastern European
Fall is here. I honestly don’t like sports bars—which is probably pretentious or unmasculine, but also probably not a surprise. What I do like: biergartens and Eastern European food.
Here are three lesser known spots worth checking out:
-
Heidelberg
Ate here on Friday—place rocks. They’ve got six different schnitzels and six different sausage platters.
-
Karczma
Walked past this place yesterday and need to go back. It looks money, and an obscure Reddit post confirms it’s the spot for Polish food.
-
Cafe d’Alsace
Also on the UES. Traditionally French, but specifically Northern French—think grilled sausages and sauerkraut with spicy mustard, alongside a banging steak frites.
That’s all for today, folks. Didn’t have my fastball, but I also didn’t vomit in the back of my friend’s car, so we’ll chalk it up as a win. Back next week with the good stuff.
