Gerry Cosby was immersed in the sportsworld for most of his life. He began his career as an athlete on the New York Rovers hockey team. His numerous accomplishments include being the world champion goalie for the U.S. in 1930 (a non-Olympic year), belonging to both the Inter-national and U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, and being invited to join the U.S. Olympic team in 1936, although he was unable to accept due to a business commitment.

The shop — a hop, skip and jump from Madison Square Garden — is renowned for its development of sporting equipment, with many of Gerry’s original innovations widely used today. His focus was initially on improving ice-hockey equipment, including redesigning jerseys to fit more comfortably, making hockey helmets more adjustable, adding more protection, and introducing Velcro straps to hockey pads. He also designed a line of football shoulder pads that are still used widely by players at all levels.

Now run by Cosby’s son, Michael, the store prides itself on its willingness to customize any jersey, sweatshirt or marathon t-shirt, while continuing to uphold its legacy of selling, creating, and customizing excellent sporting equipment.

Yeohlee Teng 1 Women's Clothing undefined

Yeohlee Teng

In 1997, Yeohlee Teng debuted her “Urban Nomad” collection. Now, she has opened a store in the NoMad neighborhood. “I felt like I was going home, ” she said of the location. And what a home she has created! Yeohlee arrived from Malaysia over thirty years ago and is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design. Today, she is a renowned fashionista, having had her work exhibited in shows at the MOMA, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum at FIT. Her designs can also be found in the Costume Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they are permanently ensconced. In 2010, she opened a store on 38th Street as part of the Made in Midtown project, aimed at reinventing and strengthening the garment district. Yeohlee continues to have her clothing made locally, just one part of her quest for sustainability. “The store has always had a point of view, ” she explained, "focusing on reducing waste and maximizing use of materials. " This approach may sound familiar, as it is echoed by many across the food world, but struck us as unique in the fashion scene. To hear Yeohlee explain it, though, is to believe that, inevitably, others will follow suit. Yeohlee tailors her clothes to “the intelligent woman. ” Most who buy her clothes understand what they are buying, and how it fits them in every sense of the word. People often think only about how clothes look, forgetting “the interstitial spacing created by the interplay of the clothes and the body. ” Yeohlee believes that the way that our clothes fit, in turn, affects how we behave and present ourselves, therefore allowing men and women to gain self-confidence by wearing such perspicaciously designed clothes. Every item in her boutique is simple, elegant, and ever true to the strong principles of design that Yeohlee wields like her very own wand. Most garments are for women: shawls, sweaters, coats, and something called a jerkin - a chic coat-vest of sorts. One of our favorite items was the zero-waste mobius scarf, a must for stylish mathematicians, but the highlight was getting to spend time with Yeohlee Teng, and to have her share her story and her passion for clothing with us. Stay tuned for the men’s collection that will be launching shortly.

Hyatt Herald Square 1 Hotels undefined

Hyatt Herald Square

All my assumptions about the Hyatt Herald Square were dashed upon entering the lobby. I assumed that the Hyatt Herald Square, as part of such a well-known, far reaching hotel brand, would be a reasonably generic, glamorous hotel like one would find in any other major city. I could not have been more wrong. As soon as I stepped inside and saw the fascinating art pieces, chic espresso bar, and unique layout, I realized that this was something special. The concierge is hidden at the back of the lobby, rather than the front, which invited me to explore the lobby’s many treasures before speaking to the staff. A series of clocks on the wall, inspired by Salvador Dali and echoing the shape and color of gourds, displayed the time zones of all the major fashion capitals. Plug ports were located by every seat so that guests could easily rejuice phones or work on laptops. Winding my way to the back, I met Nina Jones, the director of sales and marketing. She explained that all the main Hyatt hotels try to draw inspiration in their décor from the surrounding area’s history and culture. For the Hyatt Herald Square, that means drawing on the publishing and fashion worlds. Nina pointed out that the front desk was made from layers of old newspaper, and the brightly colored books creating a rainbow on the back wall were influenced by media and fashion. Nina went on to say that “Herald Heart, ” the spiraling mobile at the entrance, is made up of 151 sentences, carved from wood, representing the past and present of Herald Square. Having spoken with executive chef Gunnar Steden at Up on 20, I knew that the cuisine at the Hyatt uses local ingredients as much as possible and that even the snack counter around the corner stocks mostly treats from the Tri-State area. As I sipped on a Double Standard Sour in a classy pink hue at the lobby bar, Nina wowed me with the fact that most of the surfaces in the lobby are made from repurposed water tower wood. I left the Hyatt that day feeling like I had received a lesson in the history and culture of New York, as well as having been given a dose of highly-honed hospitality.

Osamil 1 Korean undefined

Osamil

It appears that only a few short weeks after opening Osamil in the early fall of 2016, the three partners of Nomad Izakaya have another hit on their hands. At 5: 00pm when Tom, the photographer for Manhattan Sideways, and I walked in, there were a few people milling about at the impressive white marble bar. By the time we left, about an hour and a half later, there was not a seat to be had upfront, and the tables for dinner were rapidly being filled. Both Nathan, the manager, and Moku, one of the owners, greeted us with big smiles, enthusiastically showing off the beautiful decor. Staring at the front mural - with 5th Avenue and 31st Street signs painted on it - Nathan enlightened us that O-sam-il means 5, 3, 1 in Korean. From their doorway, one can see the real signs outside. The numbers have added significance, because in addition to being on 5th and 31st, the restaurant's address is 5 West 31st. When the team first found this space, they had to strip everything down. When they came upon the brick wall on one side, they decided to sand it and leave it exposed. The end result is a checker board design that is strikingly different than other spaces I have seen. A Korean friend of Moku's did the mural on the rest of the wall. "We told him to do whatever he wanted - to use his imagination. " Moonsub Shin did just that, creating a soft gray design that is soothing and beautiful. The wood tables and short stools are spread down the middle of the restaurant with a few booths along the edges. Liquor lockers span the entire opposite wall, filled with customer's personal alcohol. Be it a fine bottle of Scotch or a vintage wine or bourbon, customers are welcome to store whatever they would like in their secured cubby - for a small corkage fee. Straight in the back lies the open kitchen where Chef David Lee performs his magic. Osamil is different from more traditional Korean eateries found just a few blocks away. Here they are striving to be more "modern and upscale" while still being reminiscent of a typical Korean barbecue restaurant. After showing us around and chatting about Osamil, Nathan and Moku invited Tom and I to take a seat at the bar to await some dishes that we could photograph. Little did we realize that the presentation of these dishes would last for a delightful forty-five minutes. The first to arrive was a sizzling plate of cured shrimp, sauteed shishito peppers with broccoli rabe, and beef tartar. Each dish was presented on a unique plate as a culinary work of art. It was not long before a medley of grilled mushrooms and a large marinated lamb chop covered in a mix of herb and pine nuts were placed in front of us. While we watched Gelo, the bartender, whip up several intriguing cocktails, a 100-year-old oak board was put before us with a very large, crispy port shank. A knife and fork stuck out from the top and the shank was surrounded by a shaved apple salad, lettuce leaves, and three small bowls with an array of pickled relishes. Once Tom had finished taking photos of this impressive meal for two, he was instructed to grab a lettuce leaf and fill it with meat, salad, and a relish of his choice. It was great fun and, he assured me, very tasty. There is no doubt that Osamil is off to a fine beginning.
