This year marks the 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones and NIXON has a new collaboration to celebrate that uses one of the most famous logos in rock-and-roll.
The Nixon x The Rolling Stones collab will drop worldwide, featuring watches and other accessories incorporating different iterations of the iconic Tongue logo that the band is synonymous with.
The collection spans the high and low end of the Nixon spectrum across some of Nixon's best selling and most popular timepieces. The five watch release includes the limited edition Primacy, the oversized 51-30 Chronograph, two Time Teller analog models, and the digital Staple model. Replacement bands are also a part of the release.
Shinji
Shinji’s, a new transportive, immersive and innovative cocktail bar from the team behind Michelin-starred omakase restaurant Noda, opens in the Flatiron District [37 West 20th Street]. Partners David Hess, Aiden Carty (Architect), Justin Hauser, Philip Dizard (Operations Director), Shigeyuki Tsunoda (Executive Chef) and Ken Fulk (design and branding) named the bar after Shinji Nohara, the “Tokyo Fixer,” known for his knowledge on, and relationships within the food and restaurant scene in Japan. Philip and Jonathan Adler (Beverage Director) curated a technique-driven beverage program with cocktails that evoke emotion and play on various nostalgic themes.
Offering a beautiful salmon pink hue, La Grande Dame Rosé 2012 showcases Madame Clicquot’s audacious vision of color, taste, and aromas, which are all essential for the quality of a wine. On the nose, you’ll find floral notes, evolving towards warmer, more spicy notes. In the mouth, after a strong initial feel, it is elegant and silky making it a complex, lively wine, with a pleasing and lasting finish.
The Rosé is best enjoyed with Garden Gastronomy, the new gastronomic experience using “grand cru” vegetables to pair with the “grand cru” grapes of the wine, expanding the senses and surprising the palette. This is achieved by sourcing seasonal, local and extremely fresh produce that embodies delicacy, lightness, minerality and purity to complement the champagne.
