Jessie on a Journey
This is a massive and striking street mural depicting the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls or Christopher Wallace. The mural is painted on the side of a brick building in a vibrant, graffiti-inspired style. Biggie's face is rendered in vivid shades of orange, yellow, and red, with his features exaggerated and stylized. His eyes are piercing and intense, and his expression is stern and powerful. He is wearing an ornate, golden crown adorned with intricate designs. The background is covered in graffiti-style lettering and text, including the words 'Game Dog,' 'Living History,' and what appears to be the rapper's name repeated multiple times. The overall effect is one of bold, urban street art that pays tribute to one of the most influential figures in hip-hop music.

Exploring Brooklyn's Bedstuy Neighborhood

Spent the day exploring the unassuming #Brooklyn neighborhood of #Bedstuy with @lokelyapp, an app dedicated to helping users -- especially travelers visiting a new city -- connect with locals of designated neighborhoods and get real local recommendations from the people who know the area best. Some highlights of the day: vibrant #streetart (see above for #Biggie!); an aerial view of #NYC from a my Lokely App local's apartment rooftop; smashed avocado toast at Stonefruit Espresso + Kitchen; a relaxing stroll through Herbert Von King Park; beautiful brownstones on Green Street; chorizo tacos amongst Mexican wrestling masks at Lucha Lucha; and craft beer meets coffee at Bed-Vyne Brew. More #photos to come! What's your favorite Bedstuy or Brooklyn experience?
