From The City by the Bay to the City that Never Sleeps, see what AGNTS uncovered on their recent trip to the Big Apple.
The flight out to Boston started with the typical in-flight drink and a movie, along with a hipster “meal” of tuna, crackers, grapes, cheese, and hummus. We arrived late and had to leave for New York early so we didn’t find much graff to shoot. But the architecture was beautiful everywhere you looked and the city was amazing as a whole.
The train ride in the morning to New York was dope! We saw bridges blasted along the way, boxcars with bombs and handstyles across them and walls lit up with art. There was a bunch of water spots on the windows but I think we captured a few nice shots for you to look at. Best part about the ride was the breakfast they served and the bar; perfect for a little hair of the dog action after a night of drinking and a hangover filled morning.
Once we got to New York the party started. We hit the New York Giants game where they obviously wrecked our home town floppers, the San Francisco 49ers; we went to a New York Rangers game at the insanely revamped Madison Square Garden; and on the last night there the New York Mets clinched and were off to the World Series. It was chaos and party mayhem everywhere. Luckily for us we had a local who translated our laid back Cali dialect into a more direct New York accent and despite our differences in teams we all enjoyed the games and drank and smoked big.

One of the nights there we walked from the Meat Packing District to Times Square looking for artistic expressions throughout the city. We found an old cathedral with a spooky look that was straight outa Gotham, some sick spots with 228s and places to lay down some AGNTS slaps –newspaper machines, a dumpster and a light box. The journey continued into the morning hours.
I slapped a bunch up my self (obviously). As I was walking through a random block I was stopped by a couple guys and asked why I'm wearing a SF Giants hat and why I was there. I told them I was from the bay and that I was taking graff pics for AGNTS. We talked and smoked for a bit. They told me if shit goes down they had my back. Good to know we have respect all the way in NY!! The next day I went to a Rangers game with one of my boys. The revamped MSG is way dope!!! The Rangers ended up loosing, but I still had a good time. And I mean come on it all about the Sharks!!!
After a few days we had to get back to reality and head home. It was a weekend filled with fun, friends and photos, which is more than we could of asked for. And no matter how nice a place is that you live, it always feels good to have the Cali sun in your face.
