The sushi master. Bun Lai of Miya’s Sushi was recently featured in a piece from April’s issue of Outside Magazine, titled “The Gourmet Invasivore’s Dilemma,” as well as an accompanying photo shoot. According to the article, “with his spotlight and his pail and his perfect snap-on hair, he looks like an action figure.” The piece continues: “Who could stop this Chinese-Japanese-American hero for our times, stirring a wok in his Hawaiian-print bathing suit and popping boiling crabs into his mouth?”

Not your typical painting. A large ad for a defunct cigar store in Westville has been replaced by a work of modern art by Tony Kosloski titled “Execution Wall — paper for the controllers (head shot/life in the time of the assassins).”  The newly installed massive black, red, and white banner — spanning over 24 feet wide and 8 feet tall — is a nearly full-sized, vinyl reproduction of a Kosloski painting.
