FRIDAY | Los Angeles | Truck Alert

Imitate lunch. While you expand your ideas of contemporary art, pair it with coffee and more with Coffee Commissary’s truck. It’s parked outside the instagrammable outdoor facade which is as much on view as its inside contents. Have a coffee, see art.

EVERGREEN | Prospect Heights + Bedstuy, Brooklyn |Craft begets craft

You’ve wanted an extra day to not sleep in, not do nothing, but actually explore something new or just heard-of-cool. Visit Prospect Heights for Daly Pies for pie and coffee by the former and Eastlick Coffee. Eastlick Coffee, founded by Joel Renata Eastlick – a staple in recent years to New York Coffee culture – provides the beans that are roasted and brewed locally.  Or, visit the still newcomers Trade Union Cafe for a taste of Eastlick coffees, now on rotation.

EVERGREEN |WORLD | Press play

She lives near a volcano in Guatemala. Her name is Maria and the film is titled Ixcanul. Ixancul explores the culture of the Kaqchikel Mayans in Guatemala’s coffee-growing highlands. Maria gets more than ‘more’ when she becomes pregnant while still wanting to escape her Central America country and the wedding of an older man who owns a coffee farm. Weekend viewing.
