Evolution in SoHo

If Charles Darwin and Danny Elfman opened a store together, it would be Evolution. I first discovered this place when I lived in New York in 1995, and I still visit whenever I'm in SoHo.

Their replica skull collection is my favorite. I love how these familiar animals seem like mythological beasts without their identifying skin and muscle. Someday, I hope to have one of these sitting on my coffee table.

Coke's Freestyle Soda Fountain

Read about these Coke dispensers in Fast Company over a year ago. But I finally got to try one at Pei Wei last week.

Only one spout for all drinks + ice, and one touch screen gives you over 100 drink options, from Diet Caffeine -Free Vanilla Coke to Peach Fanta.

And the machine's wired so all the data goes back to Coke's headquarters in Atlanta. According to Fast Company, "The machines upload data about beverage consumption, peak times, and popular locations. Coke can also talk back to the machine, letting it know if a particular flavor needs to be discontinued or recalled and causing it to stop serving the drink immediately."
