yule log. on Flickr.The Yule Log on Channel 11 is a New York holiday tradition. It was started in 1966 by the president of the station and was considered a gift to New Yorkers, many of which do not have a fireplace in their apartments. All it is is a loop of a fireplace which only lasts about 6 minutes. It appeared every year until 1990, when it was canceled due to the cost of the program, which airs without commercial interruption, and many “bring back the log” campaigns started. New Yorkers would not see the log burn again until 2001, when it was brought back in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It’s been broadcast every year since, and the NYC tradition has also been introduced nationally on other Tribune Broadcasting networks.

real simple pop up store, bryant park. on Flickr.Real Simple Magazine has a pop-up store over in Bryant Park overlooking the ice skating rink. Good thing I ventured over there last night, since it was closing at the end of the night. It was definitely worth a look, even though I didn’t get anything. There was a DJ spinning, a makeover station from L’Oreal, goods from Vera Bradley and The North Face, tons of books and gadgets. Pop-up stores have become kind of a given in the city - lots of great promo tie-ins mixed in with a great branded shopping experience can totally make customers true-blue believers & loyalists.
