Isamu Noguchi: The New York Sculptor Who Built His Own Museum in Queens
After being rejected by Robert Moses and leaving his mark in cities around the world, Noguchi secured his own legacy in NYC. A new exhibit celebrates it.

Leaf, on Liverpool’s Bold Street is a great cafe/venue in the city. Having been around since 2007, it’s well established and loved by many!
Formerly a tea room in the 1920s, it’s gone full circle, from being a cinema in the late 20th century and a Microzine clothes shop, back to where it is today as a tea shop! Not limiting themselves to just tea, in which they excel, they also host vintage markets, music and club nights.
Leaf boasts a great open space with high ceilings and comfy chairs as well as tables and benches. A large space upstairs for events and functions, and a great overall atmosphere. The staff on duty were great, taking our orders at the counter and then bringing them over to the table when ready. A rather extensive choice of food is also available – including options for various food preferences or allergies. They only stock loose leaf tea, and have a wide variety of flavours for you to choose from.
