Lift Floats is a business in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, that offers a full array of sensory deprivation tanks that can help you tune out the world in order to focus and/or relax.
We believe that having somewhere to relax—a refuge to escape from it all—is key to staying grounded. That's why we've put so much care into Lift. Having experienced the inner stillness, bursts of insight and relief from pain that floating can bring, we're passionate about making this practice more widely available.
In this video from our friends at INSIDER, see what sensory deprivation tanks and Lift Floats is all about.
NYC Basic Tips & Etiquette by comic artist Nathan W. Pyle is a comedic guide for transplants and tourists that explains how life works in the City. For us locals, the guide can be a funny reminder that the rest of the country doesn't necessarily operate by the same rules.
Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number of tourists). In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the answers to such burning questions as, how do I hail a cab? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip is a little story illustrated in simple black and white drawings.
