Henri Matisse at the Met: The Mindset behind the Masterpiece
The Metropolitan Museum of Art throws a sure-fire crowd pleaser into its winter mix with the impeccably curated Matisse: In Search of True Painting, an eye-opening assemblage of nearly 50 of the modernist master, Henri Matisse's works, culled from the Met's own extensive collection as well as an array of international sources. Matisse is, of […]
The Museum of Mathematics in NYC Makes Math Fun for Everyone!
Of course math CAN be fun, even for people (like us) who aren't necessarily all that adept with anything beyond the basics. What is surprising is that NYC's spanking-new Museum of Mathematics, which just opened across from Madison Square Park, is the first such institution in all of North America! And not only are we […]
FP Patisserie; Francois Payard’s French Bakery Returns to the Upper East Side
It takes a lot of chutzpah to open up a high-end French bakery in NYC, complete with refined, old-school "tea salon" right across the street from a superb French bakery, Maison Kayser, which also boasts an always-packed casual eatery. But French pastry chef Francois Payard has never been accused of lacking confidence and so, after […]
Ann Hamilton Installation at the Park Avenue Armory
Who knew getting giddy on the swings at Ann Hamilton’s enormous installation at the Park Avenue Armory could possibly the most fun you’ll ever have ‘viewing’ art.

Churros: Traditional Spanish Sweet Treats at Le Churro
Ahhhh, churros, those craggy sticks of fried dough, chewy and sweet and cinnamon-y, dipped in caramel sauce or a cup of thick hot chocolate. Done right, these are a delicious piece snack time heaven.

Vegan Divas Bakery Serves Excellent Sweets on the Upper East Side
Frequent readers of the Glenwood blog will know we love bakeries. And so we approached with some trepidation the notion of an all-vegan bakery. If you're thinking, like we did, "Vegan doughnuts? Why bother?" then you've probably never tried the little beauties now being served in the cute new bakery/coffee-spot, Vegan Divas. Founded by the […]
Maison Kayser NYC: Eric Kayser’s Bakery on the Upper East Side
Maison Kayser NYC, the first American outpost of Parisian master baker Eric Kayser’s international empire of fanatically-adored boulangeries/patisseries/cafes (there are more than 80 all told, mostly in Paris, but also Tokyo, Moscow, Beruit, Athens, etc.), opened about a week ago on the Upper East Side, blocks away from a number of Glenwood’s Manhattan Upper East […]
ABV Wine Bar NYC: Pouring Itself Into the Upper East Side Restaurant Scene
Last year chef Corey Cova came out of nowhere and, along with owners Michael Cesari and Adam Clark, opened Earl’s Beer and Cheese, somehow sneaking some good, interesting beer, a menu of creative, first-rate food, AND not a little bit of cool into a neighborhood that could definitely use more of all three, right there […]
The Penrose NYC on the Upper East Side
Is the Upper East Side actually getting some downtown flavor? For example, over the past couple of years we've seen the likes of the great "food-driven pub" Jones Wood Foundry start slinging its bangers and mash on 76th and First Avenue, and then the lively, creative cocktail spot JBird open a few blocks up on […]
