Fatty ‘Cue West Village: Better Than the Brooklyn Original?
Chef Zakary Pelaccio and his kitchens of mad-genius chefs have whipped up some of our favorite meals of the last few years: at the original Maylasian-y Fatty Crab on Hudson Street, and then the Upper West Side version of the same. The temporary "ham restaurant," Fatty Johnsons, where his late lamented taco spot Cabrito also once […]
Ai Weiwei in Chelsea: “Sunflower Seeds” at Mary Boone Gallery
In April of 2010, renowned artist Ai Weiwei, one of the most acclaimed artists and activists of his generation, was detained/arrested/kidnapped by the Chinese government for 81 days. No charges made, no communication allowed to the outside world, almost-daily interrogations about his involvement in… well, we'll probably never know. EIGHTY-ONE DAYS! And this was a […]
Museum of the City of New York: the Greatest Grid & the Unfinished Grid
The too-often overlooked Museum of the City of New York, residing all stately on the Carnegie Hill stretch of Fifth Avenue, right across the street from the spectacular (and also often-overlooked) Central Park Conservatory Garden, has a terrific pair of free exhibitions going on all winter. One that history buffs, armchair city planners, and New […]
Chef Dave Martin’s Meatball Factory Vs. the Meatball Shop
We've been fans of the Meatball Shop since it opened a few years ago on the Lower East Side, and have cheered on its subsequent expansion to both Williamsburg and the West Village. The more meatballs the merrier, as far as we're concerned. That said, we were definitely a little skeptical when Top Chef finalist […]
Gwyneth Leech: Hypergraphia, in the Flatiron Prow Art Space
Ever since the middle of September, Gwyneth Leech has sat on a stool within the base of the lovely, legendary Flatiron Building drawing on coffee cups. Five days a week, three hours a day (Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 until 2:00, to be exact), Leech creates often-intricate, sometimes quite colorful patterns and drawings on all of […]
Pub Food in New York: The Wren NYC on Bowery
The stretch of Bowery from Houston to about West 4th needs a new, hip, casual, boozy restaurant like it needs a hole in its head (think: Peels, Hecho en Dumbo, DBGB, Pulinos, etc.). BUT if said (eating- and watering-) hole is as good and as much fun as the Wren? Well, then.. we’ll take it! […]
Madison Square Park Features Jacco Olivier’s “Painterly Animations”
Madison Square Art, the group within the Madison Square Conservancy who have been responsible for bringing all the fantastic public art to the park over the past decade, end their 2011 season with six lovely little animations, some site-specific, by the dutch artist Jacco Olivier. The flat screen monitors were installed last week throughout Madison […]
Torrisi Italian Specialties’ Downtown Restaurant: Parm NYC
One of our favorite meals of 2010 was the mega-course miracle at Torrisi Italian Specialties on Mulberry Street, a feast of old school dishes given the exact-right update, or twist. The opportunity to indulge in a Torrisi binge hasn't presented itself since then (the wait for table in the tiny, no-reservation room is long; the […]
Openhouse Gallery’s Park Here: An Indoor Pop-Up Park in Nolita
Openhouse Gallery’s Park Here: The Indoor Pop-Up Park was a favorite oasis of ours last winter, a surprisingly pleasant and comfortable place in Nolita to sit with friends and snack and chat, or to stop in alone and read or work or, yes, maybe take a little nap. You know: things you might do in […]
Met Exhibit: Sumptuous Art of the Arab Lands Galleries Now Open
It took more than eight years of rethinking, redesigning, and renovating, but last month the Metropolitan Museum of Art finally reopened their world-class Islamic art exhibits in the Art of the Arab Lands galleries, and the appreciation and acclaim for all of their hard work as been both universal and well deserved. By increasing the […]
