Dos Toros Taqueria & Toloache: NYC’s new Upper East Side Mexican Spot
Two of our favorite Mexican spots in New York City, Toloache and Dos Toros–both very different; both very good–opened up new locations on the Upper East Side this fall, and we couldn’t be more excited about having our periodic taco cravings so easily satisfied. Sure, there have been several ok Upper East Side Mexican restaurant […]
Art in NYC: The Art Students League of New York
The Art Students League of New York has been around for 136 years now, and counts among its former faculty and students such 20th-century giants as Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Georgia O’Keefe, Maurice Sendak, Donald Judd, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jackson Pollock. The Art Students League’s NYC building on West 57th Street is a […]
The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951, at the Jewish Museum
With its more than 140 photographs–often iconic, always engaging, and mostly taken on the streets of our beloved New York City, through the Depression, the War, and the post-war, ultimately red-baiting, years to follow–the Radical Camera exhibition at the Jewish Museum’s mansion-y home on Fifth Avenue would be a noteworthy addition to the season’s cultural […]
Schnipper’s on 23rd Street: NYC Flatiron District’s solid quick-bite option
If you’re like us, it’ll to happen sooner rather than later: you’re walking around in the vicinity of the beautiful Flatiron District, hanging in lovely Madison Square Park, shopping along that stretch of stores on lower Fifth Avenue (or at the fun new Marimekko!), or engaged in any of a dozen other reasons to be in […]
New York Museums: The New-York Historical Society Reinvents Itself
Founded in 1804, the New-York Historical Society is the oldest museum in all of New York City, beating out its across-the-park neighbor, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by some 70 years; its vast holdings of artworks–more than 1.6 million pieces!–historical objects, and all manner of printed material, much of it quite rare, making it a […]
Off-Beat NYC Holiday Events Happening This Week!
There are, of course, dozens of holiday celebrations all over town this month, from the somewhat pricey but undeniably lovely (the Family Hanukkah Party at the Jewish Museum on December 14; Paul Winter’s Winter Solstice Celebration at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on December 15 – 17), to the totally free and still […]
East Village Restaurants: Prima NYC on First Street
You know you’re in good hands when the bread- (semolina, from Grandaisy) and olive oil- (a generous pour of something spectacular) course gets your eyes rolling back in ecstasy. But then, we expected good things before we even walked into Prima NYC, a handsome, comfortable, friendly restaurant, just opened on First Street by a crack […]
Alexander Calder Mobiles and Stabiles: Calder 1941 Exhibition at Pace Gallery 57th Street
It was one of the great outpourings that the art world had ever seen: in 1941, Alexander Calder, having worked with his signature mobiles and stabiles for almost a decade, just exploded with creative innovation and energy, pushing his now-familiar form into new territory. Alexander Calder mobiles had bolder colors, a greater variety, and, thanks […]
A Vegetarian Restaurant in NYC: Green Bean Cafe on the Upper East Side
As regular readers of our restaurant reviews are undoubtedly aware, we’re not vegans, or vegetarians, preferring an omnivoric approach to our eating. That said, we love any sort of food that tastes good, so when several of our Upper East Side friends recommended the NYC vegetarian restaurant Green Bean Cafe (they have lots of strictly […]
Ice Skating (and More!) in Bryant Park 2011
We know that the great free skating rink in Bryant Park–aka, Citi Pond–has been open for almost a month already, but for us, outdoor ice skating season doesn’t really kick in until Thanksgiving week. Which is now. Which is why we went to Citi Pond a couple of days ago for the first time this […]
