Deep Fried Kool-Aid, Sticky Buns, Best Cupcakes in NYC: Downtown Bakery News
For whatever reason, new bakeries seem to be opening up throughout New York City with about the same frequency as new ice cream parlors. Which is to say: insanely frequently. Which is to say: this is a great time to be alive, a New Yorker, and in the mood for some dessert. In fact, there's […]
Tacombi at Fonda Nolita
The somewhat awkwardly-named Tacombi at Fonda Nolita is, above all else, one of those rare super-gimmicky spots that totally works. Set amongst the precious boutiques and beautiful-people cafes of Elizabeth Street in a poured-concrete garage, Tacombi at Fonda Nolita is a (relatively) cheap taco stand that does everything it can to evoke the owners' other […]
Downtown Culture Pass and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council: Two Smart Ways to Explore the Tip of the Island
There's always a million great things to do in this city, with new events, exhibitions, stores, restaurants, pop-ups, shows, parks, and recreations vying for your attention (and paycheck) all day, every day. And that's fantastic, of course — it's one of the reasons why we love living here — but it does mean that under-hyped […]
BMW Guggenheim Lab NYC An Urban Environment Experiment
It's difficult to explain exactly what the BMW Guggenheim Lab is all about in a sentence or two — which is why they've posted a three-minute video on the BMW Guggenheim Lab website under the question "What is the Lab?" — but we can tell you this: we've stopped by a few times already to […]
“Talk to Me” at MoMA New York: Design and Communication
First, a caveat about the small but lively exhibition "Talk to Me: Design and Communication between People and Objects" just opened on the third floor of the Museum of Modern Art: if you spend any time looking at design websites, blogs or tumblrs, you've probably already seen a lot this online. We're kind of obsessed […]
The Brooklyn Flea Markets: The New Williamsburg Flea Market
We've had a ton of fun–and eaten a lot of good food–at the Brooklyn Flea's Fort Greene location several times already this summer, but last weekend was our first foray into the great market's Williamsburg digs. The Brooklyn Flea's formula is much the same here, offering up sellers of interesting vintage wares (from dining room […]
Mini Golf in Manhattan (and more!) at Pier 25
Ok, so it's August, but don't panic: there's still PLENTY of time to do all those great Summer in the City things that make this our favorite time of year. And if "playing mini golf in Manhattan" was on your summer must-do list, like it was on ours, you are sooooo going to love Pier […]
Beecher’s Cheese: Handmade Cheese New York
Note to New York City cheese lovers: your cheese-eating options just increased by a pretty huge "one." Beecher's Handmade Cheese, a Seattle-based cheese-maker and -monger, opened up a three-level factory / cafe / shop / restaurant-and-bar a few weeks ago, right in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron District, in a lovely landmark building on the […]
Best Ice Cream in NYC: L’Arte Del Gelato, Il Laboratorio del Gelato and more!
We eat lots of ice cream all throughout the year–at least one bowl each day, in fact–so summer's not an especially frozen-treatish time for us. But there have been a bunch of new NYC ice cream parlors and gelato stands opening up recently, so as we head into high summer, we figured it was as […]
East River Esplanade: Stunning New York Waterfront Views
The East River Esplanade–or, check that: the first two-block waterfront stretch of the $165.9 million East River Esplanade–was officially opened last week (and unofficially a couple of weeks before that), and it is, in a word, fantastic. Beautifully designed and landscaped by Ken Smith of Ken Smith Landscape Architect, and Gregg Pasquarelli of SHoP Architects, […]
