Hester Street Fair in NYC 2011
The lively, fun and, especially, the TASTY (if also: the crowded and prone-to-sell-out-by-3:00) Hester Street Fair in NYC is opened for its second season last Saturday, and was greeted with enormous enthusiasm by throngs of the hungry from all over town. Yes, the fair edition, still does have plenty of unique and talented craftspeople and […]
Jaume Plensa: Echo (aka “the Big Head”) in Madison Square Park
The curators at Madison Square Park have done it again. Assembled and unveiled just last week, the park's latest summer-long art installation is called Echo, it's by the great Jaume Plensa, and it is a brilliant and beautiful addition that will keep watch over the park's main lawn between now and mid August. Jaume Plensa […]
Rockography NYC: New Rock-n-Roll Diner in Greenwich Village
We admit it: when we first saw the signage for Rockography, just opened this spring on the prime Village corner of Sixth Avenue and 13th Street, our heart sank. "Really?", we thought. "Rockography: Eat. Drink. JAM!" ? Rockography's pre-release hype– calling it "John Varvatos meets Cafeteria", and "a more authentic Hard Rock Cafe" (which wouldn't […]
The John Jay Playground in NYC: Newly Designed and Renovated on the Upper East Side
It's always good news when any New York City playground, in any neighborhood, gets lots of new equipment, and a new surface, and new benches and landscaping. But for residents of the Upper East Side and, especially, for residents of Glenwood's elegant Pavilion, on 77th and York, it is GREAT news that the city just […]
NYC Festival of Ideas for the New City: Fun, Interesting, Unique Event May 4 – 8
This sounds like it's going to be great. The NYC Festival of Ideas for the New City, anchored by the New Museum on Bowery but involving dozens of organizations large and small and sprawling throughout the Village, Soho, the Lower East Side, and Chinatown, is just the sort of ambitious, innovative, creative, and, most of […]
Two New Candy Stores in NYC With an International Flavor: Sockerbit and London Candy Co.
In the past few weeks there's been a bit of a sweet-treat invasion here in Manhattan, as a pair of new candy stores, one Swedish, the other from England, have opened their doors in the West Village and on the Upper East Side, respectively. Now, our philosophy has always been the more candy stores in […]
Richard Serra Drawing: A Retrospective, at the Met
Richard Serra Drawing, an expansive, 40-year survey of the great sculptor's art works on paper, proves, if nothing else, that this is an artist who can't do anything that doesn't feel like it weighs a ton. Now running at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the terrific exhibition features approximately 50 of Serra's drawings–mostly black, mostly […]
Go Burger NYC, new(ish) on the Upper East Side
Go Burger NYC (as opposed to Go Burger LA), opened a couple of months ago in a central Upper East Side location, and seemed primed from the start to be a go-to neighborhood spot for families, groups, dates, couples… really: anyone who likes an easy, fun burger-fries-shake meal every now and again. First, Go Burger […]
Coppelia: Chef Julian Medina’s New, Mostly Cuban Diner
Coppelia, the spanking new, mostly Cuban diner from Chef Julian Medina of Yerba Buena and Toloache renown, is one of the those New York City restaurants for which we're always grateful. For one thing, it's open all day (and, soon, all night), so you can stop in any time for a quick bite, or a […]
Malevich and the American Legacy at Gagosian New York
Pretty much only Larry Gagosian could create a gallery exhibition that's as historic and deep and exhilarating as Malevich and the American Legacy, on display now at his Madison Avenue triplex in New York, and only until April 30. The centerpiece of the show are six apparently rare and definitely extraordinary paintings by the early-20th-century […]
