The Brooklyn Flea 2011
The great Brooklyn Flea is now in full effect, all-weekend-every-weekend, Saturdays in Fort Greene, Sundays in Williamsburg, rain or shine, now through mid-November. And judging by our first two visits this season, on the Brooklyn Flea Market's first two weekends, even as it gets bigger, and more popular, it only gets better.
Tekserve Recycling in NYC: Terrific FREE Event, THIS SATURDAY, April 16
Do you have a drawer at home filled with old cell phones and iPods, some of which you haven't used (or haven't worked) in years? How about those tangles of chargers and cables that plug into who-knows-what anymore? And then there are those sad victims of your home entertainment upgrades, the outdated iMacs, monitors, and […]
The Isamu Noguchi Museum in New York
There are signs everywhere begging you not to, but at some point during your visit to the Isamu Noguchi Museum, you're going to succumb to the urge: you are going to touch at least one of the stone, metal, wood or clay sculptures that are the centerpiece of this lovely little museum. Maybe just for […]
The Brooklyn Star Restaurant: Terrific New Takes on Classic American Comfort Food
File under: excellent neighborhood spot that, for non-locals, is totally worth the trip. The Brooklyn Star Restaurant in Williamsburg, showcasing Chef Joaquin Baca's artfully updated, seasonally-driven takes on classic American comfort food, was really hitting its stride when a late night fire pretty much destroyed everything, back in February of 2010. It would take more […]
10 Room Changers for Springtime
If spring ever actually arrives here in New York City–snow on April 1?, is this a PRANK, Mr. Climate!?–we're ready with our supplies to do some spring cleaning! AND, in keeping with the season's spirit of renewal, we always like to bring a little something new to our home every spring. It doesn't have to […]
Norman Rockwell and Lorna Simpson at the Brooklyn Museum
There's always a lot to like about the Brooklyn Museum in New York, from its recently freshened facade–a striking, wholly contemporary glass-and-steel entranceway that works beautifully with the grand old Beaux-Arts building–to its welcoming plaza complete with crowd-pleasing, "choreographed" fountain, to its manageable size, its community spirit, and its suggested admission price. In fact, the […]
Empellon NYC: Chef Alex Stupak’s New Mexican Restaurant
Chef Alex Stupak was partially responsible for one of our all-time favorite New York City meals, a birthday celebration at the three-starred wd-50 on Clinton Street. At the time Stupak was wd-50's pastry chef, and his creations, which ended a spectacular meal, were as gorgeous, unique, and delicious as our companion. Now Alex Stupak has […]
Girl Scout Cookies NYC Pop-up Shops
We're as susceptible to cookie-based nostalgia as anyone else… especially, perhaps, of the Girls Scout Thin Mints/Samoa variety. Problem is, if you don't have a neighbor or co-worker hawking their wares, it's not that easy to get your annual Girl Scout cookies fix. Enter the Girl Scout Cookie Pop-up Shops, open now through May, one […]
Morrison Hotel Gallery on Bowery Presents: Roots of Punk and Hip Hop
Legendary music photographers Janette Beckman and David Corio (left and right, below) have an excellent exhibition going on now at the Morrison Hotel Gallery on Bowery, right next to the old CBGB (which is now a John Varvatos outlet), and if you were alive and in love with music in the late 1970s and 1980s, […]
Looking at Music 3.0 at the MoMA
Here's a good way to predict your appreciation of Looking at Music 3.0, the Museum of Modern Art's small but busy and loud exhibition on how (mostly hip hop and electronica) music has influenced contemporary art… Does the idea of strolling into a MoMA gallery and seeing Rakim up on a big screen laying down his […]
