Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Tips and Tricks for NYC Dwellers
Reduce Is it possible to reduce your carbon footprint to zero? Even if you live, not on some farm somewhere, but here in New York City? Well, yes, if you're Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, who in 2007 embarked on a year-long experiment to see if he and his family–wife Michelle Conlin, […]
Chef Michael White: New Rustic Italian at Osteria Morini
With Osteria Morini, a brand new rustic Italian restaurant on Lafayette Street in Soho, Chef Michael White pulls off the exceedingly difficult but enormously appealing trick of combining the best of all possible restaurant worlds. The food here–all rich and meaty, from Northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region–is excellent, worthy of a true destination restaurant; while the rustic decor […]
Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody’s Fool at the Asia Society Museum
We admit it: our expectations were pretty low as we walked into the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition at the Asia Society Museum last week. Not that we dislike the almost cultishly adored Japanese artist, a leader of that country's influential Neo-Pop movement… it's just that Nara's big-eyed, large-forehead-ed little girls (often threatening someone with a […]
Family Friendly Apartments in New York City
There are many things that make for a family friendly apartment in New York City, from a building's amenities to its neighborhood and nearby services to the attitude and lifestyle of your fellow tenants. First and foremost, however, the one feature that families with young children covet most of all, is the on-site play […]
Restaurant i NYC
No question, Restaurant i in NYC has what it takes to get your attention, design-wise, even in the increasingly hyped-up Flatiron District. Yes, that's a giant rhino head made from rubber tires in Restaurant i's "foyer", complete with artist catalog on nearby pedestal. Yes, the complicated ceiling slowly changes colors, bathing the grass window boxes between […]
Public Art in NYC Featuring Type on the Streets: Barbara Kruger at the downtown Whitney site and Twist and Amaze on Houston
One of the most exciting long-term New York City projects is the construction of the new, Renzo Piano-designed Whitney Museum downtown, which will stand at the southern terminus of the great High Line Park, on the corner of Washington and Gansevoort Streets. But just because the new Whitney Museum building won't be completed until, […]
Colicchio and Sons NYC: An Elegant Tap Room in the Meatpacking District
Colicchio and Sons Tap Room in NYC is a restaurant for grownups, in a neighborhood (the Meatpacking District) not known for understated elegance, in a time when mid-priced New York City dining seems dominated by pizza, small plates, fried chicken, and pork buns. Not that we don't adore those dishes when done well–burgers, too; also, […]
Rooftop Gardens and Urban Farms in NYC
It’s more than a little ironic than us city-slicking New Yorkers, via the abundance of greenmarket farmers markets that have taken root all over town in the past decade or so–from the massive, wonderful Union Square farmers market to the seasonal spaces such as the Saturday-only greenmarket on 82nd and York–actually have easier access to […]
Peels NYC restaurant, new on the Bowery
Peels NYC is the spanking-new restaurant from that hipster royal duo Taavo Somer and William Tigertt, who had an instant hit a few years ago with their “secret” restaurant Freemans, located at the back of an (understandably) little-traveled, dead-end alley. But while the staffers at Peels restaurant resemble their Freemans fore bearers–all t-shirted, tattooed, and […]
DUMBO Arts Festival: Fun Walk-Around-in-the-Sun Alert, This Weekend!
The always-a-blast DUMBO Arts Festival has been transforming the cobblestoned streets of this Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass community into an excellent art party for about a dozen years now. If you've been before (all photos on this page are from past Festivals), you know how much fun it is to wander around […]
