Torrisi Italian Specialties NYC
Call us bandwagon jumpers-on if you want to, but we'll just come out and say it: Torrisi Italian Specialties NYC is serving some of the best classically prepared Italian food in the city right now. The cozy, casual deli-by-day/fixed-menu-restaurant-by-night spot opened its doors about six months ago on the northern edge of Little Italy, a […]
Picasso: Themes and Variations at the MoMA
It's hard to believe that anything involving Picasso that could actually be under-hyped in this town, but the current Picasso: Themes and Variations exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which we thoroughly enjoyed for lots of different reasons, seems to have slipped under the radar a bit. Maybe it's just the distraction of […]
Lincoln Center NYC: The Rooftop Illumination Lawn
We admit it: we were skeptical about the Lincoln Center NYC's new "Illumination Lawn." Not that we have any problem with contemporary tweaks and upgrades of even the most iconic of New York City landmarks. We're fans of Lincoln Center's new "choreographed" central fountain, for example, and, as has been observed many times before, […]
Popbar NYC: A New Frozen Treats Shop
It's popsicle time in New York City, apparently, with pop shops popping up all over town. First there was People's Pops in Chelsea Market, then La Newyorkina at the Hester Street Fair, and now, on a bustling stretch of Carmine Street in the West Village, comes Popbar NYC, an open festive little parlor that's […]
Antony Gormley: Event Horizon in Madison Square Park
Antony Gormley’s Event Horizon, on display now through the middle of August in and around the excellent Madison Square Park, is one of our favorite public art projects of the last few years. Gormley’s concept here is simple: take 31 life-size body-form statues of his (naked) self, cast in iron and fiberglass, and place […]
Kenmare NYC: Chef Joey Campanaro’s “New” Restaurant
We've never had the opportunity to try Chef Joey Campanaro's food at the tiny, romantic, always-hopelessly-booked Little Owl. Securing a reservation there to sample his famous sliders and porkchops, even one month out, has so far proven elusive. Enter Kenmare NYC, Chef Joey Campanaro's newish, super-sceney restaurant between Soho and Nolita, at which we […]
Deluxx Fluxx NYC: Faile and Bast
Street art is definitely having a NYC moment. First there was Shepard Fairey's takeover of downtown Manhattan, from his massive Houston Street mural and several other major "rogue" pieces, to his packing-them-in show at Deitch, the final exhibition ever at that pioneering gallery before its namesake owner flees the city for the west coast, […]
Amazing 66: The Best Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown?
Is Amazing 66 Chinatown's best Chinese restaurant, non-Dim-Sum division? Well…who knows, really. Just sampling all of the options would require more nights out than we can budget to such a quest. But we will say this: for four-plus years this scrubbed-clean, brightly-lit, modestly-sized, massively-menu'ed spot has been packing in the crowds, usually large groups of […]
The Limelight Marketplace NYC
The jokes are easy, the irony almost too obvious to even mention: the Limelight, one of New York City’s most iconic, most deliriously decadent, most flat-out fun nightclubs of the 1980s and into the ’90s, is now, basically, a mall. Where once the city’s most A-list-iest club kids danced and partied past dawn, suburban […]
Pies ‘n Thighs Brooklyn, NYC
Pies ‘n Thighs, Brooklyn’s cultishly-adored fried chicken joint, just went through a nearly two-year-long stretch of closure, moving, and rebuilding. When it finally re-opened about a month ago, Pies ‘n Thighs rookies could be forgiven for wondering what, exactly, they had been working on for so long. Pies ‘n Thighs in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, still feels […]
