Stuffed Artisan Cannolis NYC
Cannolis in New York City That Come in Some Extraordinary Flavors Because you can’t eat cupcakes every day (well… yes you can, but it’s nice to have variety, too), welcome, please, Stuffed Artisan Cannolis, the new “Cannoli Spot and Coffee Shop” on the Lower East Side that is fast becoming a viable option for a […]
Northern Spy Food Company East Village Restaurant
Northern Spy Food Company definitely falls into the category of “restaurants to root for.” Opened about a month ago by two San Francisco transplants with solid foodie pedigrees (Myth and A16, in the City by the Bay), this cozy, cute, general-store-ish East Village restaurant is turning out terrific, greenmarket-driven dishes. The prices at Northern Spy […]
Robert Frank: The Americans at the Met
Robert Frank: The Americans, the Metropolitan Museum’s riveting exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Frank’s seminal book, also titled The Americans, will only be on display for a few more weeks, until January 3. And even though all Robert Frank’s photos here in the show are from the book, which is for sale […]
Unsilent Night NYC: This Saturday, December 12!
The fabulously festive Unsilent Night, composer Phil Kline’s annual boombox “caroling” parade through the East Village, has become as much a part the New York City holiday landscape as visiting Santa at Macy’s, or the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree. Well, maybe not… but we prefer it that way. Now in its 18th year […]
Kolache Mama in Midtown
The Czech Pastry Kolache Comes to NYC The Czech pastry kolache is an Eastern European street-food staple, but it would be a mistake to think of midtown’s newish Kolache Mama as a dour place to grab a quick bite. In fact, this may just be the perkiest, pinkest new fast food spot we’ve seen since […]
Urs Fischer Installation Artist at the New Museum
The New Museum is in one of our favorite spaces to see art in New York City. We love the building’s architecture, especially the way it looks, all blocky and stacked, as you approach it from Prince Street. We love the wide open gallery spaces, with their poured concrete floors, and all the graphic […]
Top of the Rock Observation Deck
The Rockefeller Center Observatory Experience When the Top of the Rock observation deck reopened in 2005, after a 19-year hiatus, we were among the first in line. And when we emerged out onto the three-tiered observation deck, on a cold but sparkling November morning, some 71 stories above our beloved city… well, it was, […]
Brinkley’s Restaurant
Brinkley’s New York restaurant–lively, cozy, and right there handy on the border between Soho and Nolita–is going to be a great place to stop in for a drink and a bite to eat on many a winter evening to come. Run by brothers Anthony and Tom Martingnetti, who have nicely transformed their eponymous Bar Martignetti […]
Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square 2009
For Upper West Siders, the big kick-off to the holiday season has definitely become the spectacular Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square, now in its tenth year and currently the largest holiday festival in all of New York City. For families, foodies and anyone who enjoys tons of free entertainment and holiday good cheer, the sidewalks […]
David Hockney Pop Art Paintings at Pace Wildenstein
Pop Artist David Hockney’s Landscape Paintings Five years ago, with his 70th birthday looming and an enormously successful career safely in his pocket, pop artist David Hockney left his long-time Hollywood home to return to England, and the East Yorkshire town of his childhood. And there, David Hockney, much to everyone’s surprise including the artist […]
