Restaurants Serving Brunch for Easter Sunday in NYC!

If you haven't already concocted a menu and ordered the ham/lamb for a home Easter celebration this Sunday, maybe it'd be easier at this point just to go out somewhere? There are, of course, scores of great brunch spots all over town, some with special Easter menus, and several of our favorite restaurants are also […]


Relive the British Invasion at Lincoln’s Center’s “Ladies and Gentlemen… The Beatles!”

As I'm sure you've heard (was it the shrieking teenagers echoing across the decades?), The Beatles first came to America 50 years ago in February, landing at JFK to begin their historic TV-radio-concert-tour across the country, spearheading the so-called British Invasion which would redefine music and culture forever.


NYC’s Best Destination Parks

  If you're fortunate enough to live right near one of the more than 1,700 public parks and playgrounds that make New York City among the greenest urban areas on the planet well…. then, that's where we'll probably find you this weekend. Yay spring!. But even though New Yorkers all have their favorite neighborhood spots […]


Easter Egg Hunts, Parades, and Other Fun Activities in NYC

Photo by Robert S. Donovan Next weekend is Easter already! A holiday which is a great excuse to celebrate spring, wear lots of florals, get together with family, microwave some peeps, and eat a ton of chocolate. For kids, though, Easter is all about the egg hunt (although the Faberge Big Egg Hunt is fun for adults too). […]


Pop Art & Post-War Artwork from Onnasch Collection at Hauser & Wirth

New York City's grand museums are about to launch their big spring/summer exhibitions. We're especially looking forward to Ai Wei Wei in Brooklyn, and Jeff Koons Whitney takeover, which will be that institution's grand finale at their Upper East Side location. Until then, it seems like the perfect time to check out some gallery shows around town.


Spring Cleaning Tips for 2014: Refresh Your Living Space

Seems like it actually might be warm now for the duration (though let's not forget the April blizzard of '82!). Spring ushers in lots of activites in New York, such as the flower shows we wrote about recently. But it's also time to clean your home. Ugh, I know, but remember: there are few chores […]


The Faberge Big Egg Hunt is ON!

Is NYC cracking up? Well, while there may be several examples of that, right now, and through until April 18, there are more than 250 giant eggs "hidden" all over New York City. Each one of these fabulous two-and-a-half-foot sculptures has been dyed… er, designed, by a different artist. They are the focus of the […]


Charlie Bird in Soho: A Delicious Italian Party

Charlie Bird, the wildly successful Itailan-ish spot that somehow comfortably crams a city’s worth of scenesters every night into its awkward narrow space, was at or near the top of just about every “best new restaurant” list last year. People love the casual atmosphere, the wine list, and the food. Anchoring the western end of […]
