I've seen a lot of strange and amazing things behind Chelsea's frosted gallery doors over the years, but Li Hongbo's incredible paper sculptures might go down as the oddest, most delightful surprise of all time. Now on display at the Klein Sun Gallery, Hongbo's exhibition, titled Tools of Study, appears to be simply a room […]
Contemporary Art Lovers: Visit Isa Genzken’s MoMA Retrospective
Full disclosure: I had never heard of the German-born, obviously influential, Isa Genzken before this sprawling retrospective opened at the Museum of Modern Art. I really had no idea what to expect when I went to a preview showing, but after about an hour or so wandering through the many galleries, and the many different styles and […]
Iron Chef Amanda Freitag’s Reinvented Empire Diner in Chelsea

Put Harlem’s Mountain Bird Restaurant On Your Winter Itinerary
Three things struck me immediately upon sitting down in the pretty little room on West 145th Street that's home to the improbable French-ish restaurant Mountain Bird: 1. everything on the menu sounds awesome; 2. at these prices I can get three or four things and not feel guilty; and 3. this place would be mobbed […]
