Super Bowl Boulevard Takes Over Times Square! Is it Worth a Visit?
You've probably already heard plenty about Super Bowl Boulevard, the half-mile-long (or so) stretch of Broadway between Herald and Times Squares that the city has closed off to cars and filled with every sort of heavily-sponsored NFL-related activities you can imagine. The idea, of course, is to give the tourists and ticket-holders something to do […]
Art Spiegelman and Marc Chagall Exhibitions at The Jewish Museum
January is always a great cultural catch-up month for me, when I can finally get to some of the movies, books, and art shows I missed during the social whirlwind of the holiday season. So far I've seen The Brooklyn Museum's exhibitions and MAD Museum's 3D Printing display, as well as a pair of first-rate exhibitions […]
Alternative Things To Do in NYC Besides Watching The Super Bowl
Although millions of us will join our countrymen this Sunday evening and watch the game on TV, there is also many others who have no interest in sports or advertising. Thankfully for those of you that fall into the second category, there are tons of alternatives to watching the Super Bowl and things to do in NYC this […]
A Look at The Future Second Avenue Subway Artwork in NYC
For residents on the Upper East Side, the Second Avenue Subway can't open soon enough (sure would have been nice during the blizzard this week when the M15 was a disaster, right?), both because the construction will finally be over and, most of all, because it will offer a new public transportation option, as well […]
Brooklyn Museum’s Current Exhibitions: Including The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier
When I finally made it over to The Brooklyn Museum recently, I discovered their fall/holiday-season shows (all ending soon!) are an impressive three-for-three winners. It's been a while since the much-loved museum was home to so many strong exhibitions at the same time! My favorite of all them has to be "From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk," a large, loud, […]

Greek Restaurant Kefi Reopens on UWS and Is Better Than Ever!
Michael Psilakis' Upper West Side Greek restaurant Kefi has always been wildly popular with locals, right from when it first opened on 79th Street in 2007, replacing Psilakis's high-end Onera. Since then, Kefi hasn't had an easy time of it.
Registration Open for Spring Classes at The Art Center in NYC
There is no shortage of toddler, preschool, extracurricular, and adult classes in this great big city of ours, but when you find a local place that consistently delivers high quality (and fun!) instruction at reasonable prices, well… you're in luck.
Route 66 Smokehouse Serves Up Quality BBQ Food on FiDi’s Stone Street
Historic Stone Street and the downtown dining scene may already be flush with good food, large drinks, and lively crowds, but what it doesn’t have is some first-rate barbecue! A spot that works just as well for after-work feasting and carousing as it does for a weekend outing with the kids. Until, that is, Route 66 Smokehouse opened its […]
MAD Museum’s Current Exhibition Displays Cutting Edge 3D Printing
If you've ever wondered what this whole 3D printing thing is about–or, even better, if you're already pretty familiar with digital fabrication, and want to see to just how far the technology is being pushed right now–exploring the new Out of Hand exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design is a terrific way to […]
