Upper East Side Gem 83 1/2 Reopens as Italian Restaurant
When 83 1/2 opened last fall in the heart of Glenwood's Upper East Side territory, I was excited. With well-known Chef Ryan Skeen manning the burners–he of Allen and Delancey, Resto, and 5 & Diamond fame/notoriety, among others–and a modest, local-favorite sort of feel, it seemed like just the sort of place the neighborhood needs.
MoviePass: For $35 a Month Get Unlimited Movies at (Almost) Every NYC Theatre
I go to a lot of movies, in a lot of different theaters, in neighborhoods all over Manhattan and Brooklyn. And by a lot I mean around 120 a year, which is about 10 a month, or 2 or 3 every week. I see documentaries and art films, Hollywood blockbusters and rom-coms, foreign films, indie […]
Ken Price Sculpture: A Retrospective Exhibition at the Met
With the Met's annual Roof Garden installation feeling less "festive vacation" this year and more "blood-splattered crime scene" (not to mention that the season's big fashion exhibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture, is just depressing for anyone who lived through or still cares about that era), it's nice that at least one of the museum's summer […]
Is Clarke’s Standard Going To Be NYC’s Next Hit Burger?
I wrote about Clarke's Standard a few months back, pitting the burger at this newfangled/old-fashioned "soda shop" spot against its more expensive cousin at the long-established P.J. Clarke's proper.
James Turrell Transforms Guggenheim Into Something Wonderful
Not since Maurizio Cattelan dangled his entire oeuvre from the oculus has a single artist so transformed the Guggenheim's iconic interior into something all his own.
MoMA PS1: Warm Up 2013 is the Summer’s Best Dance Party!
Every Saturday afternoon, all summer long, the normally tranquil courtyard at MoMA PS1 explodes with music, joy, sweat, dancing, awesome design, cool water, beer, happy children, tasty food, good-looking grownups, art, and lots of laughter. That's right, it's Warm Up time again in Long Island City!
Moving to New York City Tips
[Updated] Here are some helpful moving to New York City tips for when you are ready to make the leap to the best city in the world…
Imran Qureshi Splatters The Met’s Roof Garden For This Summer’s Exhibition
After several summers of elaborate crowd pleasers on the Met's Roof Garden–think Tomas Saraceno's mirrored honeycomb Cloud City last year, and Doug and Mike Starn's soaring bamboo jungle Big Bambu in 2010, both of which almost felt like playground equipment, in a good way–the museum gets far more subdued (and totally 2D) in 2013 with […]
Tribeca’s Greek Restaurant, Thalassa, Continues To Impress
Sometimes it's a ton of fun to hit the most happening of hot spots for a night of drinks, dinner, loud laughter, glittery celeb-spotting (discretely, of course), tipsy friends. Carbone, Lafayette, The Butterfly (probably), those sorts of places. Other times? You want to have a conversation with a companion or three without shouting.
Chef Shane Lyons Opens New Tribeca Restaurant: Distilled NY
Veterans of David Chang's Momofuku empire have been opening a slew of terrific restaurants of late, including a pair of highly-recommended (if far-flung) operations, Chef Kevin Pemoulie's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, and Chef Peter Serpico's Serpico in Philadelphia. Much closer to home: Noodle Bar alum Chef Shane Lyons has given Tribeca, Batttery Park City, […]
