Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity at the Met: Tourist Bait or Worthy Exhibition?
It sounds almost comically desperate, the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity show at the Met, an exhibition dreamed up by the museum's marketing and accounting departments. Like uploading a video of "cats and giggling babies doing the Harlem Shake AND Gangham Style" onto You Tube in a guns-blazing attempt to go viral.
Best Coffee in NYC; Kaffe 1668 and Hugh Jackman’s Laughing Man
We're not really hardcore coffee geeks here at the Glenwood blog, but we definitely know what we like… and what we don't. Stumptown, for instance, is always awesome, as is a cup of anything from Grumpy.
Breads Bakery; Best Bread Bakery in NYC, located in Union Square
It seems we're living in some sort of bakery golden age right now, a time when outstanding, bread-centric spots are opening up all over Manhattan. First came the Parisians, led by the amazing Eric Kayser and his eponymous Maison, which opened last summer on the Upper East Side, and where we still gorge whenever we're […]
El Anatsui: Gravity and Grace Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum
It's always nice to see the under-loved (and, to be honest, too-often underwhelming), Brooklyn Museum in NYC put on a great show, and Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui is exactly that, a true crowd pleaser that's engaging, provocative, playful, joyous, sublime.
Jean Michel Basquiat Street Art at Gagosian Chelsea Art Gallery
We love pretty much everything about Jean-Michael Basquiat, his art and his story. The teenage runaway turned NYC street artist, in the bad-old late-'70s days. Putting his Samo tag everywhere downtown turned him into a stratospheric art star in the 1980s. His extraordinarily prolific career ending in an instant one night in '88, dead from a […]
Pip’s Place; Gluten Free Bakery on the Upper East Side
It was 2006 when Erin McKenna opened up BabyCakes, slinging her amazing gluten-free (and vegan) baked goodies from a cute, tiny storefront on the Lower East Side. We first stumbled across BabyCakes about a year later, during intermission of a "Shakespeare In the Parking Lot" performance going on around the corner, and though we were […]
New York City’s Best Skate Parks, in Downtown Manhattan
Any skater worth his deck will tell you that the whole city is a skate park, with wallies and ollies, inverts and flips, slides and grinds just screaming to be tricked in public spaces all over town, "no skateboarding" signs be damned.

Making Room for Micro Apartments at the Museum of the City of NY
Sizes of the New York Micro Apartments can vary, but they usually fall anywhere between 250 and 325 square feet. They seem to be a sure-fire trend in NYC real estate in the coming years, and could even change the market here for good.
Father-Son Art In Chelsea: Hauser & Wirth’s Newest Exhibition, ‘Dieter Roth. Björn Roth’
Dieter Roth, the Swiss-German artist who died in 1998 and explored themes of decay, rot, and impermanence throughout his long, wild career–food left to fester, found objects to molder–is, somewhat ironically, perfectly positioned to have his creative legacy not only live on, but also to flourish.
