Simit and Smith: Turkish Bagels Come to the Upper West Side
Ok, let's just get this part out of the way first: if you're like 94.5% of the people in this town and have strong opinions about bagels and their varying degrees of goodness and New York-ness, don't go into Simit and Smith thinking these guys are trying to reinvent our city's beloved breakfast bread.
Apartment Storage Solutions for NYC: Your home as a bento box?
[Updated] When The New York Times posted this story–and, most especially, the accompanying slideshow–about Tomoko and Kimio Akiyoshi's compact (1,400 square feet) yet exceedingly clever Noho apartment, it became an immediate internet sensation… at least, among architecture and design bloggers, tweeters and the like.
Canstruction NYC 2013 at Winter Garden through February 11!
Every year since 1993, Canstruction NYC has brought together some of the city's finest architecture, engineering, and design firms to construct elaborate, often playful structures made entirely from cans of food.
New York February Events; Makes it the Sweetest Month in NYC
We say it every year, but that doesn't mean it gets any less true: just when winter starts to get intolerable around here in the big town, two of our favorite sweet-treat festivals kick in, saving us from seasonal misery disorder. Instead? Seasonal smiles all around, thanks to the great Clinton Street Baking Co.'s "February […]
Build-Your-Own-Burger at Burger Bistro on the Upper East Side
In the summer of 2010, long-time buddies and restaurant veterans, John Agnello and Vincent Dardanell, opened their first Burger Bistro, on 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. Their fully-customizable, build-your-own-burger concept quickly proved to be a hit.
Inventing Abstraction; Abstract Art Exhibition at the MoMA
We take for granted that a piece of art doesn't have to be of something. In fact, abstract art is such an entrenched part of mainstream culture that it's hard to imagine a time when people wouldn't paint anything that wasn't representing a person, or an object, or a landscape in the real world. It […]
Grand Central Centennial; 100 Year Celebration on February 1st
There's no shortage of topics that New Yorkers are happy to argue about, from where to get the best bagels to who was here first for that cab to whether the Knicks are going to choke or actually make a run of it this year. But if there's one we all can agree upon, both […]
David Shrigley’s Signs at Anton Kern Gallery in Chelsea NYC
Three months ago the Chelsea gallery district was slammed by Sandy, with catastrophic flooding causing millions of dollars in damage, wrecking the area's infrastructure, and effectively shutting down the entire half-mile length of the cultural institution which, with its more than 400 separate art galleries, houses one of the largest and most important concentrations of […]
Get in on Levy’s Unique New York Freeze Tag Fun on Wall St NYC
If you grew up in the suburbs, you know how awesome it was to play all sorts of crazy games with a big pack of neighborhood kids, often in someone's backyard or even better, right out there on the street. Spud. Kickball. Stickball. Ding Dong Ditch (aka Ring and Run). Flashlight tag. Freeze tag. Blob […]
Sinister Pop at the Whitney; Exploring the Dark Side of Pop Art
You can't help but feel a little wary of the Whitney's big holiday-season show, Sinister Pop. Not because it sounds too spooky or anything, but the exhibition definitely has the whiff of a shameless attendance-grab. After all, pop art is pretty much a sure thing at museums these days (witness the mobs at the Met […]
