Manhattan Living
Picasso in Black and White at the Guggenheim Museum
The Guggenheim has always been one of our favorite venues to see blockbuster museum shows. Not only because we love the building, we love walking down the ramp (yes, down; never up), and getting a bit of self-inflected vertigo by peering over from the upper levels. We also love the Guggenheim for the buildings design. […]
Orchard Street NYC: Pickle Day 2012 Part of the Lower East Side Experience!

This Sunday, Orchard Street will celebrate its piece of NYC history with Pickle Day 2012. The 11-year-old festival celebrates the […]
Jacob’s Pickles: Diamond in the Rough for Upper West Side Restaurants
What was the most surprising thing about our massive feast the other night at Jacob's Pickles in NYC, which has been open for almost a year now on the Upper West Side? No, it wasn't that our food—ordered from all over the Jacob's Pickles menu—was so good, the huge plates of classic comfort dishes prepared […]
This Weekend: Conflux Festival at NYU
The Conflux Festival is here again..in fact, it's this weekend, October 20-21. Right off the bat we'll say that we haven't been to any of the previous nine Conflux Festivals, so we don't know what to expect. But it SOUNDS like something we'll enjoy. The festival is an annual gathering of urban adventurers, artists, musicians, […]
Pig and Khao: Top Chef Leah Cohen’s New Lower East Side Restaurant
File this under: "totally worth the trip." Pig and Khao is Top Chef star Leah Cohen's recently opened Lower East side restaurant on Clinton Street that it is both intriguing and delicious.

High Line Events for October: Yes! Soup for You!!
No need to explain what the High Line is, right? This magnificently created and constructred walkway on the West Side has attracted millions of walkers, art lovers, street performers, runners, baby carriage pushers and many other pedestrian types since 2009. As impressive as the restoration of this former rail structure is, it is the seemingly constant […]
Glenwood Barclay Tower First High Rise to Utilize Energy Saving Solutions from Demand Energy

92Y Tribeca: Newer, Hipper Than the Original
Four years ago, the 92nd Street YMCA, a great Upper East Side cultural center, shifted all of its Makor program's offerings for "twenty-somethings" to a sleek new outpost downtown, right on the northern edge of Tribeca. It was a risky move but since then, the 92Y Tribeca has thrived, offering the institution's trademark eclectic array […]
Vegan Divas Bakery Serves Excellent Sweets on the Upper East Side
Frequent readers of the Glenwood blog will know we love bakeries. And so we approached with some trepidation the notion of an all-vegan bakery. If you're thinking, like we did, "Vegan doughnuts? Why bother?" then you've probably never tried the little beauties now being served in the cute new bakery/coffee-spot, Vegan Divas. Founded by the […]
Aquafit Chef Marcus Samuelsson Opens Restaurant at Lincoln Center
In his smart, highly entertaining memoir "Yes, Chef," the internationally renowned Marcus Samuelsson–who, at the age of 24, earned three stars from the Times as Executive Chef at Aquavit, and then went on to open the acclaimed, packed-nightly Red Rooster in Harlem, a Glenwood favorite–does two things especially well. First, he brings to life his […]
