Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective at the Guggenheim
Rineke Dijkstra, the Dutch photographer whose excellent, at times deeply affecting (and at other times more than a little amusing) retrospective is currently on view at the Guggenheim Museum NYC, was once asked why she so often uses teenagers as the subjects of her work. Dijkstra explained that since they "they have no defined image […]
The Post-Olympic City Art Exhibit by Gary Hustwit and Jon Pack
The Olympics are, obviously, totally front-of-mind right this second, both because of all of glory, etc., going on in London and, more hypothetically, because of our frequent imaginings of what might have been, had New York City been awarded these games. Would it have been good for the city? Would it have been fun for […]
From Murray’s Cheese Shop in NYC, Murray’s Cheese Bar is Born
The magnificent Murray's Cheese Shop, ever-expanding on Bleecker Street and one of the best food stores in all of New York City, teams up with one of our long-time favorite fromagers Tia Keenan (of Hells Kitchen's Casellula renown) to create a lively, inexpensive cafe where every item on the menu oozes awesome cheese? In a word: […]
ABV Wine Bar NYC: Pouring Itself Into the Upper East Side Restaurant Scene
Last year chef Corey Cova came out of nowhere and, along with owners Michael Cesari and Adam Clark, opened Earl’s Beer and Cheese, somehow sneaking some good, interesting beer, a menu of creative, first-rate food, AND not a little bit of cool into a neighborhood that could definitely use more of all three, right there […]
Chobani Soho: Greek Yogurt Café Starts New Trend in NYC
It was inevitable, we suppose, after the Great Frozen Yogurt Invasion of the late-aughts sort of fizzled out (remember when it seemed like a Pinkberry, or a Red Mango, or any number of imitators–Berrywild, anyone? Yolato?–was popping up on every corner?), that the secret world yogurt cabal* would seek a new delivery system for their […]
The Department of Transportation’s NYC Summer Streets 2012
Frankly, we wish every Saturday could be an NYC Summer Streets Saturday, with the city’s great boulevards closed to vehicular traffic, and wide open for strolling and cycling and skating and whatever else you’d like to to do in the middle of Park Avenue New York and/or Lafayette Street New York. BUT, with that said, […]
The Best New York City Classes for Kids and Parents
We're always trying to find that balance, as parents here in New York City, between making sure our children take full advantage of everything this great town has to offer, exposing them to new and different things because, who knows, they might find their life's great passion (or, at least, have some fun!), but also […]
Brooklyn Academy of Music Can Boast Cafe Habana Outpost & The Smoke Joint
If you're heading out to the Brooklyn Academy of Music anytime soon, or, say, sometime this fall for their just-announced 30th-annual Next Wave Festival, you're going to want to eat something while you're there, either before or after the show. And, sure, there are more and more good casual restaurants in the immediate area, so […]
Yayoi Kusama Art Now at The Whitney Museum of American Art
We were definitely late to the Yayoi Kusama party, only having "discovered" this deeply troubled, deeply talented artist in 2006, at an exhibition at Robert Miller in Chelsea (which, by the way, is why we love strolling through the Chelsea gallery district, because you never know what you might find behind the next frosted-glass door). […]
Harry’s Italian Pizza Bar: Old Fashioned Square Pizza in Battery Park City
It's been called Goldman Alley, that passageway between Murray Street and Vesey Street in Battery Park City, a reference, of course, to the retail- and restaurant-explosion sparked by (insisted upon by?) the Goldman Sachs headquarters that recently opened at the north end of this community. Newly-covered in a clever, tiled-glass canopy–designed by Preston Scott Cohen […]
