Amazing artwork alert: Lincoln Center opens Christian Marclay “The Clock” on July 13
About a year and a half ago, in February of 2011, Christian Marclay's spellbinding, 24-hour movie The Clock played to packed houses at the Paula Cooper Gallery, day after day and, on weekends, all through the night. Even at two in the morning, during one of the most relentlessly bitter winters in memory, hours-long lines […]

A Private Pool in Manhattan: Private Swimming Pools are a Surprisingly Rare Luxury
They are marketed prominently by many of New York City’s newest breed of rental and condo towers, and with good reason: swimming pools in residential buildings remain an exceptionally rare luxury, especially in Manhattan.

East River Esplanade: Stunning New York Waterfront Views
The East River Esplanade–or, check that: the first two-block waterfront stretch of the $165.9 million East River Esplanade–was officially opened last week (and unofficially a couple of weeks before that), and it is, in a word, fantastic. Beautifully designed and landscaped by Ken Smith of Ken Smith Landscape Architect, and Gregg Pasquarelli of SHoP Architects, […]
