West Village Restaurant Swine NYC is Super-Meaty
Swine NYC, a West Village restaurant which opened about a month ago on Hudson Street, seems like it has all the elements in place to be packing 'em in for a meaty, boozy party this fall. It's run by West Village local John McNulty, who's done time at such first-rate spots as Jeffrey's and Cafe […]

Whole Foods NYC Opens its Midtown East Location on 57th Street
Residents of Glenwood's luxury rental apartment buildings, The Bristol and The Bamford: your life just got a whole lot easier. At least, the food-shopping part of your life. That's because Whole Foods Market in NYC has their newest location on 57th Street between Third and Second Avenues, in the also new 1.5-acre mixed-use "campus" that will soon be […]

Sugar and Plumm in the Upper West Side Brings the Savory & the Sweet
Sugar and Plumm first made itself known to its Upper West Side soon-to-be neighbors late last year when construction began on the 2,300-square-foot space, and a stretch of lavender-ish painted plywood stretched up nearly half the block. Not a little local outrage soon followed, with folks complaining about everything from the mall-ification of Amsterdam Avenue […]

Maison Kayser NYC: Eric Kayser’s Bakery on the Upper East Side
Maison Kayser NYC, the first American outpost of Parisian master baker Eric Kayser’s international empire of fanatically-adored boulangeries/patisseries/cafes (there are more than 80 all told, mostly in Paris, but also Tokyo, Moscow, Beruit, Athens, etc.), opened about a week ago on the Upper East Side, blocks away from a number of Glenwood’s Manhattan Upper East […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

MoMA PS1 2012: Warm Up 2012, Wendy by HWKN, and M. Wells
We love MoMA PS1 any time of year: the Museum of Modern Art's Long Island City outpost–just a stop or two away from Glenwood's luxury New York City apartments in Midtown Manhattan–not only consistently puts on interesting (if occasionally uneven) contemporary art exhibitions, but the building itself, a former NYC public school, is enormously appealing […]
