Best Indoor Activities in NYC: Bowling, Ping Pong, Pool & More!
January was brutal and, if those groundhogs are right, we still have many more weeks of wintery unpleasantness to come. Fortunately, the city has really upped its indoor fun game in the past five years or so, with a host of new, hip, clean-and-comfortable spots to indulge in all of your old-school rec-hall favorites. Here's a non-exhaustive […]
Super Bowl Boulevard Takes Over Times Square! Is it Worth a Visit?
You've probably already heard plenty about Super Bowl Boulevard, the half-mile-long (or so) stretch of Broadway between Herald and Times Squares that the city has closed off to cars and filled with every sort of heavily-sponsored NFL-related activities you can imagine. The idea, of course, is to give the tourists and ticket-holders something to do […]
Art Spiegelman and Marc Chagall Exhibitions at The Jewish Museum
January is always a great cultural catch-up month for me, when I can finally get to some of the movies, books, and art shows I missed during the social whirlwind of the holiday season. So far I've seen The Brooklyn Museum's exhibitions and MAD Museum's 3D Printing display, as well as a pair of first-rate exhibitions […]
A Look at The Future Second Avenue Subway Artwork in NYC
For residents on the Upper East Side, the Second Avenue Subway can't open soon enough (sure would have been nice during the blizzard this week when the M15 was a disaster, right?), both because the construction will finally be over and, most of all, because it will offer a new public transportation option, as well […]
Brooklyn Museum’s Current Exhibitions: Including The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier
When I finally made it over to The Brooklyn Museum recently, I discovered their fall/holiday-season shows (all ending soon!) are an impressive three-for-three winners. It's been a while since the much-loved museum was home to so many strong exhibitions at the same time! My favorite of all them has to be "From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk," a large, loud, […]
Best NYC Restaurants For Valentine’s Day 2014

It’s so important to pick the right place! So, to help guide your decision making, here are a few restaurants in NYC that have outstanding food and […]
Registration Open for Spring Classes at The Art Center in NYC
There is no shortage of toddler, preschool, extracurricular, and adult classes in this great big city of ours, but when you find a local place that consistently delivers high quality (and fun!) instruction at reasonable prices, well… you're in luck.
MAD Museum’s Current Exhibition Displays Cutting Edge 3D Printing
If you've ever wondered what this whole 3D printing thing is about–or, even better, if you're already pretty familiar with digital fabrication, and want to see to just how far the technology is being pushed right now–exploring the new Out of Hand exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design is a terrific way to […]
Throwback Alert! Rough Trade Opens Vinyl Records Mega-Store in NYC
Remember back in the 1980’s and, especially, the 1990’s, when those massive vinyl record stores opened up all over town–Tower Records, HMV, Virgin Megastore–and basically killed your favorite indie shop? Sure, I bought at the big-boxes once they arrived, but I also mourned the loss of places like Rocks In Your Head, Bleecker Bob's, and even […]
The Best Shops For Last-Minute Christmas Shopping in NYC
Once again I've left all of my Christmas shopping until the last minute… or, at least, until the last weekend, when it's too risky to shop online, and stores (and whole neighborhoods, ahem, Soho) should be crazy. But fun crazy! After all, it's Christmas, and you're buying things for people you love. Right? Right.
