Things to Do in Brooklyn This Weekend: Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg
Brooklyn attractions are many but for my money, one of the most fun things to do in Brooklyn on the weekend is experiencing Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg. For the past few years, the great Brooklyn Flea and its also-great foodie spin-off Smorgasburg have become something of an institution in New York City. Open now and […]
New York Yankee Stadium; The New Way to Experience Baseball
In 2009, both of New York City's beloved/hated (depending) baseball teams started their seasons in spanking-new stadiums. Citi Field replaced the 45-year-old Shea Stadium as home to the Amazin' Mets, and when I went for the first time last year I was pretty blown away by what is clearly the new trend in sports entertainment, […]
Claes Oldenburg Sculptures and Pop Art Exhibition at MoMA
Claes Oldenburg, whom the New York Times recently called "one of the last surviving giants of Pop Art", has made a career of creating true showstoppers.
James Nares’ Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
One of the most important unwritten rules of living in this magnificent, packed-like-sardines city is that, even in the most crowded of our public spaces (which is all of them), we don't intrude upon each other's privacy. We don't make eye contact for too long on the subway, or stare into each other's windows. For […]
Roman Vishniac and Chim Photography at International Center of Photography
The title of the International Center of Photography's excellent, career-long retrospective of the great photographer Roman Vishniac, "Rediscovered", is a bit puzzling at first. After all, Vishniac's A Vanished World, published in 1983, has been one of the bestselling photography books of all time, its record of Jewish life in Eastern Europe on the eve […]
Kenny Scharf Art, Donuts, and Merchandise at Paul Kasmin Gallery in NYC
Even if the name isn’t ringing a bell, you probably recognize Kenny Scharf’s distinctive, cartoony style. After all, Scharf’s an SVA grad who has been showing in galleries and museums all over town–and all over the world–since the early 1980s.

NYC Museum Opens New Exhibit; Tenement Museum Unveils Shop Life
It had been a few years since we last checked in with the terrific Tenement Museum in NYC; we'd gone twice in the late-aughts to what they now call the Sweatshop Workers tour. We took the trip with our kids and some out-of-town guests, and highly recommend it. But with the opening last month of […]
Bill Brandt Photography at MoMa; Shadow and Light exhibition
England's Bill Brandt is certainly one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, a journalist and artist whose brilliant compositions, combined with his love of everyday subject matter, helped redefine the medium and spark the modernist movement. Which is laudable and important and all that, but more to the point, Brandt's photographs–of London […]
Madison Square Park Art; Topsy-Turvy Camera Obscura Installation
Want to see the beautiful, historic Flatiron building in a new/old light? Just last week the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s excellent public art group Mad. Sq. Art opened the latest large-scale installation to grace its grounds, a giant Camera Obscura which visitors can enter and marvel at the old-timey magic this simple device delivers.
