Now Dig This! African-American Artists at MoMA PS1
Los Angeles didn’t have an easy go of it during the 1960s and 70s. Like many American cities of the time it experienced two tumultuous decades marked by urban decay, riots and the increasing cultural, economic and political strength of previously ignored individuals and communities. No surprise, then that much of the urban art […]
New York City Ice Skating at the Standard Hotel
The Standard Hotel Ice Rink, located below New York’s popular High Line Park in the Meatpacking District, is by no means the largest ice skating rink in town. Measuring just 3,000 square feet, this is not the surface on which to fine tune your Olympic skating skills. However, the Standard Hotel ice rink is […]
Chelsea Art Galleries Exhibit Chuck Close and The Ozymandias Parade
Hurricane Sandy’s terrible storm surge hit the West Chelsea art gallery district hard. It completely flooded the half-mile of West 20th to 29th streets between 10th and 11th Avenues. The small but chic neighborhood is home to literally hundreds of contemporary downtown art galleries. As a result of the hurricanes water damage, countless artwork, […]

Martha Rosler’s Meta-Monumental Garage Sale at the MoMA
Everything's Clean, Nothing's Guaranteed at This Garage Sale in NYC This is a blast; the most fun we’ve had shopping in years.

High Line Public Art and Treasure Hunt
We’ve always loved the High Line year round in all seasons. This year, the Friends of the High Line stepped up their food, family, and NYC public-art events in Chelsea. Consequently our fondness for this unique communal space has only grown stronger. The latest example of the creative use of the space is Richard Artwchwager’s […]
Picasso in Black and White at the Guggenheim Museum
The Guggenheim has always been one of our favorite venues to see blockbuster museum shows. Not only because we love the building, we love walking down the ramp (yes, down; never up), and getting a bit of self-inflected vertigo by peering over from the upper levels. We also love the Guggenheim for the buildings design. […]
Orchard Street NYC: Pickle Day 2012 Part of the Lower East Side Experience!

This Sunday, Orchard Street will celebrate its piece of NYC history with Pickle Day 2012. The 11-year-old festival celebrates the […]
This Weekend: Conflux Festival at NYU
The Conflux Festival is here again..in fact, it's this weekend, October 20-21. Right off the bat we'll say that we haven't been to any of the previous nine Conflux Festivals, so we don't know what to expect. But it SOUNDS like something we'll enjoy. The festival is an annual gathering of urban adventurers, artists, musicians, […]
High Line Events for October: Yes! Soup for You!!
No need to explain what the High Line is, right? This magnificently created and constructred walkway on the West Side has attracted millions of walkers, art lovers, street performers, runners, baby carriage pushers and many other pedestrian types since 2009. As impressive as the restoration of this former rail structure is, it is the seemingly constant […]
