Queens County Farm Events This Weekend Including the County Fair!
Envious of Iowans and their deep-fried sticks of butter? Didn’t think so. But still, it’d be fun to check out a full-blown County Fair–pies, carnival rides, pig races (!), vegetable stands, games, deep-fried Oreos (yup), hayrides, a maize maze (amazing!), you name it–on a beautiful fall day right here in the big town, yes? Enter […]
Claire Tow Theater is the Latest Makeover for the Lincoln Center in NYC
In its several-years-long makeover of its iconic home, Lincoln Center in NYC continues to nail it with Clair Tow Theater. So far this multi-faceted, many-leveled redesign has included Diller Scofidio + Renfro's beautiful re-do of Alice Tully Hall, with its bustling public space, both outside and in; the fabulous Illumination Lawn/Lincoln Restaurant/Elinor Bunin Munroe Film […]
Museum NYC, a Secret “Gallery” Space in the Financial District
This is so cool, one of those great hidden New York City things that you can show off to friends and family and out-of-town visitors for years to come and feel all underground and in-the-know. In fact, it's so cool that even if you go by yourself, and never tell anyone, it's STILL cool. It's […]
Friedrich Petzel Gallery’s Feverish Library: Art for Book Lovers!
The fall season is in full swing in the Chelsea gallery district, with more than 200 new exhibitions opening in the last two weeks. That's a lot of art to look at (with more to come next week!), and though we've already been twice, it'll take a few more visits to really soak it all […]
It’Sugar: An Ornate Candy Store in NYC’s Upper West Side
It seems unlikely that Upper West Siders–including you, residents of Glenwood's Grand Tier and Regent luxury rental apartment buildings–missed the opening of the insanely bright, loud (aesthetically and music-wise), and awkwardly spelled It'Sugar, a completely bonkers NYC candy store that starting slinging its sweets in mid-August on Broadway and can be seen from ten blocks […]
The Quay Brothers Bring Creep to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC
Need another good reason to go to Museum of Modern Art in Midtown NYC this fall? Look deep into the dark and disturbing heart of the Quay Brothers, whose work as avant garde stop-action animators, collagists and puppeteers has been given a fantastic–and fantastically creepy–career-spanning retrospective on the Museum of Modern Art's second floor, first […]
Fashion’s Night Out NYC 2012: A Chic Guide to September 6
First off–before getting into Fashion's Night Out 2012–you should know that, personally, we're not terribly fashionable, nor do we do a lot of shopping, nor know the difference between this designer bag and that designer shoe. There's nothing wrong with any of the above, it's just generally not a part of our lives. And yet, […]
Tatzu Nishi Brings Public Art to Columbus Circle in NYC
How many times have you been to (or, more likely, speedily passed through) Columbus Circle in NYC without even for a second looking up at the 13-foot-tall statue of the explorer that gives the place its name. Hundreds? Thousands? Well, Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi is about to change all that with his slightly bonkers but […]
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 […]
Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller: Murder of Crows, Park Avenue Armory
Here are the physical items that make up Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's Murder of Crows, an extraordinary audio installation now on "view" at the cavernous Park Avenue Armory: 98 speakers, 21 amplifiers, miscellaneous media, electronics, 1 computer, 1 desk, 1 horn speaker, 55 chairs. Seems kind of spare, right? Especially for that gigantic […]
