Amazing artwork alert: Lincoln Center opens Christian Marclay “The Clock” on July 13
About a year and a half ago, in February of 2011, Christian Marclay's spellbinding, 24-hour movie The Clock played to packed houses at the Paula Cooper Gallery, day after day and, on weekends, all through the night. Even at two in the morning, during one of the most relentlessly bitter winters in memory, hours-long lines […]
Christopher Boffoli Photography: Edible Words at Winston Wachter Fine Art
Ok, so this is just a fun idea, cleverly and, with their vibrant color schemes and soft focus, beautifully executed. Christopher Boffoli's new exhibition at Winston Wachter Fine Art in Chelsea is titled Edible Worlds, and the concept is simple: put tiny people on top of common fruits, veggies, baked goods, whatever, go in close […]
Photoville NYC 2012: An Exhibition at Brooklyn Bridge Park
There was so many fun things going on in the city last weekend (to sum it up: Le Grand Continental at the Seaport was totally endearing, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade was an absolute blast; the Staten Island Lumen Festival was not worth the ferry schlep, we had to skip Pride on Sunday to pull […]
Churchill: The Power of Words on Exhibit at the Pierpont Morgan Library
For history buffs, Anglophiles, and all appreciators of resonant, meaty language, Churchill: The Power of Words, now on exhibition at the lovely, under-visited-by-us Pierpont Morgan Library (which, by the way, features some of the most beautiful New York City Architecture), is pretty much a must-see. Because even if Winston Churchill wasn't an extremely influential figure […]
Summer Dance Parties in NYC: Dance in NYC
So you think you can dance? No matter what luxury Manhattan real estate you are located in, this is your chance! In addition to the great outdoor movie festivals in NYC, and free live music in NYC–Summerstage in Central Park, the River to River Festival NYC on both sides on the island, Celebrate Brooklyn in […]
Outdoor Movies NYC: Your Guide to NYC Free Summer Films
There are more free NYC street festivals, concert series, and NYC outdoor movies these days than we can keep track of, which is great news, of course, because what could be better than grabbing the kids, or a crew of friends, or that special someone and enjoying this beautiful city at night, outside, with top-notch […]
Governors Island opens FIGMENT Interactive Sculpture Park & Mini Golf
As far as we're concerned, you don't really need an extra-added-bonus reason to visit Governors Island this summer, beyond the usual appeal of leisurely bike rides (bring your own or rent at Bike and Roll "on-island"), and lovely views, and pleasant picnics. Of course, there are plenty of special events to tempt the non-converted to […]
Gustav Klimt: 150 Anniversary Fete at Upper East Side Neue Galerie
Throughout this whole year, in museums and galleries all over Austria, there have been exhibitions honoring the 150th birthday of one of the all time greats, native son Gustav Klimt. The Albertina, the Belvedere, the Kunsthistorisches, the Leopold, the Wien Museum… all are putting on shows that celebrate some aspect of Klimt's extraordinary, revolutionary art. […]
Park Avenue Armory Hosts Tom Sachs Art Installation “Space Program: Mars”
We admit it: we were more than a little skeptical about Tom Sach's Space Program: Mars, a sprawling, insanely detailed, enthusiastically immersive installation at the Park Avenue Armory. Not that we have anything against Mars, mind you, or space travel in general, or Tom Sachs, whose meticulous recreations of high-tech gear using low-tech materials have […]
Books of Wonder Kid’s Bookstore: Now With More Cookies! And Bacon!
Is Books of Wonder NYC's best children's book store? Possibly. Probably. Yes, ok: definitely. Because although it's been a bunch of years since we last brought our children to this pretty, airy Chelsea bookstore–it's both New York City's oldest and largest independent children's bookstore–as soon as we walked in the door last week nothing but […]
