5 Memorial Day Weekend Ideas: Memorial Day Activities Across NYC
Staying local in NYC this weekend? Same here! And while we love heading out to points east every once in a while (especially: Ditch Plains, Montauk), there's also something extremely satisfying about hanging city-side on these big, summer holiday weekends – and Memorial Day weekend starts it all off. Basically: there are more fun things […]
Tomás Saraceno’s Cloud City on the Metropolitan Museum of Art Roof Garden
You know it's almost summer when the Metropolitan Museum of Art opens up its fabulous Roof Garden once again, complete with amazing Central Park views, snack and cocktail bar (the Met Roof Garden New York is always an excellent spot for a date, or to bring out-of-town visitors), sunshine and breezes, and, of course, the […]
CitiBike: Bike Rental NYC Locations Announced & Other NYC Bike Rental Ideas
The big news in bike riding last week: the NYC Bike Share program–set to launch in July and now officially called CitiBike–released the initial map of their bike "dock" locations… and there are MILLIONS of them! Well, not really millions… but there are an amazing number of docks, smartly situated near all major (and less-major) […]
Ernesto Neto: Slow iis goood at Chelsea’s Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
There's art that you stand and admire (or not, as the case may be) from a distance… and then there's the stuff Ernesto Neto does. The Brazilian sculptural-installation-ist Ernesto Neto has become something of an art star in this town these past few years, especially after his sensual crowd-pleaser Anthropodino–the New York Times called the […]
Fulton Fish Market Neighbor New Amsterdam Market Now Open for the Summer
The New Amsterdam Market, located right by the old Fulton Fish Market in the South Street Seaport area, reopened last Sunday for the season, which is good news indeed for all New Yorkers, but especially for downtown Glenwood residents (in both the Barclay Tower and Tribeca Bridge Tower), and especially ESPECIALLY for Glenwoodians fortunate enough […]
This Side of Paradise: The Andrew Freedman Home in the South Bronx
For the urban adventurers among you, this is a great plan: hop on the 4 train, or the D train, and head up to the South Bronx, just one stop past Yankee Stadium. There you'll find a massive old limestone mansion, the Andrew Freedman Home, built by decree of its namesake's last will and testament […]
London’s Frieze Art Fair makes its NYC debut next weekend on Randall’s Island!
When Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, the co-founders of London's huge (and hugely influential… AND hugely fun) Frieze Art Fair decided to bring their fabulous spectacle across the Atlantic, they chose to forgo the insanity of NYC Armory Art Fair weekend and set up camp at a location, and at a time, all their own. […]
Rafael Barrios Sculptures on the Park Avenue Mall
For about a month now the great Venezuelan sculptor Rafael Barrios has been messing with people's minds in the heart of Manhattan with his series of ingenious, geometric pieces that are, basically, 20-foot-high optical illusions. Right in center of Park Avenue! The city has had a terrific run of interesting, unexpected public art projects (most […]
Dinner and a Movie NYC Guide: Lincoln Plaza Cinema
Because we love nothing more than the classic dinner-and-a-movie night on the town, here is part three of Glenwood’s Dinner-and-a-Movie Guide, each installment featuring a movie theater we frequent and an array of personally recommended, close-by dining options, from quick-bite places to more serious dining spots. This week: Lincoln Plaza Cinema (photo by bonez007), in the Lincoln’s […]
Coney Island New York: New Luna Park Wonder Wheel & Other Theme Parks
Yes, even with all of this freakishly amazing weather we've been having, it is still too early in the season to embark upon a big, classic beach day. Which is why it's the PERFECT time to head on out from your downtown Manhattan apartment to Coney Island New York, before the post-Memorial Day mobs clog up the […]
