Alison Knowles & Jessica Higgins Make a Salad at High Line Park NYC
Here's a potentially great way to spend your Sunday late morning/early afternoon, if you enjoy any of the following: eating salad, the High Line Park NYC, live music, communal events, watching someone make salad (ok, so that one's kind of esoteric), Mozart, performance art, people watching, spending time outdoors on a lovely Spring day (fingers […]
Upper East Side Gyms: Three Great “Boutique” Workout Spaces
Like just about any neighborhood in Manhattan these days, there are terrific Upper East Side gyms, including big-name brands like Equinox and Reebok, New York Health and Racquet Club and the similarly named New York Sports Club, all with weight rooms and high-tech machines, on-site trainers and classes galore. There's also the great community-oriented programs […]
Kembra Pfahler Wanders Claude Monet’s Gardens: Downtown on The Bowery
Fifteen, twenty years ago, if someone asked you to go downtown to the Bowery to see an exhibition at a place called The Hole, you would be forgiven if the invitation gave you pause. Today, of course, things are different–WAY different–on NYC's one-time Skid Row, as time has given way to luxury highrise manhattan apartment […]
Dinner and a Movie NYC Guide: IFC Center NYC Edition
Because we love nothing more than the classic dinner and a movie night on the town, here’s is part two 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 NYC dining. Last week we […]
Artist Liu Bolin the Invisible Man at Eli Klein Fine Art
For several years now, Chinese artist Liu Bolin's disappearing act has happened in plain sight. Initially a reaction to the Chinese government shutting down his studio ("they want me to be invisible, I'll be invisible") as well as other, state-sanctioned repressive actions directed at his colleagues, artist Liu Bolin's extraordinary works of public camouflage have […]
Where Can I Buy Girl Scout Cookies in NYC? Girl Scout Cookies “Stores” in Manhattan
What is your favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies? Samoas, right? Ok, that was too easy…. I mean, aside from the odd Thin Mints afficionado, or the even odder Do-si-do peanut-butter freak, Samoas clearly rule the Girl Scout Cookie universe, which is where we all live this time of year IF we're lucky enough to […]
Now at the Guggenheim Museum NYC: John Chamberlain: Choices
As more than one writer has already noted, at first glance the John Chamberlain retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum looks as if they staged some sort of disastrous funny-car rally down the Guggenheim's signature spiral ramp, the wreckage in each gallery perhaps awaiting a tow. But of course, as any fan of artist John Chamberlain's […]
Photography Exhibtion in Midtown Manhattan: Cindy Sherman at the MoMA
For Glenwood Residents living in our Midtown Manhattan apartments, this photography exhibition is must see. Actually, it is must see for everyone, especially after you've finished taking in all the art of New York Art Fair Weekend. The huge, career-spanning Cindy Sherman retrospective that just opened at the Museum of Modern Art was certainly one of the […]
New York Art Fair Weekend 2012: Where to Go & What to See
Contemporary art enthusiasts, prepare to be completely overwhelmed. This coming weekend is, once again (time flies etc.) New York Art Fair Weekend 2012, one of our personal favorite rites of (pre-) Spring. This year there seems to be at least ten different contemporary art fairs going starting now and extending through Sunday, and though YOU […]
The Ungovernables are in Downtown Manhattan; 2012 New Museum Triennial
New Museum NYC Goes Global: 34 Artists Converge Downtown A nice counterpoint to the upcoming, always-heavily-hyped Biennial at the Whitney Museum, the much-appreciated if too-often-underwhelming New Museum on Bowery just unveiled The Ungovernables, a triennial survey of the state of global contemporary art, opening up all of its gallery space to some 34 artists, artist […]
