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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
