Madison Square Eats: An NYC Food Festival Across from Madison Square Park
Whether we’re in the mood for gorging or grazing, the great Madison Square Eats has quickly become one of our favorite fall festivals (see also: one of favorite spring festivals). No surprise, really. Madison Square Eats is centrally located in Worth Square, next to Madison Square Park, in the shadow of the Criterion Building to […]

NYC Bike Share demonstrations going on all of October!
A Bike Sharing Program for NYC Starting Next Summer The basics of Bike Share NYC are this: starting next summer hundreds of NYC Bikes will appear at dozens of self-service, solar-powered "docking stations" in hub-ish locations throughout Manhattan (below 79th Street) and in northwest Brooklyn, quickly expanding to other neighborhoods in all five boroughs if (when!) Bike Share NYC is deemed a success. New York's bike sharing program members members pay annual dues which, says the NYC Department of Transportation, will be "less that a monthly Metrocard", and can use any bike at any Bike Share NYC docking station for an unlimited number of 30- to 45-minute rides. Short term membership (daily, ride-based, etc.) will also be available. What Bike Share NYC is best at is giving you a pleasant, healthy, super-speedy alternative to using buses and subways and especially, providing convenient transportation to parts of town that are under-served by the MTA, such as the far west and east sides.
The National 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center Site
You think you're prepared for the National 9/11 Memorial, which has been open to the public for a couple of weeks now at the World Trade Center site: you've seen the photographs and videos, you've read the descriptions and accounts, you've steeled yourself emotionally. But you're not prepared… not really. Or, at least, that how […]
de Kooning: A Retrospective at the MoMA
The MoMA unveils the first big NYC museum show of the season, and it's a doozy. de Kooning: A Retrospective, now at the Museum of Modern Art, is a huge exhibition, taking up the MoMA's entire sixth floor with almost 200 of de Kooning's paintings, as well as some prints, drawings and sculptures. As the […]
Richard Serra Junction & Cycle at Gagosian Chelsea NYC Gallery
Two New Richard Serra Sculptures installed at Larry Gagosian Chelsea Gallery As usual, Larry Gagosian offers up the biggest show in Chelsea, NYC to start off the fall season. And we mean that literally: the biggest. Also: the heaviest, by about a gigaton or two. Yes, Richard Serra is working his usual massive-rusted-steel-plates magic here […]
David Byrne: Tight Spot and Social Media, at Pace Gallery in Chelsea
The Chelsea gallery fall season is now in full swing, and last night we were lucky enough to attend one of the coolest openings in town, the panel discussion and party for music legend / author / conceptual artist / bicycle advocate David Byrne's dramatic sound and sculptural installation Tight Spot, as well the excellent […]
9/11 memorial 10th Anniversary Photography Exhibition: here is new york: Revisited” at SVA until September 17
Ten years ago, just two weeks after September 11, 2001 a storefront on Prince Street was transformed almost on-the-fly into a remarkable photography exhibition, taken and donated by amateurs and professionals alike, of the attacks of that terrifying morning on 9/11, and in those strange, horrible days that followed. You could buy prints of any […]
Jane’s Carousel Opening Next Week Under the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC
For more than 20 years, Brooklyn artist Jane Walentas has been overseeing the meticulous restoration of 48 wooden horses, a stable-full of palominos, bays, and ponies that first began saddling up back in 1922, in Youngstown, Ohio, and then on Water Street in DUMBO, until Walentas took them into rehab in 1984. Next week, on […]
Dekalb Market in Downtown Brooklyn: good food, unusual stores, lots of fun!
Add the friendly, neatly-designed, packed-with-tasty-treats Dekalb Market to your list of fun things to do in Brooklyn. Launched this summer on a vacant lot near the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn (and, thus, near many subway lines), the Dekalb Market is different from all of the other excellent markets that have been cropping up these […]
