The Brooklyn Flea Markets: The New Williamsburg Flea Market
We've had a ton of fun–and eaten a lot of good food–at the Brooklyn Flea's Fort Greene location several times already this summer, but last weekend was our first foray into the great market's Williamsburg digs. The Brooklyn Flea's formula is much the same here, offering up sellers of interesting vintage wares (from dining room […]
Mini Golf in Manhattan (and more!) at Pier 25
Ok, so it's August, but don't panic: there's still PLENTY of time to do all those great Summer in the City things that make this our favorite time of year. And if "playing mini golf in Manhattan" was on your summer must-do list, like it was on ours, you are sooooo going to love Pier […]
A New Beautiful Lincoln Center Movie Theater
Welcome, the new Lincoln Center movie theater… welcome to Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, to the Upper West Side, to New York City, a new Lincoln Center cinema. We've been waiting a long time for another state-of-the-art theater to open up in this town, one that shows first-run indies and documentaries, and has comfortable stadium […]
MoMA PS1 Warm Up: Holding Pattern by Interboro Partners
One of the New York City's best–and certainly one of its liveliest–summer traditions kicked off last Saturday with the launch of MoMA PS1 Warm Up always-a-blast music and dance party. Here's how it works: every Saturday between now and September 3, from around 2:00 in the afternoon until 9:00 at night, MoMA PS1 turns its […]
Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty at the Met FINAL WEEKS
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, a generous expansive, provocative, and wildly entertaining fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has been drawing huge crowds since it opened in early May, and will undoubtedly continue to do so until it closes in just a few weeks, on August 7, which is a week later than the Met had originally planned, to try and satisfy the overwhelming demand.
The High Line New York Section 2 Opens
NYC's beloved High Line opened its hugely anticipated half-mile extension this week, giving us all 10 more blocks of glorious High Line goodness, including a lovely new lawn, pictured above! We were fortunate enough to get an early afternoon viewing yesterday, and are pleased to report that the extension is every bit as spectacular as the original.
Coney Island Opens New Scream Zone Amusement Park
We head out to Coney Island, New York at least a couple of times each summer, for the beach (we go where all the Russians go, toward Brighton); and the scene on the boardwalk, which is always teeming with characters; and to walk through the Coney Island amusement park in all of its iterations over the years; and to ride the world-famous, loud and rickety Cyclone roller coaster (sometimes); and to only-once but never-again eat Nathan's hot dogs, which are just gross.
Pablo Picasso, John Chamberlain: Gagosian Gallery Exhibits
Art dealer and gallery owner superstar Larry Gagosian continues to delight and amaze us with his world-class, museum-quality exhibitions at his galleries both on the Upper East Side and downtown, in Chelsea. Gagosian Gallery's latest triumphs are a pair of blockbuster shows: "Picasso and Marie-Therese: L'Amour Fou", on 21st Street, and "John Chamberlain: New Work", […]
Governors Island NYC 2011: Mini-Golf and Mark di Suvero Sculptures
Governors Island in NYC has definitely become one of the premier summertime daycation destinations, for leisurely strolling or biking or scooting and taking in those beautiful views; for picnicking and relaxing and playing on the huge main lawn, the Parade Ground; for engaging in any number of the participatory activities that have become part of […]
Anthony Caro Sculptures at the MET Roof Garden
For at least a decade now, one of our most-anticipated New York City springtime rituals has been to find a warm sunny afternoon, grab a friend or three, and head on over to the great and glorious MET Roof Garden to see the new sculptures/installations that'll be gracing the space all summer long. And while […]
