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 […]
Ryoji Ikeda: The Transfinite at the Park Avenue Armory
It's one of the great spaces in town, the cavernous Wade Thompson Drill Hall at the historic Park Avenue Armory, but it's also been a bit of challenge for the Arts at the Armory curators to find the right artist, with the right idea, to take full advantage of the massive room. Fortunately, Ryoji Ikeda's […]
ICFF in New York 2011: Wrapping up Design Week
Last weekend the 24th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York took over the Jacobs Javits Center… and even THAT massive space couldn't contain what has become one of the world's premiere celebrations of the most innovative industrial designers and their beautiful, amazing, ridiculous, brilliant, jaw-dropping creations. And so the ICFF has spawned NYC […]
Hester Street Fair in NYC 2011
The lively, fun and, especially, the TASTY (if also: the crowded and prone-to-sell-out-by-3:00) Hester Street Fair in NYC is opened for its second season last Saturday, and was greeted with enormous enthusiasm by throngs of the hungry from all over town. Yes, the fair edition, still does have plenty of unique and talented craftspeople and […]
Jaume Plensa: Echo (aka “the Big Head”) in Madison Square Park
The curators at Madison Square Park have done it again. Assembled and unveiled just last week, the park's latest summer-long art installation is called Echo, it's by the great Jaume Plensa, and it is a brilliant and beautiful addition that will keep watch over the park's main lawn between now and mid August. Jaume Plensa […]
The John Jay Playground in NYC: Newly Designed and Renovated on the Upper East Side
It's always good news when any New York City playground, in any neighborhood, gets lots of new equipment, and a new surface, and new benches and landscaping. But for residents of the Upper East Side and, especially, for residents of Glenwood's elegant Pavilion, on 77th and York, it is GREAT news that the city just […]
NYC Festival of Ideas for the New City: Fun, Interesting, Unique Event May 4 – 8
This sounds like it's going to be great. The NYC Festival of Ideas for the New City, anchored by the New Museum on Bowery but involving dozens of organizations large and small and sprawling throughout the Village, Soho, the Lower East Side, and Chinatown, is just the sort of ambitious, innovative, creative, and, most of […]
