Asphalt Green: NYC’s Premier Sports and Fitness Club SPECIAL OFFER for Glenwood Residents Only!
It's one of the great perks of Gracie Point/Upper East Side living, the easy access we have to the world-class sports, training, and fitness facilities at Asphalt Green. Seriously: with its playing fields, ball courts, gyms, 50-meter Olympic standard pool AND warm-water exercise pool, all spread out rather luxuriously across a well-maintained, five-and-a-half acre campus, Asphalt Green in […]
Christian Marclay: The Clock at Paula Cooper in Chelsea
Christian Marclay's 24-hour film The Clock, playing for just another week or so at the Paula Cooper Gallery in Chelsea, is, without a doubt, the most totally brilliant things we've seen in years. Funny and engaging, consistently surprising and creative, technically flawless, Marclay's The Clock takes a wonderfully simple idea–create a montage of clips from, literally, thousands of […]
The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria: Expanded, Updated, Redesigned, Reopened
After two mostly shuttered years, $67 million, an expansion in size to some 100,000 square feet, and lots of discussion about what, exactly, should be the mission of the institution as a whole, The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria finally reopened its newly gleaming doors about a week ago. And, after a couple […]
Chelsea Gallery Art: Nathan Harger at Hasted Kraeutler
Pickings were a little slim as we strolled through Chelsea art galleries last weekend, as they often are this time of year. The big crowd-pleasing shows of the holiday season were mostly gone (though Brice Marden is still up at Matthew Marks, and will be through the 22nd), and many galleries were either in "Closed […]
Bryant Park Movies: Outdoor Film Fun Starts THIS WEEKEND
Our by-now favorite New York City ice skating rink, the pretty (and free! sort of…*) Citi Pond at Bryant Park is still open for another month or so, until February 27, so if you haven't gone gliding around the oval yet–the towers of midtown creating a cozy, canyon-esque feel to the proceedings; the grand, […]
Open House Gallery in NYC Presents Park Here: A Temporary Indoor Park in Nolita
Ok, it sounds kind of cheesy, but this place is actually pretty amazing. Park Here, on Mulberry Street in Nolita, is what might be this town's first-ever pop-up park, a meandering, temporary greenspace that somehow manages to warm and comfort and relax even though the entire thing–the trees, the grass, the bushes, the birds […]
Bowlmor Lanes NYC & Other Mega-Alleys
Indoor winter activities in New York City during which you can laugh and get loud AND eat and drink AND are equally fun and appropriate for all ages? Well, there's bowling and, um… bowling in NYC! Seriously, if you're looking for something different to do with a crowd after work, or a place to take […]
Edward Hopper and His Times at the Whitney Museum
The Whitney digs into its vast Edward Hopper art holdings–and adds a few fresh pieces on loan–for this minor-feeling exhibition. Hopper fanatics won't want to miss it, but with several other great museum shows currently in town, is it worth the trip for the casual appreciator?
Kenny Scharf Artist Mural on the Houston Street Wall
It’s quickly become one of our favorite public art spaces: “the Wall” on Houston Street (formerly the “Deitch Wall”, now curated by the Hole Gallery), right around the corner from Bowery, and, in case you’re hungry, across the street from Pulino’s Bar & Pizzeria. In the past year or so the space, all 17′ x 50′ of […]
Three Cool Holiday Shopping Pop Ups
Upper West Side: Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store Ann Lopatin, aka Annie Lo, has a good eye and an even better sense of fun, both of which are everywhere in evidence in this spacious Upper West Side version of her beloved Brooklyn "Urban General Store". In true holiday shopping pop up style, the space […]
