L.A.’s Family Bookstore Hosts Thirty Days NY
We've never been, but everything we've ever heard about Family bookstore in West Hollywood, we love: the cool parties and events; the commitment to local artists, designers, writers and musicians; the excellent selection of books and related products, whether obscure or known, dyi or big press, graphic or wordy. Now Family brings its indie […]
Rockefeller Park NYC
There are your local neighborhood playgrounds and parks big and small, of course, the places you go to every day/weekend because they're fine and familiar and, you know… they're right there. But in a town as great and big and generous as New York City, there are also destination parks and playgrounds, special spots […]
Brucennial 2010: Miseducation in Soho New York
Sure, you’ve put in an appearance at the Biennial, the Whitney Museum’s every-other-year exhibition of the best (as defined by the curators) in contemporary American art. And it’s a good show this year, we thought: lean, engaging, with a fairly high percentage of interesting pieces. But if you’re in the mood for something a bit […]
Keith Haring: 20th Anniversary at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery CLOSES SATURDAY APRIL 3
There was no more iconic New York City artist in the 1980s than Keith Haring, whose bold, rapidly-created chalk drawings and street paintings could be seen everywhere, all over town… and then, little by little, in art galleries… and then, eventually, thanks to Keith Haring's belief that art should be available to everyone, on […]
Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present at the MoMA
For more than four decades now, the legendary performance artist Marina Abramovic has submitted her body–and her psyche–to countless indignities, and numbing feats of endurance, and out-and-out, nearly torturous levels of physical pain. But perhaps the most astonishing performance of her path-breaking career is going on right now in midtown Manhattan, at the Museum […]
Ride the Zone’s Incredible Real Ryder Workout
We here at the Glenwood Neighborhood Pleasures blog can't check out everything going on in this amazing city (though we do try), so sometimes we call upon the extended Team Glenwood to clue us in to everything new and exciting. Take this report from the field, for example, by Glenwood Leasing Agent Beth, who […]
NYC Fire Museum in Soho
If you're looking for something to do that's a little different, a little educational, a little thrilling, the NYC Fire Museum is a great under-the-radar family destination. Located on the western edge of Soho (and, thus, can be combined with all sorts of first-rate shopping and eating as part of fun springtime adventure), this […]
Trapeze School New York
If you've ever dreamed of running away and joining the circus, but without all the impractical "running away and joining the circus" parts, the Trapeze School New York will send you soaring. Now with two locations for high-flying trapeze NYC fun, both indoors (on West 30th Street) and out (atop Pier 40, in Hudson […]
The Whitney Museum NYC: Whitney Biennial 2010
The Whitney Biennial has become one of New York City’s great winter-into-spring art rituals, as every other year the venerable Upper East Side Whitney Art Museum opens its galleries to a new crop of young and emerging artists who, in the opinion of the curators, best exemplify the state of contemporary art in America–the […]
Ten Great Stores Below 14th Street in NYC Part Two
Partners and Spade As much a gallery of fabulously interesting found objects, exclusive products, and handmade books–sometimes beautiful, sometimes definitely not–as it is a retail outfit, Partners and Spade in NYC’s Noho district, is Kate and Jack Spade’s design studio / storefront that totally delights us every visit. We love the "impulse buys" on that […]
