Earth Day Special! 8 Great Eco-Friendly Restaurants
With Earth Day coming around again on April 22, one of these easiest ways to make a tiny difference as you go about your daily routine is to patronize eco-friendly NYC restaurants, those places committed, to varying degrees, with sustainable farming practices, organic products, repurposed materials, renewable energy, waste composting... anything that lessens their ecological footprint on our well-trod home. Check out this great list of our favorite NYC eco-friendly restaurants.
Coffeed: Strong Brews & First-Rate Food Arrive In Chelsea
COFFEED is now open in Chelsea!! The Queens-based coffee startup is a little different than your average coffee shop. Not only is the coffee amazing but so is their philanthropy. Ten percent of all drink sales and five percent of all food sales will go to The New York Foundling, a charity benefiting undeserved children, families and adults. Additionally, COFFEED will employ New York Foundling teens, providing them with real world work experience.
A Terrific, Career-Spanning Isamu Noguchi Show At Pace In Chelsea
You know his paper lanterns on sight. You'd recognize his signature coffee table anywhere (and frequent the satirical blog named for it). But did you know Isamu Noguchi is also responsible for some stunning sculptures, ceramics, and even parks and public plazas? If you want to know more about the Japanese American designer and artist, this is the way to do it: Isamu Noguchi: Variations at Pace Gallery in New York.
NYC’s Best Flower Shows for Spring 2015
Spring is almost here. Really? It's kind of hard to tell, isn't it? After #neverendingwinter2015, I'll believe it when I see it...BUT there are increasingly positive signs that soon everyone will be complaining about how hot and muggy is it. In the meantime, however, New York is host to a wonderful variety of flower shows that are sure to put a little Spring in your step. Here are some of our recommendations.
The Great Xi’an Famous Foods – Now on The Upper East Side!
Xi'an Famous Foods first became, um, famous back in the mid aughts, with the original tiny stall in Flushing's Golden Shopping Mall. Next came another, even smaller, storefront in Manhattan's Chinatown. The more and more shops began opening up on the Upper East and Upper West Sides, Midtown East and West, as well as two in Brooklyn, in East Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Question is, has this rapid expansion effected the quality of the food, or is Xi'an Famous still one of the best cheap eats spots in all of NYC?
For Rustic Italian On A Cold Winter’s Night, There’s No Better New Spot Than Via Carato
Via Carota is what happens when the restaurateurs behind two of the city’s most exquisite establishments come together. Stepping foor into the warm, cozy West Village restaurant, you may forget for a moment that you're in NYC. The menu is unusual, mainly Italian in many categories with creative flourishes. There's something for everyone, for every season from warm soups on cold winter nights, or light pastas tossed in fresh veggies for the warmer months.
A Complete Guide For Armory Week 2015 Art Fairs
As Armory Week kicks off, it seems like every corner of Manhattan is home to one art fair or another, and it's hard to keep track of everything on offer. We count no less than 14 fairs of varying sizes, and if you don't plan ahead, it's all-too easy to get caught in the art landslide. So here's our breakdown of the finest that Armory Week has on tap.
Paula Hayes’ Gorgeous Gazing Globes Brighten Madison Square Park
A new public art installation has arrived in Madison Square Park. Created by landscape designer and artist Paula Hayes, Gazing Globes is made up of eighteen crystalline orbs, each encasing a sort of science-fiction scene inside. Super fun, and super creative and our personal pick to be your first outdoor exhibit of the Spring.
Finger Lickin’ Delicious Pies-n-Thighs Arrives In Lower East Side
YES! Pies ‘n’ Thighs, the Williamsburg staple known for tantalizing pies, fried chicken, and donuts, just crossed the bridge and opened its first Manhattan location. Aptly set in the Lower East Side, Pies ‘n’ Thighs has a clean but rustic American feel, very nostalgic, and little bit diner-y. The food is as epic for breakfast and lunch as it is for dinner, but it shines during brunch. Hopefully it eases weekend waits in the notoriously brunch-friendly area, but chances are they’ll all just stay just as packed. Forever.
NYC Beer week? Pffffttt… More Like NYC Beer MONTH!
The official-sounding NYC Beer Week may be just about over--but remember: you live in New York City! EVERY week can be beer week! And while there is plenty of room for debate about which of the hundreds of beer-centric bars around town it's also good to know that there are lots of special occasion, beer-themed events going on all the time. So by all means drink your fill at Torst in Greenpoint, and The Jeffrey on the Upper East Side, and Jimmy's No. 43 in the East Village, and Beer Culture in Hell's Kitchen, and on and on and on. But maybe mix it up a bit too, and check out some of these beery specials going down in March
