The Best of NYC’s Greenmarket Farms and Farmers Markets
One of the many benefits of living in New York City is that you can still get all the fresh fruit and vegetables you want from the many farmers markets! Here are some of the best!
Miss Lily’s is Serving Authentic Jamaican Delights in NYC
[Updated] Miss Lily's in Soho has been open for a while now. In the beginning, Serge Becker, the restaurateur behind the always-a-party La Esquina was feeding classic Jamaican delights to a fantastically beautiful, invite-only crowd. Becker and crew started letting the rabble (like us) into this terrific-looking Jamaican restaurant space in March of 2011. The […]
New York Yankee Stadium; The New Way to Experience Baseball
In 2009, both of New York City's beloved/hated (depending) baseball teams started their seasons in spanking-new stadiums. Citi Field replaced the 45-year-old Shea Stadium as home to the Amazin' Mets, and when I went for the first time last year I was pretty blown away by what is clearly the new trend in sports entertainment, […]
El Anatsui: Gravity and Grace Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum
It's always nice to see the under-loved (and, to be honest, too-often underwhelming), Brooklyn Museum in NYC put on a great show, and Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui is exactly that, a true crowd pleaser that's engaging, provocative, playful, joyous, sublime.
David Shrigley’s Signs at Anton Kern Gallery in Chelsea NYC
Three months ago the Chelsea gallery district was slammed by Sandy, with catastrophic flooding causing millions of dollars in damage, wrecking the area's infrastructure, and effectively shutting down the entire half-mile length of the cultural institution which, with its more than 400 separate art galleries, houses one of the largest and most important concentrations of […]
Get in on Levy’s Unique New York Freeze Tag Fun on Wall St NYC
If you grew up in the suburbs, you know how awesome it was to play all sorts of crazy games with a big pack of neighborhood kids, often in someone's backyard or even better, right out there on the street. Spud. Kickball. Stickball. Ding Dong Ditch (aka Ring and Run). Flashlight tag. Freeze tag. Blob […]
Spacewar! Blasts Off at the Museum of the Moving Image
We recently spent a chunk of our afternoon getting slaughtered by skittery mutants. We slammed into green spiky things as we tried to jump from one world to the next. We couldn't defend our cities from all of those freakin' missiles. Busy dodging asteroids, we got blown to bits by the galaxy's tiniest flying saucer. […]
Brooklyn is Hot for Mexican Food at Gran Electrica
Mexican Restaurant Supports Its Sister Eatery After Sandy Glenwood residents…there are several reasons why you should hop on the F, A, C, 2, or 3 trains, or grab the East River Ferry, and head over to Brooklyn top-notch Mexican restaurant, Gran Electrica. First, and most important, the Mexican food here is, in a word, outstanding! […]
DUMBO Restaurants like Governor Give a Reason to Head to Brooklyn
As usual, we tried out a lot of new restaurants all over town this past summer, and, as it turns out, possibly our best meal of the season (real summer, not calendar summer) came on practically the last day of the season, on a cobblestoned street in Brooklyn, at DUMBO’s Governor, which was opened in […]
Brooklyn Academy of Music Can Boast Cafe Habana Outpost & The Smoke Joint
If you're heading out to the Brooklyn Academy of Music anytime soon, or, say, sometime this fall for their just-announced 30th-annual Next Wave Festival, you're going to want to eat something while you're there, either before or after the show. And, sure, there are more and more good casual restaurants in the immediate area, so […]
