it does seem that the new york’s newest park, the high line, has been under discussion for a very long time with incredible publicity generated by lots of high end support (“friends of the high line” includes quite a roster of developers, politicians and celebrities like ed norton,...mini guide: chelsea and the high line...

mini guide: chelsea and the high line: now that chelsea, or at least the far west side of chelsea will be dominated by the huge attraction of the high line, i think we will be coming to hang out here more and more often. unfortunately, much of the recent development that has gone on, particularly...

i am constantly asking around for interesting shop ideas — what’s the newest thing, what has a great collection, what is affordable – and kiosk came up constantly. it was hard for me to believe that i had never heard of this design store that everyone seemed to love, and now...

vinegar hill: so hard to live up to that...
before we ventured over to vinegar hill house, we had never been to vinegar hill the neighborhood and boy is that a treat. one of what feels like the few spots in new york that have been untouched (at least too much) from all the crazy development that has gone on over the last few years. although...ernesto neto: anthropodino: super fabulo...

this ernesto neto exhibit called anthropodino, at the park avenue armory, is really fabulous, and kids will be especially smitten. k and i visited last weekend, and it’s definitely worth a few hours. while i could go on and on with some not very well written commentary about this obviously...
casellula: a cheesy end to theater...
i am constantly wracking my brain for good places to suggest for pre or post theater dining. usually i just come up with either all these super fancy restaurants or some on the super low end (see here), but nothing really seems to fill that need for a great in between spot. i want something casual,...general and finds: and these are real br...

general and finds (which until very recently had been store518) joins some of my other favorite little shops and food pit stops (including ruby moriarty and prime meats) concentrated in this great area at the far end of court street in brooklyn. general and finds is the creation of designer...

the ifc center, located at the intersection of 6th avenue and west 3rd street is kind of in the middle of the west village just bordering on what i think of as the “central” village — the grungier, super touristy part of the village. the actual location of the theater is villagequite...
