if you must have the most gorgeous button available, or just want to jazz up something that maybe you have grown bored with, i cannot think of a better place to look around than tender buttons. this tiny little shop on the upper east side, named for a famous book by gertrude stein, has beautiful,...

i know it may not seem like it, since i rarely talk about sushi here, but i absolutely love sushi, and if i had my druthers i might eat it 5 nights of the week — well maybe not that often as i wouldn’t want to turn into a thermometer or anything but you get the idea. i don’t write...

despite thinking that i have explored every nook and cranny on the upper east side for interesting, not crazily priced stores, i was surprised to learn from my friend in silver spring, maryland that i might have missed a special spot. and it’s true. enchanted is a really wonderful toy store...

i do seem to be incapable of not eating every donut i pass, so when i found myself in yura & company for a not such exciting coffee recently, i discovered the oddly named cinnamon puff which is really a little donut in the form of a mini muffin. the donut was quite fresh and and covered...

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...

as i have been on the hunt for great little independent shops all over new york, i was surprised to keep hearing that there is this one must see place on the upper east side. and, well, i used to live up there (way to the east but still technically the upper east side) andi cannot remember once finding...

maybe not the most exciting store to write about, but larry & jeff’s bicycles nyc isn’t really about excitement. it is about getting the basics. they provide really excellent service if you need help with your bike. since we have been in brooklyn for the past five years, we...

the dentist and donuts don’t always go together, but for me these amazing french style crullers from mitchel london foods were the perfect end to my enduring the oh so unpleasant dentist cleaning. so after every dental visit, i would head north to see if mitchel london had these incredibly...

i have seen jenny holzer’s work on occasion but this whitney exhibit “protect protect” looks great because it is pretty substantial and is her biggest retrospective in the united states in more than 15 years. now since i could not understand a word of the whitney’s description...
