Alder; wd-50’s Chef Wylie Dufresne Opens New NYC Restaurant
Chef Wylie Dufresne, he of the innovative, Michelin-starred wd-50 on Clinton Street, is a good guy: amiable, grounded, a native New Yorker. The kind of person you wish was your buddy, and not just for his chops in the kitchen.
Kenny Scharf Art, Donuts, and Merchandise at Paul Kasmin Gallery in NYC
Even if the name isn’t ringing a bell, you probably recognize Kenny Scharf’s distinctive, cartoony style. After all, Scharf’s an SVA grad who has been showing in galleries and museums all over town–and all over the world–since the early 1980s.
Nish Nush in Tribeca; Home to the Best Falafel in Downtown NYC
Ok, we admit it: we're no experts in the falafel field. Sure, we could reel off a list for you in a heartbeat of NYC's best cookies, best doughnuts, best pizza, best burgers, cupcakes, fish tacos, bagels, barbecue, ramen… but for whatever reason–perhaps too many bad experiences?–that other great NYC staple, the falafel, has never […]
Harold Dieterle’s Marrow; Elegant NYC Restaurant in West Village
Harold Dieterle nails it again. When Chef Dieterle won the first season of Top Chef back in the mid-aughts, he parlayed his prize money into the pretty Cornelia Street spot Perilla, which has enjoyed a steady stream of contented guests ever since.
Best Coffee in NYC; Kaffe 1668 and Hugh Jackman’s Laughing Man
We're not really hardcore coffee geeks here at the Glenwood blog, but we definitely know what we like… and what we don't. Stumptown, for instance, is always awesome, as is a cup of anything from Grumpy.
Breads Bakery; Best Bread Bakery in NYC, located in Union Square
It seems we're living in some sort of bakery golden age right now, a time when outstanding, bread-centric spots are opening up all over Manhattan. First came the Parisians, led by the amazing Eric Kayser and his eponymous Maison, which opened last summer on the Upper East Side, and where we still gorge whenever we're […]
Jean Michel Basquiat Street Art at Gagosian Chelsea Art Gallery
We love pretty much everything about Jean-Michael Basquiat, his art and his story. The teenage runaway turned NYC street artist, in the bad-old late-'70s days. Putting his Samo tag everywhere downtown turned him into a stratospheric art star in the 1980s. His extraordinarily prolific career ending in an instant one night in '88, dead from a […]
New York City’s Best Skate Parks, in Downtown Manhattan
Any skater worth his deck will tell you that the whole city is a skate park, with wallies and ollies, inverts and flips, slides and grinds just screaming to be tricked in public spaces all over town, "no skateboarding" signs be damned.
Canstruction NYC 2013 at Winter Garden through February 11!
Every year since 1993, Canstruction NYC has brought together some of the city's finest architecture, engineering, and design firms to construct elaborate, often playful structures made entirely from cans of food.
New York February Events; Makes it the Sweetest Month in NYC
We say it every year, but that doesn't mean it gets any less true: just when winter starts to get intolerable around here in the big town, two of our favorite sweet-treat festivals kick in, saving us from seasonal misery disorder. Instead? Seasonal smiles all around, thanks to the great Clinton Street Baking Co.'s "February […]
