The Faberge Big Egg Hunt is ON!
Is NYC cracking up? Well, while there may be several examples of that, right now, and through until April 18, there are more than 250 giant eggs "hidden" all over New York City. Each one of these fabulous two-and-a-half-foot sculptures has been dyed… er, designed, by a different artist. They are the focus of the […]
Things to Do in April in NYC
Because it's felt like full-on winter here for so long, April seems to have snuck up on us a bit this year. So before we fall too far behind, here's a quick look at just a few upcoming events slated for next month that recently caught our eye. And don't forget about those flower shows!
New York Flower Shows for 2014: Spring is in the Air!
Spring is here. Really? It's kind of hard to tell, isn't it? After #neverendingwinter2014, 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 […]

The Whitney Biennial 2014 – A Little Rough with a Few Gems
The Whitney Biennial 2014, for which the museum's curators, or guest curators, attempt in one fell swoop to deliver a definitive snapshot of what is happening NOW in contemporary art in NYC and beyond, is always one of the most talked-about and hashed-over exhibitions of the year, for fairly obvious reasons.
BHQFU’s The Last Brucennial Displays 660 Pieces of Art All Created by Women
I’ll be heading over to the Whitney soon to scope out the Biennial. The wonderful and exhausting Armory Arts Week totally satisfied my contemporary art craving for a few days, but until then may I recommend the messy, epic, raunchy, amazing BRUCEennial to you!

Ivan Navarro: This Land Is Your Land in Madison Square Park
At this point we're happy to see just about ANYTHING outside that isn't mounds of snow or slush rivers. So when word came that the new public art installation by Ivan Navarro had arrived in Madison Square Park, and that it involved one of the most iconic of all NYC structures: the water tower, I Citi Bike-d […]
Where to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in NYC
New York is one of the great St. Patrick's Day cities in the country– along with Boston, Chicago, maybe Philly–with a long history of Irish contributions to all facets of NYC life just waiting to be celebrated every year. In fact, we have the oldest St. Patrick's Day parade in America. The tradition of marching […]
