Used York City

Getting My Jjigae On At Kori-Tribeca

After hearing about the marvel of Eastern and Western fusion in the New York Times, I decided that some things needed to be tested and tasted personally. So I hopped on the 6 train and texted some friends. I had about half an hour to wait so I ordered a dirty martini, was not disappointed [...]

Museum Of The City Of New York

The City of New York overflows with a spectacle of people, objects, and facades.  It is truly an outdoor museum.   So it should come as no surprise to learn that there is an indoor museum appropriately titled the “Museum of the City of New York” located on “Museum Mile,” upper Fifth Avenue, directly across [...]

Gotham Radio Theatre Presents “Blithe Spirit”

I was recently in England, engaged in a conversation about the difference between British humour and American humor (note the spelling variations!), and this was what it boiled down to: Americans don’t do irony nearly as well as our English counterparts. Upon getting back in the states, I had the good fortune of being able [...]

Manhattan’s Most Serene Museum: The Cloisters

In the city that never sleeps, where hustle and bustle dominates and radiates, there comes a time to rejuvenate, reflect and renew.  You relish a bite of the Big Apple, but before it bites you back, you search for a rapid, cost-efficient escape from the concrete jungle.  Time for some city calm.  The best part?  [...]

Dogpatch, USA and its joy-juiced residents are alive again, a kickin’ and a hollerin’ at The Lion Theater in midtown.  A director and choreographer have never made better use of a large cast on a tiny stage in this costumed semi-concert version of “Li’l Abner”, a rarely revived 1956 hit Broadway musical based on the [...]

Bargemusic: Classical Concerts With A View

This is a call for lovers of music and nature. Imagine an invitation to attend classical concerts right under the Brooklyn Bridge, with a wonderful view of downtown Manhattan.  Bargemusic is an on-dock boat that serves as a music chamber for a variety of musicians and their thousands of music admirers.  Whether it’s a rainy [...]

The New Museum Presents “The Ungovernables”

“There’s something happening here…What it is ain’t exactly clear.”  This lyric hauntingly opens the anthem of a 1960s generation ready to challenge the status quo.  This deceptively simple lyric became resoundingly resonant in my ears as I toured “The Ungovernables”, a remarkable artistic exhibit currently on display at the New Museum.  All five floors are [...]

Gotham Radio Theatre Presents Redheads And Bohemians

I remember childhood summers spent at my grandparents house…lounging in the kitchen on warm afternoons, sipping Yoo-Hoo’s, eating Twinkies, and listening to the ever-so-loud classic radio shows blasting through the AM channels.  Granted, I’m a child of the 1980′s, not the 1940′s, so this may seem a bit antiquated.  At the time I was probably [...]
