December 5, 2014 // Historical Christmas at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Trees are on everyone’s mind this time of year. Not even on Arbor Day (which is now Earth Day, but some of us still remember the holiday before it branched out and turned over a new leaf) do trees get more attention than they do at holiday time. You’ve got your choice of fancy, lit-up…
December 4, 2014 // Decoy
So you’re tired of turkey. Since last week, you’ve had leftover turkey for every meal. Ready to duck out for a bite of anything not turkey? Duck it is. Peking duck, to be exact, juicy and moist, with a crispy skin to contrast. If this has gotten your attention, then you ought to head down…
December 3, 2014 // Columbus Circle Holiday Market
New York has the biggest and best holiday shopping season anywhere in the country. Nowhere else has such an amazing, diverse variety of not only year-round stores, but markets that crop up when Christmas is in the air. Haven’t already hit up the Grand Central Holiday Fair? Or do you just love shopping in the…
December 2, 2014 // The Elephant Man
In a recent cinematic production, Bradley Cooper played a talking raccoon (appropriately named Rocket Raccoon, as if the fur and mask weren’t a tip-off). Now, as he steps onto the Broadway stage, he has traded his whiskers and clever, amusing patter for an animal-titled role with far more serious implications. Opening this weekend on the…
December 1, 2014 // Miss Lily’s 7A Cafe
Take a Miniature Island Vacation at Miss Lily’s 7A Cafe It’s not too often we can get away with using questionable language here, but lately, we’ve been breaking it out right and left. Last week, you “heard” us use both the C-word and the S-word without too much shame. (Christmas shopping…and hey, while we’re on…
November 26, 2014 // Side Show
Modern television has dynasties made of waterfowl (or something like that) and affluent women attempting to live simple lives like everyone else (while camera crews follow them around). The early part of last century, however, had elephant men and bearded ladies. Carnival freak shows were arguably the forerunners of today’s reality TV, with all the…
November 25, 2014 // Pearl and Ash
Wine is often just a facet of the meal you’re eating (even if it can be a pretty important facet). You pick delicious food, then have a man or woman with a fancy French title come over and recommend a vintage to go with your eats. Usually, the wine goes with what you’re ordering, and…
November 24, 2014 // Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the biggest of big events this week in New York City. We aren’t talking about the spectacular shouting match between Uncle Herman and Aunt Betsy that happens over carving the turkey every year. We’re talking about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! It runs from 77th Street and Central…
November 21, 2014 // Light Over Time
As the song says, seasons change with the scenery, but truly, the scenery changes just as much with the seasons. The angle of the sun shifts, to shine light down from a different angle, illuminating surfaces that had been in the dark before. Repeated sunny days fade vibrant colors into new hues. Cloud cover and…
November 19, 2014 // Hamilton’s
Remember a gentler, friendlier time, when people waved with all their fingers instead of just the middle one, and fizzy drinks were a treat to be savored? These days, you’d might as well ask if folks remember the Paleolithic Age. We live in a one-finger era when sodas come out of aluminum cans, but we…
