July 7, 2015 // 39 Steps
Union Square Theater 100 E 17th Street July 1 – Nov. 30, 2015 We’re all (well, almost all) familiar with Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1935 film The 39 Steps. If you’re one of the “almost,” then a) shame on you, you should really go and see it, and b) here’s a quick teaser for you. The…
July 6, 2015 // Winston Churchill
340 W 50th St. @ Churchill: New World Stages July 1 – 12, 2015 Winston Churchill, one of the leaders of the Allies during the second World War, has left an undeniably important but also quite thorny legacy. This one-man play can be an excellent way for adults and older children to learn more about…

It’s always interesting to see what different countries consider local, home cooking. In Canada, for example, they’ve got the often misunderstood poutine. Americans might look sideways at the stuff, but adventurous souls discover it’s mighty tasty. The only way you can truly understand a country’s national cuisines is to eat them. Why not develop your…

Aloha! The Hawaiian language is truly beautiful. Seastreak Trivia time: Hawaiian is a Polynesian language. That means, it’s in the same family of languages as Samoan, Tongan, and the legendary Maori. It includes sounds such as glottal stops, which sound strange, but you probably use one every day. Use the phrase “uh-oh”, and you’ve got…
June 25, 2015 // Dimes
On the whole, restaurants are pretty much a dime a dozen. Take three steps in any direction, you’ll find a place where you can feed your face. (Or you’ll find an open pothole, like in an old cartoon. Try to avoid those.) Good restaurants, though, those are harder to come by. You want a comfortable…
June 19, 2015 // New York City, Something Rotten!
Theatergoers, did you get to see “Fun Home” before this year’s Tony Awards named it Best Musical? If not, it’s booking until October! However, we know there’s some stage fans who don’t agree with the choice of winner there. Another show has a pretty dedicated following, and with good reason. One of its actors brought…
June 17, 2015 // Lions Tigers and Brews, Things to Do
If you’ve ever been to a favorite watering hole on a weekend, or during a particularly excellent happy hour, you know places like that can turn into a real zoo. Look closely enough, you can even see examples of all the different animals. Some ape beating his chest, a proud lion roaring to show off,…
June 15, 2015 // Swedish Midsummer Festival
For some of us, our first exposure to anything supposedly Swedish was a certain Muppet who likes to cook. (Not that we admit it. We’d hate to date ourselves.) Or maybe we think of inexpensive furniture with obscure directions. Both of these are too bad, because true Swedish culture is both amazing and worth learning…
June 12, 2015 // Clocktower
For simple, utilitarian devices, clocks have a very distinctive cachet. They represent the mystery and inexorableness of linear time, they make us dream about turning back the hands to relive moments of our lives, and frankly, they’re just plain neat. We take pride in our timepieces, and some of them are notorious marks of status.…
