New York City Hester Street Fair
July 22, 2010 - 9:17 am
Exploring an outdoor market on a Sunday is a time-honored New York tradition. From single girls searching for the perfect vintage dress to old couples bickering lovingly over a pair of lampshades, they attract all types. On a good day at a market, you can find almost anything. Old photographs, back issues of your once-favorite magazine, almost unworn vintage boots & a pink rotary telephone? It’s yours for the taking!
Art/Design Featured Gallery New York’s Greatest Art Store
July 13, 2010 - 8:28 am
When good artists die, they go to New York Central.
For three generations, New York Central Art Supply has been dealing Bristol board to the most famous names in the art world. Jeff Koons shops here. So did Louise Nevelson and Basquiat. Owner Steven Steinburg once so delighted De Kooning by personally delivering a mat cutter that the artist did a drawing just for him.
Music Eminem Recovers and then Destroys
July 1, 2010 - 12:13 pm
Eminem just released his new album, Recovery, last week to absolute rave reviews. Personally I can’t stop listening to “Not Afraid” as well as “Love the Way You Lie” feat. Rihanna. Both have insanely infectious grooves and strong messages, no surprises there. After years of silence, threats of retirement, substance abuse, divorce, re-marriage, and god only knows what else, he’s finally stepped back in the spot light and we’re happy to see him shine.
On June 22nd, Eminem also took the stage to not only show the world he’s still relevant, but to pay homage to his roots, the MC battle. Red Bull EmSee is a new competition focused on the truest form of rap competition while highlighting the modern freestyle spirit. The event was hosted by Angie Yee. Judges Alchemist, Just Blaze and Craig G will gave their thumbs up or down to a stellar line-up of the freshest MC talent.

June 8, 2010 - 10:23 am

If you’re in Manhattan, there’s no better place to go for a sugar hit on a balmy, sticky night. From caramel marshmallow sundaes to chocolate peanut butter malted shakes, Lula’s Sweet Apothecary beckons you in with a saccharine finger. There are all your childhood favorites & flavors: hot fudge sauce, tantalizing maraschino cherries, & chocolate or rainbow sprinkles, but the best thing? Lula’s fare is completely vegan. The entire joint is animal-free, right down to their non-gelatin gummy bears & coconut whipped cream.
New York City OPENING CEREMONY AT ACE HOTEL IN NEW YORK
January 12, 2010 - 3:24 pm
Ace Hotel is definitely the place to stay if you ever find yourself in Portland, Seattle, Palm Springs or New York City. Their offbeat, nouveau-bohemian interior design has been attracting artists, designers, geeks with style & international jet setters — you know, people just like you — since 1999. The New York City location has morphed into something beyond just a place to rest your head.
Art/Design New York City D.U.M.B.O. Brooklyn: Art, Nostalgia & Idyllic Facades
September 15, 2009 - 10:42 am
D.U.M.B.O., or Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is the first subway stop when you traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the F-train. It’s a tranquil little area bursting at the seams with eye-popping street murals, old-style New York nostalgia, artists, assorted creative types, and a bevy of kitschy, drinking spots. The buildings here are mostly old warehouse monoliths housing modern photo /music/art studios, avant-garde galleries, underground ‘zines, indie film shops, fashion/furniture showrooms and band practice spaces. Surprisingly, there are also a high number of pet and baby supply shops – apparently the art of domestication and home-building is also held in high regard around these parts.
The Dumbo work fleet is made up of unique creatures of habit. At lunch time, they creep out from behind their Apple laptop screens and air-conditioned offices to the big delis on Jay and Front Streets for their salads, wraps and soy shakes. Their dark wayfarer sunglasses come out; the Parliament cigarettes are unsheathed, lit and quickly extinguished. And just like that, Dumbo’s creative workforce disappears back indoors, leaving the cobblestone streets desolate and lonely again.
But ultimately, it’s the sweeping vistas of the Manhattan Bridge spanning the East River, the truly remarkable and copious street-art (murals, Graffiti tags, sticker collages, portraiture, etc) visible on every little side road, and the glimpses of Old New York that make Dumbo a must-see location for anyone visiting NYC.
