When I emerged from the subway, I saw this gorilla and caged man crossing Sixth Ave. I assume they were promoting something, but you never know.

Carine’s World
Sidewalk inspiration: Carine Roitfeld speaks! Stop by Barneys and see how Mario Sorrenti artfully captured this icon’s thoughts on Paris, fashion and how she conquered both.
Cittanuova
Contemporary Italian cuisine is served up in this large Milanese-style trattoria in the center of East Hampton. The menu offers something for everyone with small plates like grilled octopus and bruscetta, home made pastas, thin pizzas and large dishes like eggplant parmigiana, grilled seafood and chicken Milanese. The front doors in the bar area open […]
Blue Parrot
Given the quality of Mexican food in Manhattan, if I find a Mexican restaurant I like elsewhere, I’ll visit it over and over. That’s the case with Blue Parrot, which is tucked away behind Main Street in East Hampton. The menu features Mexican staples like ceviche, guacamole, mussels and empanadas and interesting large plates like […]

In a time when so many other small theatres have been forced to close their doors, Film Forum is still going strong as the only autonomous non-profit cinema in the city. The theatre shows domestic independents, foreign art […]
West Chelsea Slice of Life
Why I love West Chelsea: gallerina on phone, man-dressed-as-child on PDA, media equipment unloading and, way at the end, the full-block post office vehicle repair shop (evidence of the not-so-distant industrial past). Oh, and the shiny green Tesla sitting outside its showroom. I love how this sums up such a vibrant neighborhood.
La Fondita
Stop here if you’re in the mood for traditional Mexican street food made from fresh local ingredients. The menu isn’t particularly inventive with the typical selection of tacos, burritos, tostadas, tortas and large plates, but the quality is outstanding. And that’s what matter, right? Plus, the fresh guacamole and array of homemade salsas make it […]
