These inflatable street art “exhibitions” by Joshua Allen Harris (here too) are absolutely amazing.

OK, so Mike Myers‘ The Love Guru was nearly universally panned by every critic in the business. It bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in only $13.9 million. The only semi-positive review I could find came from Peter Rainer at the Christian Science Monitor (how ironic). My favorite negative review came from Harry […]

I plan to head out to the Mermaid Parade on Coney Island later today. I was a feeling a little lazy and on the fence about the whole thing until I read this line from the parade director in the FAQ of the website:
I’m going to stand in the street in front of the reviewing […]

Our good friend Joergen Geerds has been taking incredible panoramic photos of NYC for years now. He shoots with his own custom built multi-shot rig, and prints at enormous sizes. He is finally getting some of the recognition he deserves and is part of a group show at Tabla Rassa Gallery in Sunset Park Brooklyn […]

I arrived back in NY on Friday night, a full week ago. The trip was fine, really, but long. I left Dominical in a friend of mine’s pickup truck at 5:30am. We drove for exactly 4 hours to the airport in San Jose. My flight wasn’t until 2:50pm, so I sat around the airport for […]

Admittedly it is very difficult to eat a chocolate penis and not look gay. It is even harder to eat a chocolate penis right off of a 6 foot tall statue of man made of chocolate. Imagine how complicated it gets when that man is Jesus, and it is Easter Sunday. I know you’re thinking, […]

Vik Muniz, my favorite contemporary artist will be showing at Moma’s Long Island City PS1 museum from February 11 through May 7. Many of you know PS1 from its summertime art raves, outdoor swimming pools, DJs and beer, but it looks like they also have great shows in the winter.
For those of you who don’t […]

I’ve got friends visiting NY this week while I am here in Dubai, and so I was compiling this list of places for her to go WITHOUT ME, and realized I should probably post it. Here is my take on the very best of NY, or at least my favorites.
Best Italian
Dear god, you must go […]

Let me just take a quick second to thank everyone for their attendance, compliments, love, and support last night at my official going away party. It is the biggest compliment in the world for a huge group of my friends from different parts of my life to get together and get along and dance and […]

A bold gesture from a friendly African cab driver saved my soul tonight. I left work tired, aggravated, dejected, and depressed, reevaluating my chosen life and location, too tired to take a subway. 7:45pm and sober is a stretch for taking a cab, even for me. On Madison Avenue, between 41st and 42nd, at 7:45, […]

Maybe I am just a pussy, but I “worked from home” today because of the NYC transit strike. For any of you outside of NY, it might be news for you to learn that the corrupt MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) and it’s workers in the greedy TWU (Transit Workers Union) are having painful contract negotiations, […]
