It’s Raining In New York
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007Every year, we get harsh weather and everyone complains and is surprised about it. New Yorkers are tough. We all get through it.
Now for a lesson on umbrella ettiquette.
Hold em high, my friends. Do not bash your umbrella into others when you pass them by. Learn to stagger your height when passing by others with and without umbrellas.
If you are walking alone, you do not need one of those huge black umbrellas that fit twelve below.
When the rain lets up, watch out for where you point that thing. It’s a weapon. The sidewalks are crowded. Stop poking people.
On The Elevated Acre
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007River To River is still going strong as it has all summer long. Now it’s time for movies. Surely, you’ve been taking advantage of Bryant Park’s flick fest. But now, there’s even more. 55 Water Street is the place to be in August to catch some movie classics.
August 7 presents The Fountainhead circa 1949.
August 14 is all about Breakfast at Tiffany’s from 1960
August 21 offers On The Waterfront filmed in 1954.
August 28 brings it all to an end with The Apartment, a throwback to 1960 once more.
Want Some Candy?
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007Dylan’s Candy Bar
1011 3rd Avenue
New York, NY 10021
(646) 735-0078
A dentist’s worst nightmare; a sweet tooth’s best dream. Dylan’s is a sugary heaven with bins and bins of candy candy candy. Downstairs? More candy. Chocolate. Hard candy. Also, posters, shirts, and toys are lined up all over with a candy theme. Sometimes they play candy-related movies on the large tvs.
Unfortunately, the place is always always crowded and way understaffed. The lines wrap around the store all day.
If you have the time and the patience, head on over and lick it up.
Spiegelworld!
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007That just sounds cool. Spiegelworld! It’s kitschy. What is it? Well, I’m not sure really. It has something to do with the seaport and absinthe. I’m getting ahead of myself.
July 2 through September 30, Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport hosts live bands, Wednesday Night Fever, Turntables on the Hudson on Fridays, Raindance NYC.org on Saturdays, Absinthe The World’s Hottest Live Show, and the world premiere of La Vie, Montreal’s circus company.
That’s a whole lot happening at Pier 17.
Back to the question at hand. Spiegelworld is a traveling arts festival and fair. Two large tents filled with fun. It includes The Green Room Restaurant for dining delight. It’s a little bit clubby. It’s a little bit loungy. It’s a little bit beer gardeny.
It’s something you have to see to understand.
