Barney Greengrass: The Jewish New York Deli Experience

Finding a bagel and lox in this city is as easy as finding the sidewalk—but an excellent bagel and lox? That question will throw most New Yorkers into a heated argument.

Anatomy of a New York Street Fair

Anatomy of a New York Street Fair

The season has finally arrived: Entire New York avenue blocks are beginning to shut down in every part of the city to accommodate street fairs! While the location and theme at each New York street fair very much influence which booths you’ll find, there are always a few that remind you that you’re in good old Manhattan. When you’ve spent enough weekends at New York street fairs, you start to see a pattern… -Tara for TKGO

Shot of the Week

Thanks to my pilot’s crafty landing on my return to NYC from New Orleans, I was able to snap this beautiful day in downtown Manhattan and south Brooklyn. Look for the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges, left to right. -Tara

New York, I Love You

in Film & Literature 0 Comments

New York City. How could it get any better than this? Two videos hit YouTube this week, and both serve to remind the 19.4 million people who live here why they don’t leave. How spectacular is a city that can have such schizophrenic tastes? Discussing highbrow publications in one moment, and in the next, riding the subway without pants? See the magic yourself in these two quickies: They say you have to live here for 10 years before you can [...]

Gaga’s Workshop at Barneys New York

New York City’s fanciest Fifth Avenue department stores take a populist turn every December and become something for everyone, regardless of budget limitations with the ornate store window displays that are integral to the city’s holiday cheer. Outsiders and insiders pass the windows for weeks after they are unveiled, always to great excitement, and appreciate them for the fashion-centric public art displays they are. This year Barneys took the holiday season as a chance to create something a bit different [...]

TKGO on Tumblr

You might have noticed we’ve taken a break from post Shots of the Week, but we have still been out snapping an inordinate amount of photographs. Our primary repository for these images is our TKGO Tumblr: http://tkgo.tumblr.com/. Check it out! Our latest photo is Tara’s Instagram-med croissant sandwich from the delectable Choco Bolo. Tara and I were reunited (finally!) in New York City this past weekend, and the Nolita café location was the site of one our weekend breakfasts. And [...]

A Love Letter to Little Italy at Christmastime

A Love Letter to Little Italy at Christmastime

I loathe the holidays. Mariah Carey plays nonstop in every elevator. Fifth Avenue is not walkable. Stores are not navigable. Sidewalks are littered with more shopping bags than people. And if I was not forced to cross Broadway by the fact that I live on the edge of Soho, I would have walked five blocks out of my way just to circumvent the chaos. But this is only the daytime scene. When stores close and restaurants open for dinner service, [...]

Little Italy’s San Gennaro Festival

Little Italy’s San Gennaro Festival

As Little Italy’s most famous festival, the Feast of San Gennaro turns Mulberry Street into a madhouse. Unlike most street festivals, where a visitor can expect to stroll along a wide avenue, pick up a lemon ice and browse racks of jewelry, no one was kidding when they named San Gennaro a “feast”—there is no jewelry to be had here, and no one comes looking for it, either! The Italian restaurants on the block set up tented booths on the [...]

Give Blood, Eat Dessert

Check out our guest post! Our friends at Sip N Sizzle, a new NYC food & reviews blog, reached out to us for a guest post. Inspired by the 30 flyers the New York Blood Center sent me in the last 2 months, I explain my three favorite places (and desserts) to refuel after giving blood. One catch: No cupcakes allowed! We all know where to get those… Check it out here: Top Places to Get Sugar After Giving Blood [...]
