During last month’s Whiskey Live, we sampled more whiskey than we knew what to do with. In addition to different brands, a few New York City  bars were on hand, serving up specialty whiskey cocktails and one that stood out was American Whiskey. The bar, which has bragging rights of over 150 American made whiskies, is one spot we couldn’t […]

In the entertainment industry, women are a part of every aspect. Acting, directing, writing, producing; yet the opportunities that exist keep them in an eternal survival game where they need to step on each other to get to where most males get without the same sacrifices. For every 2.24 male characters written to be performed, there’s one female. Only 23.3 […]

Nolita is home to many hip and trendy bars and restaurants and Balzem is no exception. The Mediterranean bistro gives off a rustic, intimate vibe from the moment you step in, thanks in part to its exposed brick walls, reclaimed pine wood bar, vintage mirrors and custom-made chandeliers. Additionally, you will find comfortable bistro seating, cherry wood tables and no […]

Film is what I like to call the ultimate marriage between art and technology. It requires the creativity that only some people possess, and the skills of a master technician/scientist to pull it off. For people that think filming is just camera and friends are missing around a dozen (if not dozens) of components that are required to produce a […]

For any fan of noted writer Tennessee Williams, En Avant! An Evening with Tennessee Williams is 70 minutes well spent. The one man show, which was the winner of the 2013 NYC International Fringe Festival Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance, is drawn from actual journals, letter and several other writings both comprised by and about Mr. Williams. Actor and playwright […]

Located a few blocks off of the trendy, artsy Bedford Avenue, this bar fits right in: dim lighting, exposed brick, and light blues beckoned us into Billet and Bellows. Owner Kristina Kozak immediately welcomed us; friendly, attentive, and engaging, she told us the story behind Billet and Bellows, its transition from an antique store to a bar, and her plans […]

Perfectly placed to debut on the cusp of spring, Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre’s Renewal, a kickoff of their Fifteenth Anniversary Performance Season at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, was just that: a rejuvenation, an awakening, a rebirth. Little vignettes, shining orbs, and moving lights: Each dancer moved effortlessly across the stage, whether to running water, funk, jazz, or a mixture […]

Women. Girls. Females. The other sex. Whatever you want to call them, they represent everything that contains strength, power, and inspiration to many people around the world. This month we celebrate women because of the incredible beings they are, but sadly we live in a world where most of the celebration ends with empty words. Empty, because for every promise […]

FAME by Alex Mitow is known for hosting innovative, food, art and music pop-ups in New York City, and this past weekend the company brought us Broth Fest, a fun, interactive broth-filled extravaganza. On Saturday, New Yorkers trekked through the rain to the South Street Seaport, where Sugarcube, an inflatable pavilion that looked, literally, like a giant sugarcube, enclosed the […]

Well, it has arrived. The one day of the year when it is totally acceptable (for the most part) to get dressed up as a leprechaun and drink so much that you won’t be able to see straight. When the Guinness flows like a river and the Jameson shots never end. When the Irish rule the world and shamrocks are […]
