There's never been a better time to visit the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, thanks to an exhibit of works by Tom Sachs that relate to those of Isamu Noguchi and Japanese culture in general. Then stroll over to the Socrates Sculpture Park.

Doing minimal research had worked out so well for our Greenpoint walkabout that Andrea and I figured we'd be OK in Bushwick—and we were wrong. But hey, pizza. / 8 comments
The revitalization of the Rockaways has received a lot of press, but the off-season isn't exactly a beachy, funky, artsy paradise. Then again, when the ferry is only $7 round trip, who cares? / 5 comments
