Field Trip: New York Botanical Garden
There's a show about Frida Kahlo's art and garden that's best for Kahlophiles, but the rest of the garden made up for it. / 2 comments
Field Trip: Bed-Stuy
I didn't think it'd be dangerous, exactly, but I didn't think it'd be gorgeous. Small wonder the area—which is huge, by the way—is being gentrified so quickly. / 2 comments
Field Trip: The New Whitney Museum
What makes it more than a big, funky shed full of great art are the terraces, catwalks, promontories, and exterior staircases. Let's explore.... / 4 comments
Field Trip: Bushwick
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
Field Trip: The Rockaways
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
Field Trip: Greenpoint
Stylish shops and restaurants, decaying industrial buildings, plenty of street art, young people.... It's everything you want from an afternoon in mid-gentrification Brooklyn. / 3 comments
Field Trip: S-Cruise by Smartboat
Where would you like to go on this small, zippy boat? Over to the Colgate clock for lunch? Up to La Marina for drinks? Under the East River Bridges? Around the Statue of Liberty? / 2 comments
Field Trip: Wave Hill
Go before electronics company LG ruins the experience—and the Palisades in general—by building an ugly tower across the river. Plus: Gregory Crewdson's wonderful firefly photos are being exhibited. / 1 comment
Field Trip: Governors Island
The park, which is now 30 acres larger, has opened for the season. So what's it like? / 8 comments
Field Trip: FDR Four Freedoms Park
I figured I'd never have reason to go to Roosevelt Island again, but that was before architect Louis I. Kahn's monument to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his "four freedoms" opened last year. / 4 comments
Field Trip: Litchfield County
If you haven't made plans to get away this summer, you really should consider Litchfield County, in the northwest corner of Connecticut. Just go and watch the clouds and listen to the birds and admire the trees and relax. / 12 comments
Field Trip: Behind the Scenes at Grand Central Terminal
When Adam saw that the Historic Districts Council was offering a tour of Grand Central Terminal, we couldn't resist—he has always wanted to get inside the glass catwalks above the Apple store, and I like to go anywhere I've never been, particularly if it's typically off-limits. / 7 comments
