EVENT: Earlier this year Holly Hunter encountered an interesting situation with an interviewer for a news station (we highly recommend watching the YouTube video of this). She discussed her tv series Saving Grace at the time, and she'll be doing the same tonight at the Paley Center (old Museum of TV and Radio). There will be a Q&A as well as a screening of one of the episodes. 6pm // The Paley Center for Media...

Six years ago musician Gail Silverman, tired of watching her fellow female rockers sitting on the sidelines, started her own record label, Revolutionary Records and a concert series called Girls Rock and Girls Rule (GRGR).

Founded during the 1950's by Marion Nagy, a Hungarian emigrant of the Stalinist era, who, after a short-lived modeling career in Paris found herself opening a restaurant on the Bowery, Marion's Continental is a kitchy, yet glitzy downtown staple and home to some of the best martinis in all of New York. Now run by her son Richard Bach, Marion's was historically a haven for literati, drag queens, and late night bar crawlers. The menu offers nouveau American cuisine with seasonal variations -- jazzed up versions of steak (Steak Au Poivre), burgers (with bacon & blue cheese), ravioli, and roast chicken -- that accompany an indulgent martini list. Claiming the fame of having invented the "Metropolitan," a head-spinning combination of Absolut Kurant, lime juice, and a hint of cranberry with lime garnish, Gothamist likes Marion's best for late night cocktails, especially with monthly martini specials and the tasty fried calamari you can nosh on at the bar.
