With summer quickly descending its time for the annual ascent of New York's drinkers to our metropolis's many rooftops. We've already told you some of our favorites, but new ones just keep popping up. In Williamsburg you've got the rooftop of the new Wythe Hotel, and in Manhattan Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group has recently revamped the lovely Terrace above the Gramercy Park Hotel. So yesterday we went and checked the beauty out. more ›

Sunset Park is swell, and Flushing's malls are great and all but they're missing the Manhattan Bridge, a City Hall skyline, narrow streets that reek of fish guts and history, and the jaw-dropping amount of absurdly delicious (and cheap) cuisine that Manhattan's Chinatown boasts. more ›

Pok Pok, Pok Pok, Pok Pok. While not much was written in advance about UES Thai spot Dragonfly, the food blogs have been chomping at the bit the last few months over Pok Pok Ny, the just-opened sit-down restaurant from Portland chef Andy Ricker. And, considering how much of the food's ingredients are sourced from Thailand (most of them), and how good it all looks—we can understand. more ›

Though the ocean's fish might disagree, as far as we're concerned New York can never have enough quality sushi. So let's all give a hearty konnichiwa to the West Village newcomer Neta, which comes from two men who, after many years at Masa and its sibling Bar Masa, really should know their sushi. more ›

Apparently the folks of Bushwick weren't quite ready for the charms of the multi-city bar chain Beauty Bar. After three years there they've cut their losses and moved to the presumably more accepting arms of Park Slope. If you've been to the OG BB in Manhattan, you know what to expect. The stroller set are going to love it. more ›

For the last three years, former Rosa Mexicano Culinary Director Roberto Santibañez has been keeping Park Slopers happy with his Mexican restaurant Fonda. Now he's hoping to do the same for Alphabet City with a second outpost. And this one is about 50 percent bigger—and should be a touch boozier! more ›

Yesterday was apparently a rough one for New York's older fashion set. Not only did 95-year-old fashion maven Zelda Kaplan collapse at a show and later die but everyone's favorite photographer, the Times's amazing Bill Cunningham, was struck by an SUV! more ›

Pre-fashion week parties are not our scene. Impeccable cheekbones sipping $20 cocktails, sneaking cigarettes between cackles: not our scene. Bottle service: definitely not our scene. But as we helped ourselves to someone else's expensive vodka while we waited for Deborah Harry to grace W.i.P.'s tiny stage, it dawned on us: if stealing top shelf liquor from friendly suits and dancing next to men in 3-foot wigs was in fact a scene, it was a cheerily comfortable one. more ›

At the end of last year we took a food and drink tour of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and in what will be an ongoing series of exploring the city's neighborhoods, we've now given the same treatment to South Slope. Click through to explore... more ›

Traditionally we reserve a space in our dark hearts for the Idiotarod. But after seeing these photos and hearing our intrepid photographer deem this year's event the "worst Idiotarod ever," we're wondering if it's time for the Idiotarod to stare at the sunset and think of the rabbits. more ›

Park Slope, barbecue destination? Why not! Not only is Dinosaur BBQ heading to the 'hood, but this week brings the debut of Fort Reno Provisions, a boozy new 'que house on Union Street from the owner of nearby Palo Santo. Brisket by the pound, anyone? more ›

A few weeks ago, we posted the menu for Talde, the new Asian fusion joint in Park Slope from former Top Cheffer Dale Talde and neighborhood favorites David Massoni and John Bush (of Thistle Hill Tavern). The restaurant is now officially up and running, turning out plates of Hawaiian pork buns, oyster-bacon pad Thai, Korean fried chicken and more, plus wine, beer and cocktails like Brooklyn Sling (gin, Luxardo, pineapple, house-made grenadine and bitters) and the Pacquiao Punch, a top-secret recipe that pays homage to Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino boxing champion, statesman and Talde’s personal hero. more ›

The Vintage Tea & Swing Dancing Party took place on Saturday afternoon, bringing the Roaring Twenties underground to the 2nd Avenue F train platform... which actually didn't exist until 1936, but it's okay! more ›
