Our favorite London-based miniature installation artist Slinkachu has kicked off the new year with a little souvenir he left in Moscow’s Gorky Park. His latest piece titled “Stroll,” much like it’s predecessors, was left subtly around. Also, it was “crushed” and “bleeding” inside a human footprint, which is all the well as it is 30°F in Moscow right […]
Even when she’s not slithering around naked covered in glitter, I’ve been transfixed with this creature ever since she took the world “slut” back or something like that.

According to this very nifty map the Gothamist found, the zip code 11221 has experienced the biggest number of reported rat sightings in 2010 through 2012 — a whopping 965 number of reports, nearly ten times the number of reports on the Upper East Side. We’re guessing it’s not the regular rat-sized rats either. Most of us don’t bat […]
John McCourt is a recent Manhattan transplant and self-professed “Starbucks addict” who, for whatever reason, has taken it upon himself to visit every overpriced espresso outpost in the city. From his blog: So I ask the question. Are all Starbucks created equal? Starbucks is known for consistency across the nation, but in a city of […]
New York artist Man Bartlett never got to sit with diva Marina Abramović at her MoMA The Artist Is Present performance and look longingly into her eyes and have an awakening and cry and I did but don’t be mad though because… You too can own a piece of Marina!
