Spent some time reading about her. The exhibition focuses on a narrow range of her work. Would happily return.

My husband and I stopped by the David Zwirner galleries on 19th and 20th Streets last Saturday, and…read moreI was really glad we did. David Zwirner is one of the prestige art galleries in NYC. They have the 19th St and 20th St galleries in Chelsea, as well as a gallery on Walker Street and another on E 69th. We stopped by the gallery on W 19th to see "The Great Unseen Collection: A Selection of Works from Joel and Carole Bernstein," which was great and included works by Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Audrey Flack, Alex Katz, and Alice Neel! (The exhibition closes on June 13 if you want to see it.) The gallery was on the smaller side but very minimalist, clean, and beautiful. (Across the street from 525 W 19th, is another David Zwirner gallery at 533 W 19th that has an exhibit of Lisa Yuskavage, so stop by that location as well if you're interested!) After our visit, I signed up for David Zwirner's email newsletter so I can keep up with future exhibits. The gallery's shows are museum-quality, and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

Instead of your usual white box gallery.. it's is all light grey, even the floor! It's not actually a big deal just goes to show the off beaten path mind set behind it's exhibitioners.

I'm shocked that this place has not had any reviewers...until now. I happened upon this gallery and…read morehad to stop by. They showcase interesting - out of the box works of art.

This family owned and operated gallery is a unknown gem that I will return to many times over....perhaps as an artist with my very own photography being featured :-)

Rafael, the owner and his assistant Erin were so accommodating and easy to work with. The gallery held just the right amount of people for the event and everyone raved about how perfect the spot was in terms of lighting, setup and over all space. We were able to accommodate an area for a DJ, have room enough to walk around and mingle and set up an area for food. The location is great if you drive, plenty of parking or if you ride the silver bullet, the L train is right across the street. I was so happy with the experience. I will definitely consider this location as a first choice for future events held in Brooklyn!

The Flowers from Nyssa such a lovely, sweet touch!…read more Okay rented this lovely, cozy space for Sexual Assault Awareness Month Event. The event went smoothly! I would recommend to any charity looking for decent budget space. It was a smaller cozy place, good for less than 60 people standing including 20 people or so sitting. The venue was safe and clean space for us to use. It was easy to setup and put things back when it was time. On to the owner of the space -- I felt that Nyssa, went above and beyond to make sure the event was a success! She was helpful with all details, prompt and great to work with. She is a very kind and down to earth person who cared about our efforts in this event. In the future I hope to host another SAAM event. Of course, if need to a venue like this again, being it's not booked up. Nyssa's The Living Art Gallery will be my go and the main place I'd ever recommend to anyone in need of a venue. Thank you Nyssa!!!

When my sister told me about a museum dedicated to the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal, I…read morecouldn't believe it. Could there really be a space focused on such a specific event, and how do you even get enough pieces to make it a complete museum? However, my curiosity made me want to check out THNK1994, and I was really glad I did. My sister and I went with my nephew, and I will admit that this place may seem lame if you didn't grow up knowing about this 1994 Olympic scandal. We tried to make our excitement contagious, but he could not be bothered. However, we enjoyed seeing the tabloid covers, memorabilia, and artwork inspired by the Harding/Kerrigan kerfuffle. There was one floor each dedicated to both skaters, and it was fun talking to the owners about the inspiration behind the museum. The museum also has rotating exhibits: when I was there, they had a Real Housewives-inspired show. It's a kitschy, campy place that is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a unique experience!

It being such a hot summer day, checking out the art at the Gagosian was a doubly great idea. My…read moreinitial thought was the Picasso exhibit at the location to the west of Central Park, but a friend told me about the Takashi Murakami Japonisme exhibit at the Gagosian which was near the Genesis House. Perfect! The Gagosian gallery area wasn't huge, but held a lot of pieces, both large and small. The staff encouraged me to not get too close, in order to protect the artwork, but I was still able to see the textures and to locate the little fun surprises hidden in the paintings. This was a great exhibit for even those who are not normally into art.

I have a confession to make: I don't drink coffee. That much caffeine makes me jittery like a…read moreheroin addict, and unless I'm going to give up heroin, I just don't need it. So I can't speak on the coffee here.* But I do a lot of work out of coffee shops, and I have to say that Clover's might be my favorite. The space is beautiful, clean and inviting. The service is almost TOO nice, and my chai latte was completely delicious. I wish the seating was a bit more conducive to work; the tables hold my laptop and not much more, but they have plugs at nearly every seat, and a ledge on the right that can hold more than a few people. Also, the classical music being pumped in is so much more relaxing, not to mention more conducive to work, than the punk, metal, indie whatever that you usually encounter at coffee shops. I think I am going to spend a lot of time here. _________ *Except to say that my companion raved about his Clover coffee, so if that's what you are interested in, I think they've got you covered.

Art gallery meets café, serving up contemporary classical music and Intelligentsia Clover coffee?…read more Yes, please! Any joint that's willing to drop the multiple thousands of dollars for a Clover machine is a joint that I immediately presume to take their coffee seriously. That they use Intelligentsia roaster's products just solidifies that stance. There's something so -utterly- hipster and nose-upturning about sipping on a deliciously-brewed cuppa while cranking away on my Macbook, facing an exposed brick wall, sitting under an undoubtedly pricey cloth papier-mâché sculpture. I even got asked to step outside while making a phone call by another patron... which I was more than happy to do. Seriously. People talk to each other here, even if it's just to call each other out. Quality. Yes, folks. This is Brooklyn. And I have arrived.
