Cindy Sherman Exhibit @ MoMA

CINDY SHERMAN EXHIBIT

Exhibit runs until June 11, 2012.
I love NYC for all the museums people can stop by to immerse themselves into cultural richness. One minute you’re running around town through the dirtiest streets and next thing you know, you’re walking into MoMA to be enlightened by all the great work at the exhibits. Or maybe you just went to go to the uber awesome MoMA store- either way MoMA is the place to go to for whatever reason.
I’ve only seen a couple of her work in the past and am excited myself to go to her exhibit at MoMA. She is not only the photographer, but she also puts herself into her work-literally. If you and your date both have interest in contemporary art and photography this should be your next stop.

Vintner Wine Market

location: 9th Ave between 46th and 47th Street <Hell’s Kitchen>
My favorite neighborhood hangout spot!
Very casual neighborhood store but you’ll be surprised with the deliciousness it offers! Gourmet sandwiches, salads, fondue and the best part is that they have craft beers on tap.
The owner is beyond friendly and remembers what you ordered in the past and what you actually enjoyed having. Great service, great food and great place to go with either your friends or even for a casual date.
My favorite: Turkey sandwich with brie, lettuce, tomato & honey mustard ($8.99)

“Lose your senses—one of them, anyway—at this exhibit housed at South Street Seaport. The premise is fairly simple: Participants walk through a completely darkened space (led by a blind or visually impaired guide), which has been filled with sounds and smells unique to New York City (no word yet on whetherthat awful manhole stink is included).” Time Out New York

Darren Bader Exhibit @ MoMA PS1
On view until May 14,2012
” Is Darren Bader is making good art, or is his show at P.s. 1 just a sappy, sentimental ploy to get you to love him? (Not that there’s all that much difference.) The exhibition includes a room containing three cats you can adopt, another where a woman is preparing salad, another where a live iguana is up for adoption (you can do it if you don’t live in New York City, where iguana-owning is unlawful), and another with two burritos on the windowsill and the opening blare of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” in an endless loop that leaves you on the edge of bursting into song. This is late-late-late post–Conceptual Relational Aesthetics. And it’s pretty darn fun, provocative, and satisfying. ” — Jerry Saltz <NYMag>
