Francesca Woodman @ Guggenheim

/in , /by

Francesca Woodman (click for further info)

Francesca Woodman was a photographer who was known for her black and white photos, which mainly featured herself and other female models. Most of her work contain nudity and blurred images that have a haunting yet compelling effect on the viewers.

Woodman’s career came to an end too soon when she committed suicide at a young age of 22 in 1981. Her short but solid career will be shared at this exhibit with more than 120 photographs and her short films will be on view as well.

 

Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1071 Fifth Ave. between 88th and 89th Sts)

When: OPENS Friday 3/16 through 6/13

St. Patrick's Day-southern style @ Southern Hospitality

/in , /by

If you’re too lazy to hit the St. Patrick’s Day parade and would rather feast on delicious southern yumminess here’s a place for you to go.

Also, we all know heavy drinking is bound to happen on St. Paddy’s Day so to prevent having a regretful morning on Sunday, we should ready our stomachs with some deliciousness.

Southern Hospitality has a special southern style menu for this coming Saturday.

Saturday, March 17, 2012 11am-6pm

Go out with your date, gather up a group of friends and have a finger licking feast. To make it better, top it all off with some irish car bombs, green jello shots and more festivities :)

We don’t recommend going to a bar at 11:00pm for the first date, but maybe a day date out to Brooklyn can be forgiven!
Check out One Stop Beer Shop in Brooklyn to shop and to have some beer. They have more than 100 different beers and also have cocktails. The cocktail featured in the video above looks perfect for a spring day, especially since the weather in NYC is amazing these days.
If you’re a Manhattanite, even trekking down to Brooklyn can be a special date out with your Bagel. Do the whole package- walk the Brooklyn Bridge, chill out at One Stop Beer Shop and bring some back home! Best part of this place is the growlers. You can either get it for pick up or order for delivery but you can bring your favorite beer home in glass jugs, which keeps them carbonated for at least a month.
Done, I’m sold. If I can bring my Dogfish 60 home after a great date out in Brooklyn, I’ll do it.

Location: 134 Kingsland Ave, near Beadel St, Brooklyn

Cindy Sherman Exhibit @ MoMA

/in , /by

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.
