Gallery Mondays: #MacysFlowerShow 2017 @ Macy’s Herald Sq
I somehow managed to squeeze some time in after work to navigate the maze that is Macy’s Herald Square in order to see the carnival-themed Macy’s Flower Show 2017. I wasn’t able to see it last year (for reasons I cannot remember) but this year, I was determined to check it out, and I wasn’t…

Gallery Mondays: “London Calling” by Nina Edwards
On my way to work over the last few weeks, I’ve had the delight of walking passed Nina Edwards‘ Metropolitan Fashion exhibit in the Garment District’s Space for Public Art. The exhibit features fashionable women in major cities painted in watercolor. My favorite of the exhibit is “London Calling.” From Big Ben in the backdrop…

Gallery Mondays: Hung Yi’s Fancy Animal Carnival
Since September, the Garment District in NYC has seen a splash of vibrantly colored animals along Broadway between 36th and 41st Streets. Created by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi, the installation is called Fancy Animal Carnival. It’s very fitting, especially since these animals, which include pandas, camels, and bulls, are decorated so intricately with carnival-like colors. My…

Gallery Mondays: Rise Above
About two weeks ago I saw this amazing art installation in the Flatiron Prow Art Space. Created by Sarah Haviland, the installation is called Rise Above, and it glows beautifully in this space at night. I’m not sure what it looks like during the daylight hours, but those winged figures sure look magical in the…

Gallery Mondays: Winter Rabbit
We had our first official snow day of 2017 this weekend. Not fun. On my way to the N train last week, I walked by Chase bank on West 39th between Fashion Ave. and Broadway when I saw this cute winter rabbit on the window. I just love how innocent and vulnerable he looks! The…

Gallery Mondays: Spa
We got our first snow in NYC over the weekend, but I wasn’t even mad because I had a reservation at Russian and Turkish Baths in the East Village. I went with Karina, who has been to a few other bath houses before the one we went to on Saturday. It was my first time…

Gallery Mondays: Puck
Back in September, I was walking through NoLIta after buying tickets for a show at Mercury Lounge when I saw this golden statue on the Puck Building, known as the home of retail store REI. When I first saw the statue, which is one of Shakespeare’s characters named Puck (hence the name of the building),…

Gallery Mondays: On Ripeness and Rot
Is it still hunting season? I saw this rather interesting piece of art last month at Last Rites Gallery in Midtown. The piece is part of Kimberly Witham’s On Ripeness and Rot series, which contrasts fresh fruits with dead animal carcasses. How’s that for morbid? It’s crazy how she combines the two so gracefully, almost as they…

Gallery Mondays: A Bird’s Life by Elizabeth Grajales
Time for some art from New York City’s underground! On the way to the gym last month, I saw these gorgeous tiled art pieces by Elizabeth Grajales called A Bird’s Life on the platform of the 1 train at Penn Station. I was drawn to it immediately because of the soft green color. I then noticed…
