Not Just Another Pub

admin — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 23:36:04 +0000

The Upper East Side is starting to turn heads among the craft beer crowd, in a big part due to the brand new Third Avenue Ale House. This bar/restaurant is a step up from the typical neighborhood pub, serving a rotating menu of craft beers from your favorites to ones you’ve never heard of before. And, as an added bonus, the food is more five-star than grease bomb—try the perfectly cooked Lamb Burger served on an English muffin topped with tzatziki with a side of sweet potato fries, all for $8.95.

Park Avenue Turned High Line?

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 11:00:25 +0000

Architects are rethinking the median down Park Avenue. Why not a High Line-esque public park that would offer pedestrians a space to actually use, rather than impatiently pass through? One proposal depicts a promenade stretching all the way from 14th Street to 125thStreet, bringing yet another green space to the Upper East Side.
