I spent last weekend jumping around to a few dozen Midtown & Upper East Side galleries. Two exhibitions were way ahead of the pack and certainly worth the trip.
Uptown galleries have a totally different feel than Chelsea or the Lower East Side but the same rules apply – find the address and let yourself in (some galleries uptown have security or lobby attendants – just tell them where you’re going and they’ll help you out).

This weekend I spent some time in Soho. Because it's not a neighborhood currently featured on the site, I wanted to point out a few shows.

One of the goals of this website is simplification. The art scene in NYC (like most other “scenes” here) is complex and overwhelming…. To cover it all is impossible, not only logistically, but at some point a website becomes un-navigate-able.   One downside is that I occasionally see shows outside of Chelsea and the Lower East Side that I'd really like to talk about.   For those who read my blog – I’ll start writing them here in a new category I will call “Off the Chart(s)”.
