Hey, Mansome
February 3, 2013
Hey, Mansome by AnneLise Sorensen “Super Size Me” director Morgan Spurlock turns his attention from McDonald’s to mustaches in the new documentary “Mansome,” which explores men’s grooming, from manicures to manscaping. What does it mean to be a man? That’s the central question – esoteric but earnest – in the film. The second question of […]
Feliz Año Nuevo in NYC
December 19, 2012
Feliz Año Nuevo in NYC by AnneLise Sorensen Skip the sticky-floor pubs on Third Avenue where everyone’s wearing glitter 2013 glasses. Forget paying $500 to stand on a rooftop and sip overpriced champagne. And, good God, steer clear of the drunken hordes in Times Square. Instead, celebrate New Year’s Eve like they do in Spain […]
Cig Harvey: Candid Camera
December 1, 2012
Cig Harvey: Candid Camera by AnneLise Sorensen The place: Robin Rice Gallery The space: Utilitarian yet elegant – with a light bohemian touch – the Robin Rice Gallery looks like the old West Village, when artists could actually afford the rent in this neighborhood. Pane-glass windows give way to a simple, hardwood-floor space hung with […]
The “Hipster Apocalypse” is Here
October 9, 2012
The “Hipster Apocalypse” is Here by AnneLise Sorensen “Hipsters Illegally Killed Upstate Deer While Making Hipster Apocalypse Movie.” Those were the kind of headlines that preceded the premiere of the film “First Winter,” which opened this year.

September 8, 2012
Cat Woman by AnneLise Sorensen Much like her name, which means “cat” in Romany, Kali Mutsa has several lives. By day, she’s Celine Reymond, a successful Chilean soap opera actress. By night, she performs as her alter ego, Kali Mutsa, who, as her bio explains, “was born sometime in August 1920, in the Valley of […]
Nick Flynn: Another Bulsh*t Night in Suck City
September 8, 2012
Nick Flynn: Another Bulsh*t Night in Suck City by AnneLise Sorensen Writers find inspiration in many places – sunsets, an emotional breakup, a bottle of whiskey. Or, in the case of writer and poet Nick Flynn, in “Harold and Maude.” The series “Under the Influence: Writers on Film” invites top literary figures to the screening […]
Tennis: The Seafaring Singers
June 23, 2012
Tennis: The Seafaring Singers by AnneLise Sorensen It’s said that the best way to get to know a person is by living with them. But to really get to know them? Sail the length of the Atlantic Seaboard together, in a small boat, for eight months. That’s what husband-and-wife duo and Tennis band members Alaina […]
Japadog Waddles Into NYC
June 23, 2012
Japadog Waddles Into NYC by AnneLise Sorensen Japadog, the popular Canadian hot dog chain, waddled into Astor Place this year. Here, the hot dog receives a Japanese makeover, with pungent toppings like seaweed, bonito flakes, fried cabbage, and miso sauce. Equally popular are the “shaked fries,” which are coated with everything from wasabi and curry […]
