ART: Come help open up the new Chelsea gallery, Honey Space, tonight. Check out their inaugural exhibition whilst you nosh on fondue. The space is unique in that it will present "regular programming of site-specific installations and special events...and during normal daytime hours, the space will be open to the public, and unmonitored." Suggested attire for the evening is red (well that's not very creative!). 6pm to midnight // Honey Space [148 11th Ave]......

We've already announced the lineups for days one, two and three at Gothamist House, and here comes day four (the final day). As a reminder, this year WOXY will be broadcasting from the space -- so if you find yourself at work you'll still be able to listen in! At the end of the week stay tuned for a Best of Gothamist House podcast, also provided by WOXY. Now, without further ado: Saturday October 20th......

MOVIE: Bryant Park ends their summer of big screen fun with the classic horror flick Psycho - the movie that made many afraid to shower (and probably scared to check-in to hotels). Bring your best scream...and a blanket. 5pm lawn opens, movie at sundown // Bryant Park // Free EVENT: Listen up vinylphiles, Shakey's Record Fair is tonight and will be the only place in town where you can find that rarity you so desperately......

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a pursuit at 95th St. and 2nd Ave in Manhattan and two pedestrians were struck, a hanging at the D.E.P. plant on Wards Island, and a pipe explosion on 4th Ave. and 2nd St. in Brooklyn. Perhaps the early bird lunch for seniors at the Fort Greene Masonic Temple should be all-ages, because we hear that James Brown impersonator Black Velvet rocks the house. The several-thousand-pages-long environmental impact statement......

The Sundance Institute at BAM Brooklyn Academy of Music For the second year in a row, BAM has teamed up with the Sundance Institute in Park City, Utah to bring a selection of innovative film, theater and music programming to Brooklyn audiences. Last night the series kicked off with a screening of the adorable Son of Rambow, an audience favorite from the '07 festival in January about two English school boys in the '80s creating......

An 18-year-old student who attends either a high school or college, depending on which paper you're reading, was stabbed yesterday morning on Manhattan's East Side. The motive for the attack is uncertain, but people are willing to speculate. In the Daily News (identifying the victim, Alton McCarthy, as a college freshman), McCarthy's mother paints a picture of her son cutting through Central Park to catch a train home, when he is set upon by a......

Battlestar Galactica Marathon (Sunday, 6:00 p.m., WPXN 31) Five episodes of not the recent revival, but the camp Lorne Greene and Dirk Benedict show from 1978. The Frank Sinatra Show: Welcome Home Elvis (Sunday, 8:00 p.m., NJN) Elvis and Frank sing duets of Witchcraft" and Love Me Tender in this episode of his 1957 variety show. The Sopranos (Sunday, 9:00 p.m., HBO) Is there any relevance to the first episode of the final season airing......

This week in the Times, Bruni visits the Four Seasons, awards it two stars. Says, "The standouts on the menu aren’t as numerous as they should be. The signs of a restaurant that runs on two tracks--one for the anonymous, another for the anointed--are too obvious." The restaurant had previously received three stars from Ruth Reichl in 1995. But Bruni also finds a "stubborn magic" still there: in the architecture, the history, and the insider......

Children of Men (directed by Alfonso Cuarón): Seeing movies in the theater is a wonderful viewing experience—big image, big audio, big popcorn—but there's no rewind button. To really enjoy a film like Alfonso Cuarón's futuristic drama Children of Men, the ability to rewind the really masterful sequences for an immediate second or third viewing almost seems necessary. As you watch Clive Owen's Theo makes his way through the chaotic English countryside in 2027 trying to......

MOVIE: The 10th Annual New York International Children's Film Festival commences tonight, starting with the US premiere of the French animated film U (which includes unicorns!). A kid-friendly catered reception will take place after the film. More weekend movies here. Friday (festival through March 11th) // 6pm // Director's Guild of America Theater [110 W 57th St] // $20 EVENT: It's the first Friday of the month, that means it's time to head up to......

Billy Bob Thorton sets aside his raunchy Bad Santa persona with his new family movie The Astronaut Farmer about a man building a rocket in his backyard. This family drama looks cheesy like Velveeta from the previews, but hey, that's what you expect with these "ordinary Dad does extraordinary thing" movies. They're always heavy on the sentiment. Jim Carrey senses the universe may be trying to communicate mysteries to him through numerology and a book......

There's two majorly horrific films coming out this weekend, though only some of the frights are intentional. Gaspard Ulliel seemed like such a nice boy in A Very Long Engagement, but that was before he decided to take on the psycho killer character Hannibal Lecter in the prequel, Hannibal Rising. Apparently in this installment of the series we'll find out what led the Doctor to become a creepy dilettante with a taste for fava beans,......

ART: Check out Pale and Blue at 14 tonight at Giant Robot New York. Jeana Sohn’s paintings are a testament to the bond between humans and nature. Meanwhile, The Village Voice is calling Giant Robot New York, “Best New Gallery/store For Big Kids Who Still Like To Play With Toys.” Closing January 3rd. - Stephanie Nikolopoulos Closing Tomorrow // Giant Robot [437 E 9th St] // Free THEATER: The Big Voice: God or Merman? is......

I first came across Spoon in 2002 when I found a copy of Kill the Moonlight at my library. Being ignorant of music at the time, I didn't know that it was one of the best-reviewed albums of the year. I did know, though, that I liked it. And, since then, Spoon has remained one of my favorite bands, so I jumped on the chance to speak with Britt Daniel to promote Spoon's December 30th......

It's not often that the person opening the door to let you in to a press screening is the distinctive screen personality Crispin Glover but when it happened, Gothamist knew we were in for a unique afternoon. Best known for his creep-tastic roles in Back to the Future, Charlie's Angels and Willard, Glover will be in town to host his directorial debut, What Is It? which begins a three day run at Anthology Film Archives......

After last month's breastfeeding confrontation at Toys R Us (which was followed by a Times Squre nurse in), the Daily News decided to send a reporter undercover. Well, sort of. Tracy Connor, who we really liked while watching Bravo's Tabloid Wars, and her three month old daughter Charlie went on a breastfeeding odyssey in "humble and posh locations" all around town to see "who is hip to NIP" (that's Nurse In Public). Connor and baby......

MOVIES: Seriously, like there is anything else to see this weekend besides Snakes on a Plane. C'mon, you know you wanna. Everytime // Everywhere // $10.75(ish) THEATER: One of the few things the Fringe Festival doesn't have, somewhat surprisingly, is a full-fledged outdoor production. If you want to take advantage of good weather this weekend, check out Pulse Ensemble Theatre's urban adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Directed by Alexa Kelly and performed on a small......

We honestly didn’t expect to love internet sitcom The Burg as much as we do. “Making fun of hipsters…so original,” we thought. But you know what, it’s a really good show, and it “works” somehow. With music by local bands playing in the background, the show is a great snapshot of Brooklyn (even if it’s a small, hilarious, thumbnail photo). The latest episode (the third one so far) is up now and has the characters......

Holy Temple of Dendur! The Metropolitan Museum of Art has raised its suggested admission fee to $20, up from $15. The important thing to note is that the Met does not require people pay an admission fee - you can donate a dollar or a few coins (or nothing at all) and you can still get in. While the Met says the increase was prompted by a $3 million annual operating deficit, we have......

ART: On the Couch: Cartoons From the New Yorker is a collection of cartoons from the magazine which Bob Mankoff (the cartoon editor) says focuses on “the shrink and the shrunk, the practitioner and the practiced upon.” So we're sure you'll all be able to relate, somehow. 10am to 5pm // The Museum of New York [1220 5th Ave] // $9 YOGA: Just reading the words "sunset yoga" is relaxing. Tonight you can actually head......

Just yesterday we were discussing the destruction of the Rivington Street Temple. That was a real loss for the Lower East Side. The building was a classic: arguably beautiful, with real historic value. Contrast that to the Catholic Center at NYU at 58 Washington Square South. This is an ugly building, styled in the conventions of the post-war brutalism movement. The interior is slightly more pleasing to the eye, but the overall, the structure......

Everyone in LES is still pretty stunned by the demolition of the Rivington Street temple that took place last week. We walked by over the weekend, and tons of people were still gathering on the sidewalk, staring into the ruined shell of a building that was once described as "Carnegie Hall for Cantors." Everyone had their cameras out-- snapping pictures of the remaining back wall, which still had the stained glass and undamaged bema.......

Slow week for weddings apparently, but in any event, here they are, this weeks Weddings and Celebrations, by the numbers: Total Number of Weddings: 19 Total Number of Weddings Between Two Heterosexuals: 16 Total Number of Weddings Between Two Homosexuals: 3 Average Age of Brides: 31.8 Average Age of Grooms: 33.5 Oldest Bride: 40 Oldest Groom: 42 Youngest Bride: 26 Youngest Groom: 26 Average Age Difference: 2.5 years Biggest Age Difference: 8 years Number of......

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha be damned. Just cause the foursome aren't continuing their escapades in New York's hottest bars and lounges, there is no reason for Gothamist to stop. We may find the Cosmo passé, but a well-heeled Negroni or Gimlet always coordinate with our Jimmy Choo's. Some of Gothamist's favorite haute spots for glam cocktails: - Flatiron Lounge - Bemelmans Bar - The Star Lounge & Bar at the Ritz-Carlton - Employee's Only......

Yesterday the New York Underground Film Festival kicked off it's 12th year. So until next Tuesday you can catch some of this years indie gems at the Anthology Film Archives. The festival itself is self described as being "punk," developing and expanding without selling out. It also totally has spiked hair and piercings, we saw it. Anyway, you can view the full schedule is here. Our pick is Crispin Glover's long awaited, many incarnations in......

Last Friday's death of a contractor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ruled an accident. The ME's office said the 60 foot fall from the glass ceiling that Marcin Kielar had been waterproofing was the cause of his death; other sources say Kielar was not wearing a safety harness. The Post, which used "Temple of Doom" as their headline, noted that there are "catwalks and rigging" for workers to maintain the area and that......

A worker who had been caulking the glass windows on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum's Temple of Dendur exhibit fell through the glass ceiling to his death this morning. The Temple of Dendur is one of the Met's more popular exhibits, with ruins from an Eqyptian temple set in a beautiful, light filled space (the Temple of Dendur figures prominently in films like When Harry Met Sally, Main in Manhattan, A Perfect Murder and......

Last week, it was announced that Samantha Morton would play photographer Diane Arbus in a film about Arbus's life called Fur. Steven Shainberg, who directed Secretary, will direct, and Secretary screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson will write this screenplay, based on the Arbus biography by Patricia Bosworth. Gothamist is pretty excited, because we love Arbus's work (especially photographs of NY life), and Morton has the kind of attitude that could pull this off. Here's an Arbus......

Artist collective Mixed Greens celebrates the last stretch of summer with Ice Cream Social, a group show curated by playful accessory company Fred Flare. The exhibit features work from Mixed Greens member artists Susan Graham, Holly Lynton, Giles Lyon, Christina Mazzalupo, Adia Millett, Coke O'Neal, Rudy Shepherd, Mary Temple, Leah Tinari and Dirk Westphal. Tonight's opening party morphs Mixed Greens Gallery #1 into a soda fountain, dishing out cool servings of frozen goodness by Cold......
