P.S.1 (Long Island City, Queens)

P.S.1 (MOMA’s eccentric sister museum) displays progressive and cutting edge art. What stands out most are the cozy video art exhibits that are often fashioned to simulate a private viewing. Incredibly cheap admission is also a huge plus. P.S.1, like MOMA, showcases modern art. But, here you are more likely to explore more avant-garde and shocking imagery. In no way could P.S.1 replace the MOMA experience. It will, however, give you a distinctly different experience with merit of its own. Check out their website at www.ps1.org.

Review By Christopher K. on Yelp.com

Everyone listen up:

The best cupcakes and desserts have been found.

After a long evening watching the Yankee Game, four of us stumbled up to the door of Sweet Revenge. It was well past midnight and the door was locked, but the window was open. After a short plea to let us in, the owner (and cupcake goddess) obliged. What took place after that was sheer culinary carnage. Luckily, lots of items had already sold out or we would have eaten ourselves into oblivion.

I have been hunting for the greatest red velvet cupcake on the planet for years, and the second I took a bite of Sweet Revenge's, I knew my search was over. This was the best cupcake I ever had. And the owner couldn't have been a better host.

If you have been longing for a great cupcake, or any kind of sweet/savory dessert-like thing -- you absolutely have not lived until you drop in on Sweet Revenge.
