JOURNEYS: SPECIALTY MUSEUMS; Finding Art, Not Crowds, in New York

Image
By SETH KUGELAPRIL 16, 2006VISITORS who have stood in the main hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gaping at a floor plan and realizing that they could never, ever see everything inside, should know this: New York museums come in all sizes. While you could spend an entire weekend in the Greek and Roman section of the XXL Met, you could also pack six XS museums in a single weekend, see every single display, and eat like a king nearby.Mideast Art in MidtownViewing a collection of 19th- and 20th-century European academic art may not sound like the most diverting cultural activity, but the works on display at the Dahesh cases Museum in the I. B. M. Building on Madison Avenue are not the scribblings of great artists who were bored in math class. Instead, according to the Dahesh's visitor's guide, they are the result of "rigorous training, historical subject matter and polished execution," and include works like Gustav Bauernfeind's "Jaffa, Recruiting of Turk...

outdoor patios, nanobreweries welcomed in uptown waterloooutdoor patios, nanobreweries welcomed in uptown waterloooutdoor patios, nanobreweries welcomed in uptown waterloo

Patio season is about to become official in uptown Waterloo. Restaurants, coffee shops, tea rooms, bake shops and retail stores will soon be allowed to set up outdoor patios on public property, as long as they secure a licence through the city or region, depending on the road. Council's committee of the whole voted in favour of the zoning bylaw amendment April 3. Previously, uptown's bylaw was silent on outdoor patios, although businesses were creating informal versions on private property. Soon, they can extend right up to the roadway. "With the LRT and resulting large sidewalks, we see more 12v potential for patios in uptown," said Joel Cotter, planning approvals director. City staff are in the final stages of deciding the licence agreement. Once that's done, and council approves the amendment later this month, businesses can start the licensing process and set up patios for this summer. Businesses must establish a unobstructed pedestrian path and separat...

making the crib mattress more comfortable

Image
In my FTM (first time mom) SIDS phobia obsession, I bought probably the hardest mattress on the face of the earth - the Colgate Classica Foam (Baby Bargains was my bible). The mattress is seriously hard as a rock. DD (dear daughter) and I have been co-sleeping for the past month or so (long story) and I need to transition her back to her crib. Of course, I'm sure she's gotten used to the much more comfortable regular mattress now - If I was her, I certainly wouldn't want to sleep on that hard surface.In an effort to ease the rubber transition back to the crib, I'd like to use a pillow top or a cushy mattress cover or something to make it more comfortable. Anyone use anything that they like/recommend to make LO's mattress more comfortable? The water proof mattress pads I have (all 3 of them) basically don't do anything to add much comfort. There's a slight "quilt" to the ones I have, but the mattress certainly doesn't feel any softer...

The best frying pans you can buy, from cast iron to non-stick and stainless steel

Image
T o find the best frying pans on the market, weasked chefs, food writers, and cookware professionals for their thoughts, and then put the standout itemsto the test in The Telegraph kitchen. After consulting with the experts, we decided that the pan we're looking for is versatile – it can cook different types of food to good effect – durable – it won't end up in the bin after three months – and good value for money – meaning it's either pleasingly affordable or so long-lasting that you won't ever have to buy the item again. There are a lot of different types of frying pan out there, so we narrowed our search to three main fields: iron pans (highly durable but harder to maintain), non-stick pans (easy seal to maintain but less durable) and stainless steel (highly spoken of by the pros but tricky to use). Each frying pan was tested for a variety of regular functions: frying or scrambling eggs, searing steaks, sautéing vegetables. We also considered: weight,ease of use,am...
