Pavlo Mochi serves some of the best mochi in New York City.
When our correspondent Waso visited a mochi café in New York, he didn’t expect to be this impressed. What followed was less a review and more a love letter to Pavlo Mochi and its vibrant Ukrainian-inspired flavors. Mochi You Want to Share With the World I used to really love sweets, especially desserts until I…
An Ark at the Shed review
My short review of the show An Ark at the prestigious venue The Shed, which bills itself as “the first theatrical production created for mixed reality.” My expectations were high: The Shed clearly aims to set a new standard and present something not just ultra-technological, but a fresh take on AR/VR through bold, creative, and skillful blending…

Omi Art Park — a contemporary art park in New York State
It’s starting to feel like we’re putting together a guide to sculpture parks in New York State, which is a great excuse to stretch the geography beyond the star-powered city and into the much quieter state around it. After the epic Storm King and the clever, tongue-in-cheek Turn Park, we want to talk about Omi…
TurnPark Art Space — a sculpture park in Massachusetts
TurnPark Art Space is an open-air sculpture museum in Massachusetts, about a 2.5-hour drive from New York City. It opened in 2017. Unlike Storm King, the sculpture park we recently wrote about, TurnPark stays open year-round, including winter. What’s especially interesting is that TurnPark was founded by immigrants from Moscow. It’s a private initiative by…
Pepsi-Cola Sign — New York’s main neon sign
If there were a list of 50 reasons to love American culture, it would definitely include a point about Americans’ love for large neon signs. And while everyone knows sign №1 — the undisputed leader in status and recognizability (of course, the Hollywood Sign) — we would give second place, despite strong competitors, to New…
Visiting White Rabbit’s Books
This is a children’s bookstore (with books in Hebrew, Ukrainian, English, and Russian) and a great place for meetups and engaging lectures. We got lucky: our correspondent attended a talk by Dmitry Popov, a curator at the Roerich Museum in New York. It was incredibly fascinating to immerse ourselves in the world of the entire…
A secret café inside the World Trade Center
There’s a café that could probably claim the title of having the best view in New York. It’s located on the 64th floor of One World Trade Center. And since it has no competition inside the building, its name is as simple as it gets — CAFÉ. On the one hand, you can only get…
Brigitte Bardot — a legend of French cinema
On December 28, 2025, Brigitte Bardot passed away at the age of 91. The French actress, singer, and activist was born on September 28, 1934, in Paris and became one of the defining icons of the 20th century.

One Times Square — New York’s newest observation deck
The One Times Square observation deck opened on December 17, 2025, right in the heart of New York City at Times Square itself. You’re not standing on some distant rooftop far above the city. You’re hovering directly over the epicenter, watching the flow of crowds on one of the most pedestrian-heavy squares in the world,…
