What to Expect at Tonight's Meatpacking Uncorked Event

Welcome to Meatpacking Uncorked, a party that will take over the neighborhood from 6 to 9 tonight. “It’s a little bit like Fashion’s Night Out — but more curated,” explains Annie Washburn, associate director of the Food Network NYC Wine and Food Festival, the annual foodie extravaganza hosting scores of mouthwatering events across the city this weekend.

Tauba Auerbach’s Quarry

It’s not always easy to distinguish an artwork from an everyday object. When an artist uses the same materials, it’s even more confusing ­ and amusing.
