Pace/MacGill: DO
I've made a couple snide comments in recent posts about how the dealers are all in the Hamptons and phoning in their shows from the beach, depriving me of some cheap (free!) summer entertainment with their abbreviated hours and weekend closures. It occured to me that this was a might bit hypocritical seeing as how I've taken a break from going to shows in the last few weeks. But then, I'm sitting in a windowsless classroom on the weekends while they're sipping Long Island ice teas.
Another of the ubiquitous summer group shows is "Do" at Pace/MacGill. The organizing theme this time around is hairstyles and seems to be mixed visual media, not just photography. But fave Lauren Greenfield is in the mix, along with Guy Bordin, Chuck Close, Loretta Lux, Alexander Rodchenko, etc. I'd post a sample, but the P/M Website is nothing more than an online business card, so until I can actually get to the show, I have no idea what's on the walls.

As a native (albeit now former) New Yorker, realized one of my childhood dreams opening up the Fish Creek House Bed and Breakfast in Montana.
So pancakes are a subject near and dear to my heart Here's one of our guests favorites especially since we use butter made in Montana by the local Amish and grow blueberries in our onsite greenhouse.
