It was a beautiful day in New York and, although I was born in New York, grew up in New York and now live in New York, it was my first visit to Randalls Island in Manhattan to see the inaugural Frieze Art Fair. I have to admit I went over the Triborough Bridge twice trying to find the exhibit exit.

The Frieze Art Fair New York, an extension of the art magazine, took place in Randalls Island Park from May 4 through 7. Frieze New York featured 180 contemporary international galleries with a strong emphasis on American and European, many of them regular exhibitors at Frieze London, their annual art fair in London.

Times’ writers predict Lakers will fall to Thunder in six games

By on May 19th, 2012

What should the Lakers feel optimistic about against Oklahoma City?

Mike Bresnahan: The Lakers actually showed some fire in their double-overtime victory over OKC last month. Cant remember a Lakers crowd ever getting that into a regular-season game.

The Lakers defense really showed me something in Game 7 against Denver. Not sure where it was the whole series, but the Lakers will have to employ it the entire time against OKC.

Ben Bolch: The Lakers 7-footers give them an advantage, provided they show up. Of course, that didnt always happen in the first round. The Lakers also have a potential Kevin Durant stopper in Metta World Peace, who will be eligible to play in the entire...

By on May 19th, 2012

Four days after setting out on this adventure, which covered 850 total miles all over the state of New York, I cant imagine theres anything else you could want to know about Patriots first-round draft pick Chandler Jones. Through this series, weve taken you to Chandlers high school, to his parents home, to his college and, memorably, to a fitting room in the original Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Its been a wild ride and a lot of fun. When you set out on an assignment like this, you have no idea how it will turn out. But there were plenty of signs along the way that we were headed in the right direction, from the initial phone call to Camille Jones that got the ball rolling,...
