Birch Coffee (5 East 27th Street) is hosting their 3rd annual Arrested Development marathon, showing every single episode from one of the best tv comedy series ever. While it won 6 Emmy awards, a Golden Globe, and was named by TIME as one of the 100 best TV series of all time, it seemed to go under the radar of most people. They will play them in order and if you are new to the show, I suggest getting their from the first episode. If you are watching them again, come any time to watch a few episodes.
If you have not see it, it’s definitely worth watching (ideally from the beginning). It stars Jason Bateman, David Cross, Michael Cera, Portia de Rossi, Jeffrey Tambor, Will Arnett, and Ron Howard with voiceover, among many amazing cameos.
It runs 9am to 9pm on both January 1st and January 2nd and they will have nonstop food and drink specials. See more at www.birchcoffee.com/blog/3rd-annual-arrested-development-marathon.

We did a double-take this morning as we saw what appeared to be a large flat screen TV hanging from a tree in Madison Square Park. There was a film shoot nearby, so that seemed like a possible cause but in fact we think it may be part of the upcoming art installation from the Madison Square Art program curated by the Madison Square Park Conservancy.
Starting December 15th and running through March 12th, 2012, Dutch artist Jacco Olivier will have 6 stop-animations on display throughout the park and we suspect this will be one of them. The animations are based on him painting and re-painting a single work and photographing it at various stages.
“Mad. Sq. Art is pleased to bring Jacco Olivier and his richly colorful work to Madison Square Park”, stated Debbie Landau, President of the Madison Square Park Conservancy. “The subtle yet engaging quality of his animations will infuse an appreciated energy into the Park during the winter months ahead, drawing connections between scenes of natural landscape in his beautiful, painterly animations and the natural life of the Park that so commonly lays hidden beneath the snow each winter.”
Here is an example of his work called ‘Turning Point’.
