Summer Fun Both Inside and Outside At The Met
No such thing as summer vacation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! True, like all of our world-class cultural institutions, the Met holds back any true blockbuster art shows for the fall season, and the heavy tourist influx around the holidays, but summer is huge up here by the park as well, with seemingly […]

Here Are The 5 Best NYC Things To Do In July
July 2015 is so packed with fun events, outdoor concerts, festivals and things to do. Here's some favorites going on all over NYC in the coming weeks.
NYC Summer Adventure: Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens
The Socrates Sculpture Park, located at the western end of Broadway in Long Island City, Queens (about a half mile walk from the N/Q station), is one of the great grass-roots success stories of the past few decades here in New York City. In 1986 a group of local activists and artists banded together and, with some help and leadership from world-renowned sculptor Mark di Suverno, transformed an illegal dumping ground and abandoned landfill into both a working studio and a public exhibition space right on the banks on the East River.
7 Santiago Calatrava Sculptures Line Park Avenue
Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava reasserts the ties between art and architecture in a new exhibition of seven monumental sculptures along Park Avenue in New York, while work continues on the controversial train station he designed for the place where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood.
The Summer Guide To Governors Island
Governors Island is a 172-acre island located in New York Harbor between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Access to the island is limited to May 26 through September 30 on weekends and holiday Mondays. No summer in New York is complete without a trip to Governors Island, NY's car-free oasis in Upper New York Bay. Check out our list of places to go, things to do & fun events to take part in this summer on Governors Island.
Exploring America’s Great Migration at MoMA
It's one of the most significant (and, to my mind, one of the most interesting) stories in American history, the epic tale of the "Great Migration" of American blacks, as six million descendants of slaves fled the Jim Crow south to the cities of the north and west between the First World War and 1970, and forever changed pretty much everything about the nation, economically, culturally, politically, sociologically. There's so much to this vast demographic shift, the implications so deep and lasting, that it's impossible to fully capture in a single art exhibition, or book, but two recent endeavors--one an exhibition at MoMA, the other a Pulitzer Prize-winning book--do an excellent job of bringing the story to life.
Your Guide to Rockaway Beach 2015
No question, Rockaway Beach got hit hard by Hurricane Sandy almost three years ago, and recovery's been slow-going in parts, but there's also no doubt in my mind that Rockaway Beach remains New York City's best subway beach. By which I mean: exit the subway, and you're just two blocks or so from the water. Farther out on Rockaway there are a couple of terrific public beaches, at Fort Tilden and Jacob Riis Park, but you'll need a car, or a bike, or a bus, to get there. But to get to what most people call Rockaway Beach, the A train, usually plus the Shuttle, puts you right there. I went out to Rockaway a couple of times over Memorial Day Weekend, mostly around the popular Beach 90 to Beach 99 area, and here's a quick look at what's new, and what still needs some work.
One World Observatory Now Open to the Public
It took eleven years to build, which sometimes seemed like forever. Especially that first half decade or so when there was just that monster hole in the ground, and the construction process was more about meetings and arguments than the actual laying of steel. And then, after a burst of building, all of a sudden One World Trade Center was done, with the first tenants moving in last fall, and, last week, the One World Observatory on the 100th, 101st, and 102nd floors opened to the public.
