Blockbuster Shows at MoMA: Matisse’s The Cut Outs and Robert Gober’s The Heart Is Not a Metaphor
It's blockbuster art show season again at the city's great museums, and so far MoMA seems to be the hands-down winner with not one but TWO big crowd-pleasers. Matisse's Cut-Outs exhibition fills MoMA's big sixth floor space and Robert Gober's powerful The Heart Is Not a Metaphor takes over the contemporary galleries on the second floor as well as the museum's main rotunda. Even though lines are long, you should make some time now and get to MoMA before the holiday insanity really kicks in. Here's what you can expect.
A Collection of Famous Eateries Arrive In Bryant Park
Midtown East does some things very well, the indispensable Grand Central and Bryant Park among them, but the neighborhood around these two landmarks definitely isn't known as a great place to grab a bite to eat. Up until now, the list of options largely included an array of unappealing sandwich-and-salad chains, mediocre burger bars, and the random fro-yo joint. If you work in the immediate vicinity, you know how uninspiring lunchtime can be. And then... suddenly, though, all of that blahness seems to have changed, with a pair of crucial new additions. Find out the best place to grab a NYC-famous sandwich or a cup of fresh roasted coffee with a tasty pistachio croissant. Get excited about all the new options - and all just in time for ice skating season!

Tasty Tacos at Empellon al Pastor, Now Open in the East Village
Chef Alex Stupak has been making very good food for a bunch of years now - tasty tacos and even better drinks, not to mention mounds of the best guacamole available anywhere in the city. At his brand new and predictably packed Empellon Al Pastor on St. Marks, Stupak is turning out some amazing, you guessed it, TACOS, including a truly remarkable version of the joint's namesake creation. We went (twice!) this week in the restaurant's opening week; we think you should too - tell'em we sent ya!

Burke & Wills, A Grown-Up Australian Bistro Shines On The Upper West Side
A taste of 'down under' has invaded the Upper West Side! Burke & Wills, the Australian bistro is full of good location and great atmosphere.

Sesame Street Takes Over Lincoln Center’s New York Public Library of the Performing Arts
Sesame Street is one those rare cultural touchstones that can function as both heartwarming nostalgia and fresh contemporary entertainment. That it actively educates at the same time is nothing short of a miracle. Which is why it's hard to imagine anyone, of any age, not enjoying the terrific little Sesame Street 45th-anniversary exhibition at Lincoln Center New York Public Library For the Performing Arts, "Somebody Come and Play."

Welcome to the sweet life! What's wrong with salad for supper? Nothing - if it's from Sweetgreen Tribeca. The DC-based chain, Sweetgreen, opened their second NYC location.
