THINGS TO DO IN NYC THIS WEEKEND

ECO CRUISE

New York Harbor continues to make a remarkable return to environmental health, enticing all kinds of nature back to the city. The local pros at Seastreak are running eco cruises right in our own back yard. This Saturday marks the last seal trip of the year. Cruise past multiple seal hangouts (ships usually have a 100% success rate for sightings). Once you get a good look at the seals near Sandy Hook—one of their favorite gathering spots—you’ll cruise north towards Hoffman and Swinburne Islands, where seals like to “haul out” and sun themselves on the rocks. You can do some birding as well, with loons and double-crested cormorants among the shorebird possibilities. A wildlife expert from the American Littoral Society is on hand for IDing species and sharing background on the critters. Trips leave from Highlands, NJ, but Manhattan visitors can connect via ferries at Wall Street in the Financial District and East 35th Street in midtown. (Beyond wildlife, it’s just great to get out on the water and take in the skylines.) 

FLOWER SHOW

Window display from a previous year.

Another sign of spring: the 48th Annual Macy’s Flower Show launches on Sunday. The Herald Square flagship will be transformed into a dream-like city in the sky, with thousands of plants, flowers, and trees taking root, many in defiance of gravity. A special DIOR showcase adds scent to the mix. Free, through April 10th.

AMAZIN' DAY

The Mets' 2023 opening day is next week and NYC gets in the spirit with a Mets city takeover on Saturday. Grab a Mets cap and make the most of Amazin' Day, with free admission to city icons, merch giveaways, and tons of chances to win Mets tickets.

NEW YORK WATER WEEK

The city's look at its waterways wraps up with a three-hour guided tour from midtown on Friday. Stewardship on the Water: A Boat Tour from the Bronx to Brooklyn will sail past community-led projects including kelp farms, constructed salt marshes, floating gardens, and new river access. A box lunch is included in the ticket price.

ARTISAN MARKET

Launching this Saturday, Hudson Yards will help you shop local from pop-up artisans. Look for custom jewelry, tufting, apothecary, self-care, and sustainable options. There will be workshops as well; the Artisan Market runs Saturdays through April 29th.

BRUNCH LAUNCH

The Tin Building is the culinary epicenter of the Seaport, a mix of cuisines and atmospheres all under the singular vision of star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The latest here is weekend brunch. Among the highlights: lobster Benedicts at Fulton Fish Co.; baked eggs at The Frenchman’s Dough; brioche French toast at T. Brasserie; and a farm egg dosa at the artisanal Seeds & Weeds. In keeping with brunch traditions, Bloody Marys and other craft cocktails are available as well.

FLAMENCO FESTIVAL

A living legend in flamenco, Sara Baras returns to City Center for the first time since 2019. Through Sunday, she'll bring her mix of classic forms and modern sensibilities with her new show Alma.

NEW IMMERSIVE

Brooklyn creative space Pioneer Works presents a new mixed reality experience, Medusa. Created by Tin Drum, the world's leading Mixed Reality studio, the show uses special glasses to overlay virtual architecture on Pioneer Works' soaring historical industrial space. Inspirations come in part from the aurora borealis and underwater bioluminescence; strap on the special glasses and find yourself mesmerized.

SUMMIT ONE VANDERBILT

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt blends elements of art, technology, architecture, and thrill to take the concept of “observation deck” to entirely new heights. With three floors of immersive space that will challenge, inspire, and thrill, guests can awaken their senses and surrender to new perceptions of what is possible. Consisting of 30,375 square feet of mirrors and sweeping 360-degree views of Manhattan, SUMMIT offers one of the most Instagrammable experiences in the world. Beyond the photo-op, guests are encouraged to interact with the experience through floating orbs in the “Affinity” room, cloud portraits in the “Unity” room, and a trip on the world’s largest external glass elevator, “Ascent.”

PINK PIER POP UP

The city's newest romantic pop up is now open at the Seaport. Pink Pier at Watermark brings together Instagrammable moments and panoramic views of the East River and Brooklyn Bridge. Through the end of March you'll find heated glasshouses and a floral hallway among multiple photo ops. Brunch and dinner temptations include heart-shaped macarons, chocolate fondue, cotton candy Prosecco, and "Cupid’s Quiche."

HIP HOP: CONSCIOUS, UNCONSCIOUS

Lisa Leone—Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill, East Harlem, New York City, 1993 while shooting Vocab video.

Fotografiska New York is a museum experience for the modern world. A new exhibition here looks at a New York City original creation.Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious takes in a massive outpouring of creativity, starting in the Bronx in 1973, and drawing on African, Latino, and Caribbean American contributions. Laid out by chronology and geography, focus areas include the early years, East Coast, West Coast, the South, and the newer wave of artists who have emerged since the mid-aughts. Among interwoven themes, the exhibition highlights the role of women in hip-hop, the “four elements of hip-hop” (rapping, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti), and several debated “fifth elements” including fashion and beatboxing. Ephemera complements the photography to create a vibrant portrait of a New York City-born culture that went on to sweep the world.

NYC SPRING MARKET

Every Sunday on the Upper West Side you can check out Grand Bazaar NYC, the city’s largest curated market—and most distinctive. This week you’ll also find the NYC Spring Market. Explore more than 150 vendors showing off their new spring collections. Shop both indoors and out from local dealers with rare goods including fashion and accessories, art, pottery, stationery, and home decor. Come hungry! There are great artisanal bites as well. 10am-5pm. 

CULTURAL THINGS TO DO IN NYC

Wangechi Mutu, In Two Canoe, 2022. Bronze, 180 × 68 × 72 in (457.2 × 172.7 × 182.9 cm). Courtesy the artist and Gladstone Gallery. 

Downtown shows off the city’s more cutting edge side, with a broad range of institutions. Along the Bowery you’ll encounter the only museum in the city dedicated to contemporary art, the New Museum, which was founded in 1977 to showcase the work of underrepresented artists. Currently on view is a full-building immersion in Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined, with painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, and film by the Kenyan-born American artist. 

Deeper on the Lower East Side is the Tenement Museum, a time capsule of immigrant life in the early boom years of New York City. The museum can be accessed through tours of restored apartments, reflecting a variety of eras and cultures.

In the Financial District, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum features two core exhibitions at the foundation of the former World Trade Center complex downtown. A memorial exhibition—In Memoriam—pays tribute to the 2,983 men, women and children killed on 9/11 and in the 1993 WTC bombing. On the plaza outside you’ll encounter two reflecting pools, featuring North America’s largest man-made waterfalls.

Wheel of Life; Tibet or Mongolia; 19th century; pigments on cloth; Rubin Museum of Art; gift of Shelley and Donald Rubin; C2006.66.131 (HAR 78).

Chelsea is home to the Rubin Museum of Art, dedicated to the art and culture of the Himalayas. You can get an overview of the Rubin’s collection in current exhibition Gateway to Himalayan Art, which introduces visitors to the main forms, concepts, meanings, and traditions of Himalayan art. The latest exhibit at the Rubin Museum of Art brings together the art of Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism. Get a look at visions of the afterlife through “Death Is Not the End,” which includes oil paintings, bone ornaments, prints, sculptures, and ritual objects spanning 12 centuries.

Near Grand Central stands The Morgan Library & Museum, a showcase for both its holdings of rare books and manuscripts and its exquisite Italian Renaissance-style palazzo setting. The nearby AKC Museum of the Dog holds a treasure trove of canine art and artifacts, from watercolors and prints to bronzes and ceramics. 

The Upper East Side is home to some of the most famous institutions in the world. The Frick Collection is known for its focus on European sculpture and decorative arts, as well as Old Master paintings. While its permanent location is closed for renovation,  a selection can be seen at Frick Madison, where the holdings benefit from the fresh perspective provided by a very modernist, mid-1960s temporary home.

Celebrating works of art created in Austria and Germany, the Neue Galerie focuses on important movements of the 20th century. Inside an immaculate Beaux-Arts mansion you’ll find decorative objects and famous paintings by the likes of Gustav Klimt, Paul Klee, and Egon Schiele.

Attributed to William Melville. David Sassoon, mid-nineteenth century. Oil on canvas; 41 ½ × 33 in. (105.4 × 83.8 cm). Private collection.

Also on uptown’s Museum Mile is The Jewish Museum, founded in 1904 to enhance appreciation of Jewish culture and history. On view now is The Sassoons, which follows four generations of the Jewish Sassoon family around the globe. More than 140 works collected from the early 19th century though World War II populate the exhibit, not only charting the history of the family but also the major issues of the times.

Further uptown is The Museum of the City of New York, which interprets, celebrates, and documents New York—past, present, and future. The latest show here is New York Now: Home, A Photography Triennial, with images on the concept of home representing perspectives as diverse as the city itself.

Across town on the Upper West Side is the city’s oldest museum, the New-York Historical Society. Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated), on view now, highlights the artist’s powerful silhouette-like imagery and prompts a reconsidering of American legacies.

Brooklyn has become a tourist destination to rival Manhattan, complete with its own world-class institution: the Brooklyn Museum. Fashion-inspired shows have been a hit here of late, including the current Thierry Mugler: Couturissime, which shows off the creativity, elegance, and excitement of the legendary French designer. Also on view are historic Brooklyn dwellings and art that ranges from ancient Egypt to European masterpieces.

More on NYC museums and current exhibitions can be found here.

IMMERSIVE THINGS TO DO IN NYC

ARTECHOUSE Studio.

Head to the historic boiler room of Chelsea Market to experience the immersive art space ARTECHOUSE. You’ve never seen art like this before, as room-sized digital projections merge with sound design to create a cinematic experience. On view now is MAGENTAVERSE, highlighted by a 22-minute audiovisual exploration of Viva Magenta, Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023. (Pantone selected the color for its evocations of fearlessness, exuberance, and optimism.) The experience draws inspiration from nature, NASA, and the James Webb Space Telescope’s views of outer space. Bespoke audio and projection technologies create a metaverse-like immersion—without having to strap on a headset. A new twist here is Beyond the Bar, a fresh slant on Happy Hour, taking place Monday and Tuesday evenings. In addition to all-night specials, your ticket comes with admission to the exhibition and a drink at the XR cocktail bar.

New York City is famous for its gala culture. For the first time ever, you can immerse yourself in the scene right in Times Square. The Madame Tussauds flagship holds 19 celebrity figures, including new and never-before-seen wax figures of Ariana Grande and P. Diddy, at the Glow Gala.

(If your tastes are darker, don’t miss Madame Tussauds’s Warner Bros. Icons of Horror, displaying chillingly lifelike wax figures within four fully immersive scenes. Celebrate legends, including Pennywise and Regan from The Exorcist. If you dare.)

The city’s newest destination is The Museum of Broadway . This interactive, experiential museum leads guests on a journey through a visual history of Broadway, with costumes, props, photos, and videos. The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, HAIR, and Rent are among the hundreds of highlighted productions, running from the 1700s up to today.

The inaugural Hall des Lumières exhibition, Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion, brings the Austrian symbolist painter’s works to life. The setting, a landmark former bank building downtown, adds to the experience with its soaring Beaux-Arts architecture. A new limited-time show joins the offerings on April 6th. Destination Cosmos: The Immersive Space Experience will take you on a voyage across the universe, starting at Cape Canaveral and passing over Martian canyons alongside rovers, diving into the heart of Jupiter, gliding across the rings of Saturn, and exploring beyond the frontiers of our solar system to experience the immensity of our universe. A curated soundtrack complements stunning images from NASA.

The Museum of Illusions will leave you in awe as you explore realms of eye-fooling tricks and Instagram-worthy installations. Kids and adults alike find wonder aplenty as they test their abilities to conquer illusions. You (or your prankster friend) can become a head on a platter, plus there’s an Anti-Gravity Room, an Infinity Room (a hall of mirrors for the 21st century), and a room where you’ll walk on walls. Open daily in Chelsea—until midnight Fridays through Sundays!

Immerse yourself in one of the greatest stories of the 20th century just a few blocks from the Titanic's intended destination at Pier 59 in Chelsea. Titanic. The Exhibition brings visitors back to 1912 through the stories of passengers, illuminated by photographs, letters, and keepsakes. You'll also get to walk through a recreation of the ship's interior, from a humble third-class cabin to a first-class suite.

If you’ve ever wanted a tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, you’ll get a taste at Candytopia (without the imminent peril). Dive into a ball pit of marshmallows, view portraits made of candy, and take killer pics with candy-inspired scenes.

For an adventure with shades themselves, the SoHo art space Color Factory delivers a colorful interactive adventure. A sweet Manhattan stop is The Museum of Ice Cream. Check out the three-story slide that ends in a pool of sprinkles and walk through a hall of ice cream scoops. There’s branded ice cream to taste and MOIC merch to take to the folks back home.

EVEN MORE THINGS TO DO IN NYC

After a long Covid pause, the crown of Lady Liberty is once again open to visitors. This icon requires a 162-step climb (there is no elevator) but will reward you with an entirely unique perspective on the city. Along a double-helix spiral staircase you'll see the intricate structure that keeps the statue standing, capped by 25 windows overlooking New York Harbor.

THE TIN BUILDING

Downtown along the East River, two centuries of New York City come together at The Seaport. This district blends quaint cobblestone streets with contemporary shopping and dining. There are also incredible perspectives on the Brooklyn Bridge and the water. The South Street Seaport Museum is also here, telling the story of “Where New York Begins” through art, artifacts, and a fleet of historic vessels. Don’t miss the area’s latest addition, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has filled a historic two-story space with retail, restaurants, and  an impeccably stocked central market with locally sourced seafood, meats, cheeses, seasonal produce, chef-grade pantry staples, and rare ingredients. 

A EUROPEAN POP UP

Every Wednesday in March you scan sample the best of coastal Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Candlelit Georgia O’Keeffe-inspired space Bar Calico will be joining forces for the Bar Calico x Luisa Wine Bar Pop-Up.

Begin with a quick video to brief you on your mission and cover some basic guidelines, and then after that it’s up to you (a Game Guide is available at all times throughout the adventure).

THE CLIMATE MUSEUM

The Climate Museum’s mission is to inspire action on the climate crisis with programming across the arts and sciences. The focus of a free pop up in SoHo is a major new work, Someday, all this by draughtsman and sculptor David Opdyke. The exhibition is paired with a climate action incubator, where visitors can engage with the artwork. The ultimate goal is to deepen understanding, build connections, and advance just solutions.

THINGS TO DO IN NYC: LIVE PERFORMANCES

LIVE BEATS & MORE DOWNTOWN

Downtown has one destination for eclectic, compelling music. The programming at the East Village’s Drom runs from jazz, rock, electronic, soul, and funk to international music.

Drom is also your local choice for comedy and pole dancing. Schtick A Pole In It has for the past 9 years been NYC's best (and only) comedy and pole dancing show. Comics tell jokes and pole dancers pole dance. Laugh lines alternate with death-defying tricks. If you don't see shows like this, why are you even paying NYC rents? The show has just expanded to four dates a month as part of an open-ended run. Tickets and more information are here.

LIVE JAZZ

7:30pm City Vineyard
https://citywinery.com/cityvineyard/Online/article/CVNYC-Music-of-Supremes-3-23-23-730pm     

For a singer with such powerful pipes, it’s something of a shock to hear vocalist Emilie Surtees describe herself as primarily “a listener.” Then again, maybe it’s her extraordinary capacity to listen that gives her tribute to both ’60s girl group The Supremes and the beloved musical Dreamgirls its almost surreal accuracy. Surtees not only replicates hit songs, power note for power note, but communicates the soul of each singer who originally recorded them — something that requires not only incredible vocals but also a profound appreciation of music.

Bob Schneider (solo) with special guest Tom Freund | 3.23 ($25 - $40)
8pm in Main Venue
https://citywinery.com/newyork/Online/article/NYC-Bob-Schneider-3-23-23-8pm

A troubadour, a singer/songwriter, a folky, and a storyteller -- all are fair labels for this artist, but they do not quite suffice. However, the tattoo of Woody Guthrie worn proudly on his arm is a good starting place from which to grasp Ellis Paul, for it is from the Woody Guthrie tradition that he hails, and Maine as well.

J. Ivy with special guest Tarrey Torae | 3.24 ($30 - $45)
8pm in Main Venue

It’s a confident, assured statement of a group finding its place in the world amid uncertain and troubled times.

Their NoHo location celebrates whiskey past and present along with the culture of Prohibition-era New York. Every Saturday top local musicians perform in the Art Deco cocktail lounge. There are two shows, starting at 7pm and 9pm. Light bites, cocktails, wine, and beer are all available. If you opt for a meal at the distillery's New American restaurant The Grid you can get a 20% discount as well.
