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.

Two Brand New NYC Public Art Projects – Perfect For The Fall!
Two new public art installations make Manhattan the perfect destination to walk in the park and breathe in both the fall fresh air and amazing art. Three huge sculptures by Tony Cragg have taken up residence in Madison Square Park through February; and the addictive, high-def Solar Reserve by John Gerrard, plopped down front and center on the Lincoln Center's main plaza.

Plan The Perfect Fall Family Day Trip or Romantic Weekend Getaway
Some New Yorkers might tell you that the best place on the planet to be during the fall season is right here in New York City! The temperatures are pleasant, everyone looks fantastic, the culture calendar is packed full, the energy is everywhere, crackling and alive. But, that said, it's still nice to embark upon an out-of-town adventure every now and then, someplace not too far-but "away" enough to give you break, help you recharge for the next round of everything. Here, then, are a half dozen suggestions passed along from friends and colleagues, of great fall getaways for families and couples.
Say Hello to High Line at the Rail Yards, the Park’s Third and Final Phase
NYC's High Line, the beloved park unveils its third and final phase - High Line at the Rail Yards opened on Sept. 21, with lush plantings, picnic tables, a seesaw for children and a wild, untouched section as you head west.

Making The Most of Manhattan’s Mid-Sized Museums
As NYC patiently waits for cultural heavyweights to launch their blockbuster fall exhibitions--Matisse at MoMA; Cubism at the Met--there are plenty of gallery openings and smaller, more specialized museums putting on interesting shows to keep us culturally active. We recently checked out a pair of fun shows at two of Manhattan's mid-sized museums, the MAD Biennial in Columbus Circle, and Nam June Paik at the Asia Society on the Upper East Side. Fun, colorful, bright - and kid friendly! Find out more.

What’s Hot at Chelsea’s first Fall Art Thursday Night Gallery Hop
Chelsea's art gallery district exploded back to life last Thursday evening with the opening of dozens of new exhibitions. The Thursday night 'Gallery Hops' have turned neighborhood-wide parties are always fun, with first-rate people-watching and lots of free drinks! If you've never been to one of these Thursday nights in Chelsea, you should go at least once, as a kind of a rite of passage.

A Complete Guide to NYC Fall Film Festivals
I go out to the movies at least twice a week (which is why I'm such a fan of MoviePass), and my year-end Top 10 list usually includes a mixture of Hollywood blockbusters, off-beat indie flicks, documentaries, and foreign films. So when Film Festival season rolls around each year–which is basically all of fall–I always promise […]
