There's never been a better time to visit the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, thanks to an exhibit of works by Tom Sachs that relate to those of Isamu Noguchi and Japanese culture in general. Then stroll over to the Socrates Sculpture Park.
The museum exists solely to show the art owned by Emily Fisher Landau, who collected works from 1960 on. There's never anyone there, so you get three floors of contemporary art to yourself.

What makes it more than a big, funky shed full of great art are the terraces, catwalks, promontories, and exterior staircases. Let's explore.... / 4 comments
Doing minimal research had worked out so well for our Greenpoint walkabout that Andrea and I figured we'd be OK in Bushwick—and we were wrong. But hey, pizza. / 8 comments
The revitalization of the Rockaways has received a lot of press, but the off-season isn't exactly a beachy, funky, artsy paradise. Then again, when the ferry is only $7 round trip, who cares? / 5 comments
