At the International Center of Photography's new museum on the Bowery, where the first show is about privacy and public visibility, the curators really packed in the art. Plus: There's an outpost of Maman. / 1 comment
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.
Like porch swings and celebrity nudes, pedestrian bridges are irresistible—especially ones that have been off limits for 40 years. / 4 comments

I didn't think it'd be dangerous, exactly, but I didn't think it'd be gorgeous. Small wonder the area—which is huge, by the way—is being gentrified so quickly. / 2 comments
Thanks, Mr. Komanoff. You're right, onwards! I did indeed enjoy MG's column, and thanks for sharing for all here. — malcolm / Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca

Mamdani didn’t put the homeless and fake bag illegals on the streets of Tribeca, but he might perpetuate their presence,... — R. / Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca
Not surprised to see anyone opposed to Momdani called out as a "racist" by elite Tribecans with luxury beliefs. — lowrider / Mamdani wins mayoral race; Cuomo takes Tribeca
