Arts & Culture
First of all - I co-founded the place! Second, it is world class and renowned experimental performance. The catch is that because every show is a NY premiere and most are created with our commissioning support along with a residency - the schedule fluctuates and I cannot always tell you about the show. See something never seen before.

This is much more than a museum and one of my favorite centers dedicated to the creation and presentation of contemporary art. Like The Chocolate Factory, they commission new works (mostly sculpture). They believe in and support the artists creating new work.

I speak about PS1 as the place that Museum of Modern Art really takes risks in a gorgeous reclaimed schoolhouse.
And, do not forget to visit M.Wells Dinette when you are there.

150 shows a month! A comedian's comedy club. Beginners and the famous are here trying material. Be prepared to watch those trying their craft or to be there when a name you know stops by to try out new material. And, there are 8-10 pinball machines... great drinks & food. The chili and the chicken soup are family recipes. Boozy brunch.

Great ferry service to Manhattan and/or parts of Brooklyn. It's a nice way to see the City from the East River and get to where you are going.

Amazing food and wines! The term 'farm-to-table' is over-used but is accurate for LIC Market. They open early (10am), close late and everything is delicious! They have a great happy hour and all of the wines are natural wines.
