The Museum of Modern Art
During our wedding weekend, check out: - Matisse's "The Red Studio," the first reunion of this epic installation of paintings and sculptures since they were together in Matisse’s studio in 1911. - A multi-channel sound and video installation by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme - the Collection galleries (always a treat) - "Our Selves: Photographs by Women Artists," an exhibit that "reframes restrictive notions of womanhood, exploring the connections between photography, feminism, civil rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and queer liberation."
Lighthouse
Effectively our favorite restaurant in the world. Make sure you get the labne with homemade sourdough bread, the burrata, and the pa pie at the very least!
One World Observatory
This is the tallest point in NYC!
Terre
This is another favorite restaurant with homemade pasta, Umbrian Italian treats galore, and incredible natural wines -- even if your palate isn't as funky as Ben's, you'll find something incredible there. Tell Daniele we sent you!
MoMA PS1
If you feel like wandering, don't miss the exhibit of Deana Lawson's photographs at MoMA PS1. It will include her work stretching back to 2004, and is her first solo museum exhibition. Lawson engages the family album, studio portraiture, staged tableaux, documentary pictures, and appropriated images "to build extended families of strangers in living rooms, kitchens, and backyards from Brooklyn to New Orleans, Haiti to Ethiopia, and Brazil to the Democratic Republic of Congo."
Queens Museum
If you feel like wandering even FURTHER, check out Lynn's job!! On a sunny Saturday or Sunday, the park is filled with opportunities for people-watching and strolls. The Museum itself holds "The Panorama of the City of New York," a gem of NYC that everyone should see at least once.
Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 Liberty Lawn
A lovely waterfront grassy patch with views of Manhattan, and lots of delicious eats in Brooklyn Heights. If you make it over there, stop by Caputo's (the best Black-and-White cookie in NYC) and check out the elevated Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
