About this pick

This vibrant Milan Design Week installation just landed in NYC is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. Yinka Ilori's colorful "Chasing the Sun" transforms The Standard East Village through August 9.

Why New York? New York is the ultimate dense, 24-hour city — five boroughs of iconic skyline, world culture and neighborhood-deep diversity. The city is known for the skyline and Times Square, Broadway, museums and global food.

Good to know: Spring and autumn are ideal; December dazzles for holidays; summer is hot and humid. The 24-hour subway is the fastest way around; Manhattan and much of Brooklyn are very walkable.
