The New Museum’s fall lineup includes creepy cartoons, 400 years of Bowery lore and a talking elevator is one of our hand-picked Events finds for New York. There’s plenty happening beyond the galleries, from skyline drawing sessions to a variety show inspired by the street’s weirdest history.
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.
