Decide on a few must-see attractions, and then let the city take you on its own ride. Inevitably, as you make your way around the city, you’ll be blown off course by unplanned diversions that are just as much fun as what you meant to see. After all, the true New York is in the details. As you dash from sight to sight, take time to admire a lovely cornice on a prewar building, linger over a cup of coffee at a sidewalk cafe, or just idle away a few minutes on a bench watching New Yorkers parade through their daily lives. 1 The Top Attractions American Museum of Natural History This is one of the hottest museum tickets in town, thanks to the $210 million Rose Center for Earth and Space , whose four-story-tall plane- tarium sphere hosts the excellent Harrison Ford–narrated Space Show, “Are We Alone?,” the most technologically advanced sky show on the planet. Prepare to be blown away. The show is short— less than a half-hour from start to finish—but phenomenal. Buy your tickets in advance for the Space Show in order to guarantee admission (they’re available online); you can also buy tickets in advance for a specific IMAX film or special exhibition, such as the Butterfly Conservatory, which I recommend. Otherwise, you might miss out. Start your tour of the museum at the Rose Center with the Space Show. Afterwards, follow the wondrous interactive Cosmic Pathway, which spirals around the sphere and down to the main level, chron- icling 13COPYRIGHTED billion years of cosmic evolution. Other MATERIAL must-sees include the Big Bang Theater, which re-creates the theoretical birth of the 1 universe; the main Hall of the Universe, with its very own 15 ⁄2-ton meteorite; and the terrific Hall of Planet Earth, which focuses on the geologic processes of our home planet (great volcano display!). All in all, you’ll need a minimum of 2 hours to fully explore the Rose Center. Tip: Friday night is a great time to plan your visit, as 08_571494 ch05.qxd 10/12/04 6:15 PM Page 119 THE TOP ATTRACTIONS 119 the center isn’t overcrowded, live jazz and food fill the Hall of the Universe, and, bathed in blue light, the sphere looks magical. The rest of the 4-square-block museum is nothing to sneeze at, either. If you only see one exhibit, see the dinosaurs , which take up the entire fourth floor; or take a highlights tour, offered daily every hour at 15 minutes after the hour from 10:15am to 3:15pm. The museum excels at special exhibitions, so check to see what will be on while you’re in town in case any advance planning is required. After a renovation, the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites opened in late 2003, transformed into a hands-on exhibit. The magical But- terfly Conservatory , a walk-in enclosure housing nearly 500 free-flying tropical butterflies, has developed into a can’t-miss fixture from October through May; check to see if it’s in the house while you’re in town.

Sug- gested admission $12 adults, $9 seniors and students, $7 children 2–12; Space Show and museum admission $19 adults, $14 seniors and students, $12 children under 12. Additional charges for IMAX movies and some special exhibitions. Daily 10am–5:45pm; Rose Center open Fri to 8:45pm. Subway: B, C to 81st St.; 1, 9 to 79th St. Brooklyn Bridge Moments Its Gothic-inspired stone pylons and intricate steel-cable webs have moved poets like Walt Whitman and Hart Crane to sing the praises of this great span, the first to cross the East River and connect Manhattan to Brooklyn. Begun in 1867 and ultimately completed in 1883, the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge is now the city’s best-known symbol of the age of growth that seized the city during the late 19th century. Walk across the bridge and imagine the awe that New Yorkers of that age felt at seeing two boroughs joined by this monumental span. It’s still astounding; walking the Brooklyn Bridge is one of my all-time favorite New York activities, although there’s no doubt that the Lower Manhattan views from the bridge now have a painful resonance as well as a joy- ous spirit. There’s a sidewalk entrance on Park Row, just across from City Hall Park (take the 4, 5, or 6 train to Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall). But why do this walk away from Manhattan, toward the far less impressive Brooklyn skyline? Instead, for Manhattan skyline views, take an A or C train to High Street, one stop into Brooklyn. Come above ground, then walk through the little park to Cadman Plaza East and head downslope (left) to the stairwell that will take you up to the footpath. It’s a 20- to 40-minute stroll over the bridge to 08_571494 ch05.qxd 10/12/04 6:15 PM Page 120 Downtown Attractions UUnionnion . WW.. 115th5th SSt.t.

  • Central Park Spring Guide
    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

While at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), I have had the fortunate experience of learning from and working with several remarkable individuals. First and foremost, my advisor Bruce Robertson has been a model for successfully pursuing both academic and curatorial endeavors, and his encyclopedic knowledge has always steered me in the right direction.
