Koch Theater 20 Lincoln Plaza, Columbus Ave. @ W. 63rd St. @nycballet 8:00 pm New York City Ballet performance of “Dances at a Gathering: by Jerome Robbins and West Side Story Suite” Lincoln Center - David H. Koch Theater 20 Lincoln Plaza, Columbus Ave. @ W. 63rd St. @nycballet New York City Ballet is one of the foremost dance companies in the world, with a roster of spectacular dancers and an unparalleled repertory. The Compa- ny was founded in 1948 by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, and it quickly became world-re- nowned for its athletic and contemporary style. Jerome Robbins joined NYCB the following year and, with Balanchine, helped to build the astounding repertory and firmly establish the Company in New York. Following Balanchine’s death, in 1983, Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins were named Co-Ballet Masters in Chief, and since 1990 Mr. Martins has assumed sole responsibility for the Company’s artistic direction. Like Balanchine, Mr. Martins believes that choreographic exploration is what sustains the Company and the art form itself, and NYCB continues to present new work as an ongoing part of its performance seasons. Widely acknowledged for its enduring contri- butions to dance, NYCB is committed to promoting creative excellence and nurturing a new generation of dancers and choreographers.

This retrospective features more than 130 objects dating from the artist’s student days, his early years in New York as a com- mercial artist and self-publisher, and the decades of innovation spanning the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s that solidified Warhol’s standing in the history of modern art. Items on display include the only surviving book project from the 1940s; drawings, screen prints, photographs, self-published books, children’s books, photography books, text-based books, unique books, archival material; and his much-sought-after dust jacket designs. @themorganlibrary The Jewish Museum 1109 Fifth Avenue @ 92nd Street - www.thejewishmuseum.org Isaac Mizrahi: An Unruly History is the first museum exhibition to focus on the influential American fashion designer, artist, and entrepreneur.

While best known for his clothing designs, Mizrahi’s creativity has expanded over a nearly three decade career to embrace acting, directing, set and costume design, writing, and cabaret performance. Spanning his first collection in 1988 to the present day, An Unruly History weaves together the many threads of his prolific career, juxtaposing work in fashion, film, television, and the performing arts. @thejewishmuseum Option C - Retail Shopping On Your Own WithIt Women’s Leadership Development Network www.withit.org 2016 New York Design Tour 3 PM MEET UNION SQUARE Meet group at East 14th Street and Park Ave South/Broadway corner of the Park.

Locat- ed in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brook- lyn, this turn-of-the-century industrial cooperage has been converted into a destination hotel. The architect surgically altered the original structure, peeling back layers to reveal its history and expose the industrial loft character throughout the hotel spaces. The original solid wooden beams, col- umns, and wood ceilings have been exposed, and a rusty old conveyor track left in place as art in situ. These historic elements stand juxtaposed with new interventions, such as radiant-heated concrete floors and a factory-sash window wall facing Manhattan views, to further enhance the industrial aesthetic while maintaining a sleek, minimal effect. An addition atop the original building, a three-story glass “Tetris block” with wrap-around views, is abstract and airy in counterpoint to the mass and solidity of the older brick base. The 72-key hotel contains a 60-seat restaurant, a 3,000 square foot event space with outdoor garden, a rooftop bar and terrace, a 40-seat screening room, and a brick-arched private banquet room.

  • Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar - the New York Times
    1/20/2019 Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar - The New York Times Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar By Robert Simonson May 15, 2017 The Campbell Apartment, a soaring, old-fashioned cocktail bar tucked away in an ornate corner of Grand Central Terminal, closed in July to the dismay of many commuters. It will reopen to the public on Wednesday — in triplicate. The main room — once the lordly private office of the railroad executive and millionaire John Williams Campbell, complete with Florentine décor, a coffered ceiling and a fireplace — will be reborn simply as the Campbell Bar. A second, smaller bar area just outside the entrance, bookended by two palm trees, will be called the Campbell Palm Court. And a former taxi stand just outside will be fitted with a third bar, the Campbell Terrace. Announcing the presence of all three, collectively titled the Campbell, will be a large awning on Vanderbilt Avenue. The bar’s days as a hard-to-find, slightly mysterious hideaway appear to be over. “We want people to know about it,” said Scott Gerber, the chief executive of Gerber Group, which runs several bars and restaurants in New York City. “We don’t want it to be that secret place. We want it to be more inclusive. There are so many people who commute through here every day who didn’t know about it.” Gerber Group won the lease last year after a legal battle in which Mark Grossich, who had restored the space and ran the bar for 17 years, sued the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the terminal.
