Trompe L'Oeil Triumphant
Early works by Stephen Posen (b. 1939)—New York-based artist and, incidentally, father of fashion designer Zac Posen—are on display in “Threads: Paintings From the 1960s and ’70s,” an ambitious two-part exhibition at Vito Schnabel Projects (thru June 23, this page) and its sister gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland (July 28–Sept. 2). “Untitled” (detail, left), a large-scale, photorealist painting of cloth-covered boxes from 1970, has never been publicly shown in New York until now.
Woolworth Building
Designed by architect Cass Gilbert be tween 1920 and 1912 as retail tycoon Frank W. Woolworth’s NYC headquarters, the Woolworth Building was once the tallest building in the world. Today, tours of the magnificent vintage lobby are available. You can choose from three tours: The basic (30 minutes, $20), the standard (60 minutes, $30) or the deluxe tour (90 minutes, $45). The standard and deluxe tours include the lower level. 233 Broadway, btw P ark Pl. & Barclay St., 203.966.9663.

Dining & Imbibing With A View
In broad daylight on a side street or by the light of the silvery moon on a rooftop, dining and drinking alfresco in NYC is an experience not to be missed. ere’s something about summer that brings out the creativity in local chefs and mixologists and drives them to excellence. And consider this: With the skyline spread out before you or even just an intimate piece of it, there’s no denying where you are. So, make the most of the weather, the cuisine and the locale.

Island Hopping
As the song says, Manhattan is an “isle of joy.” But it’s not alone. New York City is an archipelago. The Big Apple’s five boroughs contain more than their fair share of land masses—as many as 40—surrounded by water. Some are small, others are substantial. Here’s a concise tour of the most accessible. Our advice? Be adventurous and visit them all.
And The Winner Is …
I have no crystal ball when it comes to the Tony Awards. Who will take home the shiny prize on June 9, when the awards are handed out at Radio City Music Hall, is anybody’s guess, mine included. But I can tell you what I enjoyed during the 2018–2019 Broadway season: the plays, the musicals, the performances that moved me and are worthy of your attention.
