Deets: Union Square Partnership (USP), in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program (NYC DOT Art), unveiled Union Square’s latest public art, Love Continuum. An interactive sculpture by multimedia artist Yoni Alter in association with Artmax/Andrew Logan Projects, Love Continuum captures the spirit of humanity’s most universal emotion and invites visitors to explore different perspectives of the word “love.” The whimsical sculpture arrives in Union Square on Feb. 20, 2025 and will be viewable at University Place Plaza between 13th and 14th Streets through August 2025.

Alter is known for his colorful, out-of-the-box ideas that add a sense of joy and play with scale. Guided by experimentation and semiotics, Alter passionately seeks new ways of creating visual representations, working across sculpture, painting, print, and digital media. The installation is produced by Artmax/Andrew Logan Projects, a Brooklyn-based gallery owner and industry expert in fine art and architectural installation. Together with Artmax/Andrew Logan Projects, Alter brings his artistic vision to Union Square, in the heart of New York City.

Love Continuum stretches nearly 25 feet long and features a dynamic, bold design that beckons viewers of all ages to engage with the sculpture and discover its hidden message. Only from a distinct vantage point does Love Continuum’s bright color and abstract squiggly line reveal the word “love,” symbolizing how love can take on many shapes and forms depending on how one looks at it. And the physical sculpture isn’t the only presence that Love Continuum will have in the neighborhood. Community partners are teaming up with Alter to enliven the art throughout Union Square–thematic, limited-edition cookies adorned with the sculpture’s design, will be available at Newsbar beginning on February 24; disposable cups featuring Love Continuum will also be available at the cafe as of early March. Starting March 15, with support from Gordon Property Group, Alter will showcase an alternative version of Love Continuum in the storefront window at 860 Broadway. This location, once home to Andy Warhol’s Factory in the 1970s, holds special significance for Alter, as Warhol is one of his favorite artists.

Deets: The United Palace is celebrating Hamilton’s 10th anniversary with free screenings of cast-led films, followed by exclusive talks with Lin-Manuel Miranda and members of the Original Broadway Cast.

History
The ornate United Palace opened in 1930 as the Loew’s 175th Street Theatre, a deluxe movie theatre and vaudeville house, the last of the five Wonder Theatres in New York City and New Jersey. Its first act as a movie theatre ended in April 1969 with a screening of “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

With a groundswell of community support and our good friend, patron, and neighbor Lin-Manuel Miranda, movies returned to the United Palace in 2013. Since then we have screened over 100 feature films, from world premieres (“In the Heights” and “Halftime” as part of the Tribeca Festival) to all-time classics (“It’s A Wonderful Life”), to community favorites (the documentary “Mad Hot Ballroom” about local school children winning a citywide dance contest).

We honor the theatre’s original use as a vaudeville house and movie palace by curating screenings of classic movies with live entertainment thematically linked to the film, such as mini concerts, dance performances, fashion shows, or speakers. UPCA partners with Lin-Manuel and his family for many of these screenings, inviting special guests such as Rita Moreno (“West Side Story”), Steven Spielberg (“Raiders of the Lost Ark”), Spike Lee (“Do the Right Thing”), and Hugh Jackman (“The Greatest Showman”).

Our goal is to have the cinematic experience come alive for audiences too used to watching movies on their phones or TVs.

One of our highest compliments came from Robert DeNiro who, speaking before a 50th anniversary screening of “The Godfather,” described watching a movie at the United Palace as: “The moviegoing experience doesn’t get any better.”

Deets: For the 2025 Roof Garden Commission, Jennie C. Jones (born 1968, Cincinnati, Ohio) will produce Ensemble. Only her second outdoor sculptural installation, the project will explore the sonic potential of stringed instruments as well as their formal possibilities. In the artist's unique response to modernism, these acoustic sculptures propose the line of the string as a proxy for art history, unbroken and continuous.

In her paintings, sculptures, works on paper, installations, and audio compositions, Jones uses sound to respond to the legacy of minimalism and to modernism itself. Drawing on her immersion in Black improvisation and avant-garde music, she deploys sound and listening as important conceptual elements of her practice, from the acoustic fiberglass panels she affixes to canvas, which absorb sound and affect the acoustic properties of the environment, to the lines and bars she creates through her compositions that refer to elements of musical notation. Her work across media offers new possibilities for minimalist abstraction, challenging how—and by whom—it is produced.

Two years ago, New York lost a piece of its food culture when the iconic $1 slice cheese pizza went away.

But now, a single dollar can offer a whole lot of satisfaction. 

On April 22, Seamless, NYC's homegrown delivery service, brought the $1 cheese slice back to the city! 

From now through May 20, the $1 cheese slice makes its celebrated return home to NYC at more than 40 participating pizzerias across all five boroughs.

“Foot Fountain (pink) is an overindulgent creature from my drawings. It first appeared as a small sculpture while I was doing some craft work with my daughter during the pandemic. The original version was conceived for the Tinguely Museum in Basel and designed as an irrigation fountain to water a flower garden in its radiant ‘footprint’—nurturing and connecting with the land it touches. Here on the High Line, instead of nurturing the well-tended gardens, I thought it should nurture and cool passersby on hot days, and share some of its overenthusiastic spirit.” - Mika Rottenberg

Following the success of the Los Angeles debut, the NYC iteration deepens Vides’ exploration of car culture, craftsmanship, and consumer aspiration, all rendered in his signature black-and-white sketch style.

Deets: The pop-up that had lines down the block (battling that even of the cronut craze) is making its highly anticipated spring return. Eleven Madison Park’s Bake it Nice is back, and if last season’s turnout was any indication, it’s about to take over New York’s food scene once again.

On April 19th, May 10th, and June 14th, pastry fanatics will line up for Madison Squares — the flakey, plant-based, cult pastries crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Laura Cronin, who’s redefining vegan baking. Each pop-up brings rotating seasonal flavors!

These croissant-inspired squares are more than just viral fodder — they offer Michelin-starred creativity at bakery counter prices, letting New Yorkers taste the elevated techniques of Eleven Madison Park in a totally approachable (and portable) format. It’s part of why Bake it Nice has become a true downtown obsession.

And it’s not just first-timers flocking in: locals return week after week, eager to see what new, never-before-seen flavor Laura has dreamed up next. Each drop delivers a wildly inventive, seasonal twist that keeps even the most seasoned foodies guessing — and coming back.

The pop-up also features refreshing Agua Fresca by Beverage Director Sebastian Tollius, coffee to go, and select Eleven Madison Home goods for anyone looking to take the experience home.

About Bake it Nice
Bake it Nice debuted in 2023, offering fans of Eleven Madison Park the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant's exceptional pastries outside of its tasting menu. Led by Laura Cronin, this pop-up series has become a cult favorite, known for its innovative plant-based pastries that combine traditional techniques with modern flavors.

About Laura Cronin
Laura Cronin’s journey into the world of pastry began in her hometown of Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where she developed a love for baking at a young age. After honing her skills at Johnson & Wales University and the San Francisco Baking Institute, she furthered her education at Paris's prestigious Ecole Gregoire-Ferrandi. Her illustrious career has taken her from San Francisco to New York City, where she now serves as Executive Pastry Chef at Eleven Madison Park. Laura has been recognized as a Rising Star Chef by the San Francisco Chronicle and was named to Zagat’s 30 under 30 list.

Deets: The stunning urban sunset phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge returns soon, with peak viewing opportunities on May 28 and 29. During these evenings, the setting sun will align perfectly with Manhattan’s street grid, casting a golden glow between the skyscrapers.

This dramatic sight happens again on July 12, but similar, though slightly off-center, effects can be seen on nearby dates as the sun continues to set further north. The term "Manhattanhenge" refers to this alignment - when sunlight streams directly down the city’s crosstown streets, creating breathtaking views framed by the city’s high-rises.

If you're planning to go, aim to be in position by 7:30PM, as the spectacle peaks around 8:15PM on both days.
