Deets: See stunning jewelry pieces that trace the history of hip-hop from the 1980s to today.

Ice Cold: An Exhibition of Hip-Hop Jewelry celebrates hip-hop's cultural influence through stunning jewelry worn by some of its iconic stars.

Highlights include Slick Rick’s gem-encrusted crown, the Notorious B.I.G.’s legendary gold ‘Jesus piece,’ the diamond-studded Roc-A-Fella medallion for the record label co-founded by Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj’s sparkling ‘Barbie’ pendant, and pieces from Erykah Badu, A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, FERG, and Tyler, the Creator, among others.

Building on New York City’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop as a global phenomenon, Ice Cold will highlight the evolution of jewelry in hip-hop over the past five decades, starting with oversized gold chains embraced by rap’s pioneers in the 1980s and moving through the 1990s, when emcees turned business moguls sported record label pendants sparkling with diamonds and platinum. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: The exhibition will be on view in the Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery, within the Museum’s new Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals (First Floor), and is included with all admission.

Deets: The world’s most famous ice-skating rink is returning to Rockefeller Center for its 88th season this fall. Those planning ahead for the holiday season are able to purchase tickets for The Rink now.

Originally designed as a temporary attraction to draw visitors to Rockefeller Center’s outdoor plaza in 1936, The Rink became a permanent fixture in 1939. Since then, it has evolved into one of the city’s most legendary landmarks and most-visited sites, hosting more than a quarter of a million skaters annually.

Holiday Specials

The holiday season is a magical time at Rockefeller Center and beginning in September holiday ticket packages will be available for purchase, in addition to ice skating packages. Holiday ticket options will include: 

  • Professional photos taken in front of the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree;

  • Reservations for Rock Center’s cozy Après Skate holiday chalets featuring food, beverage and an unparalleled front row view of The Rink at Rockefeller Center and the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree;

  • A meeting and professional photos with Santa Claus, where little ones can meet the man himself while at the most famous Christmas destination in the world (aside from the North Pole, of course!);

  • And the VIP Rock Pass: Holiday Edition with a guided tour of campus, express access to Top of the Rock and The Beam, professional family photos with the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and exclusive access to a secret rooftop garden hidden above Rockefeller Center.

Through September, visitors will still be able to enjoy warm weather at the Summer Rink, offering New Yorkers and visitors outdoor dining with Jupiter and Naro.

This fall, ice skaters will enter a campus that Rockefeller Center owner and operator Tishman Speyer has entirely revitalized over the past five years. A new generation of renowned restaurants including Jupiter, Naro, and Le Rock; New York small businesses and artisanal shopping destinations like Catbird, McNally Jackson, and Kule; redesigned office lobbies and public spaces, and the city’s leading public art program have made Rockefeller Center the city’s most dynamic destination to explore, work, shop, dine, and play.

The crowning jewel of Rockefeller Center’s revitalization, The Skylift, will open at the Top of the Rock Observation Deck this fall. The new Skylift experience will elevate visitors nearly 900 feet in the air and rotate slowly for spectacular, entirely unobstructed, 360-degree views of the New York City skyline that can’t be found anywhere else. It follows The Beam, an interactive photo experience on the 69th Floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza that recreates the famous 1932 photograph “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.” The iconic Rockefeller Christmas Tree will return this holiday season through January 2025.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets to The Rink at Rockefeller Center start at $21 per person, with discount pricing available for groups of 10 or more, not including skate rentals. Season passes and private events are also available. For more information visit here.

Additionally, available exclusively at the Starbucks Reserve Winter Wonderland is the new Empire State Cocoa Cocktail. Expertly crafted by Starbucks mixologists, this refined take on the holiday favorite features dark chocolate and steamed milk infused with Hennessy VS Cognac, topped with whipped cream, and served with a side of Royal Combier liqueur and dark chocolate bites.

Deets: Average Socialite is a proud advanced screening partner of “September 5”.

"September 5" unveils the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today. Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows an American Sports broadcasting team that quickly adapted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage. Through this lens, "September 5" provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time.

At the heart of the story is Geoff (John Magaro), a young and ambitious producer striving to prove himself to his boss, the legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Together with German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), Geoff unexpectedly takes the helm of the live coverage. As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumors spread, with the hostages' lives hanging in the balance, Geoff grapples with tough decisions while confronting his own moral compass.
