Deets: For the first time in history, the Anne Frank House will present a pioneering experience outside of Amsterdam to immerse visitors in a full-scale recreation of the Annex, where Anne Frank, her parents and sister, and four other Jewish inhabitants spent two years hiding to evade Nazi capture.

Anne Frank The Exhibition gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn about Anne Frank, not as a victim but through the multifaceted lens of her life—as a girl, a writer, and a symbol of resilience and strength. More than 100 original collection items from the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, including several never-before-exhibited artifacts, help to convey the context that shaped Anne’s life, death and posthumous fame. Her diary is one of the most translated books in the world.

The new exhibit will be mounted at the Center for Jewish History at 15 West 16h Street by Fifth Avenue in Union Square. The production will run from January 27, 2025—International Holocaust Remembrance Day—through April 30, 2025.

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 one week only, CHAUHAUS is partnering with the iconic, maximalist universe of SUSHIDELIC to create a uniquely New York, Japanese-inspired Pop-Up Café.

The Café imagines what DELICATS and KAWAII MONSTERS eat to start their day. If you are what you eat—these colorful characters must be eating the rainbow!

Menu items include Japanese convenience store staples like shokupon filled with whipped cream and fruit or egg salad sandos. There are creative takes on classic toasts like a deconstructed mushroom mapo tofu, yuzu-avocado-lox toast, and a signature curry crab cake benedict. Throughout the week, the café will feature special guests, artistic interventions and surprise hosts including DankDelish, Cyd, and Chef Tova Sterling to join in on the deliciousness. On Thursday, don’t miss the Food x Art x Tech Meetup event hosted by NYU ITP staff and students!

The pop-up builds on the creative momentum of recent collaborations between arts nonprofit TEN TEN NYC and Japan’s 6%DokiDoki, including Kawaii Holiday Market at Ideal Glass Studios and sold-out NYE Kawaii Countdown at SUSHIDELIC. As Professor Strawberry puts it, “Within the food we eat is a story–our story, the story of our ancestors, and the story of the universe.” Professor Strawberry reminds us that every bite tells a tale. Come to SUSHIDELIC to learn, be heard, and chow down.

This limited engagement runs daily from Tuesday, April 15 through Sunday, April 20, 10AM-3PM, at SUSHIDELIC (177 Lafayette St, SoHo).

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.

Hint for the Average Socialite: The Cantor Rooftop Garden at The MET reopens on Tuesday, April 15. The bar reopens Saturday, April 19. Open Sunday-Tuesday from 11AM-4:15PM and Friday and Saturday from 11AM-8:15PM.

April 19 / May 10 / June 14 @ 11AM

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.

The Costume Institute Benefit (also known as The Met Gala®) / May 5
Met Gala Exhibition Dates: / May 10 – October 26, 2025

Deets: The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from May 10 through October 26, 2025. Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to 21st-century incarnations in the cosmopolitan cities of London, New York, and Paris.

To mark the exhibition opening, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour will co-chair The Costume Institute Benefit (also known as The Met Gala®) on May 5, 2025, with honorary chair LeBron James. Additionally, chef Kwame Onwuachi will create the menu for the evening and artist Cy Gavin will design the décor concept alongside Derek McLane and Raúl Àvila. The annual event provides the department with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements.

The exhibition and benefit are made possible by Louis Vuitton.

Major funding is provided by Instagram, the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation, Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe and Africa Fashion International, and The Perry Foundation.

Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.

The Exhibition

The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world.

Inspired by Guest Curator Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition will explore the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. Historically, the term dandy was used to describe someone—often a man—who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants. Dandyism offered Black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony, and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities.

The exhibition will tell the Black dandy’s story over time through a range of media, such as garments and accessories, drawings and prints, and paintings, photographs, film excerpts, and more. Taken together, these narratives offer a history and description of Black dandyism as a discrete phenomenon that reflects broader issues of power and race in the Black diaspora.
