Deets: Following critically acclaimed, sold-out engagements at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles and Arena Stage in Washington, DC, the smash-hit Mindplay will enthrall audiences in New York City this December. Created and performed by Drama Desk Award-nominated mentalist Vinny DePonto (Charlatan), written by Vinny DePonto and Josh Koenigsberg, and directed by Andrew Neisler, Mindplay invites audiences to an unforgettable, gasp-inducing experience in which your thoughts and memories play a leading role. Infused with intrigue and mystery, DePonto guides participants on a jaw-dropping, interactive journey as he reads minds while also revealing his own.

The show was hailed by Broadway World LA as an “inviting, nostalgia-ridden… gem of a performance. Vinny DePonto is a masterful actor, storyteller, mentalist, and illusionist, and Mindplay puts all his talents on display in a unique production that is not to be missed.” The Washington Post raves that DePonto “brings ‘how did he do that?’ wonder to delight all…” and demonstrates “enthralling feats of mind-probing prowess…” and “mesmerizing stage magic — including one particularly head-spinning stunt.” Masterfully blurring the line between illusion and reality, while investigating the wildly unreliable natur of memory, Mindplay will send audiences reeling into the night.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Buy tickets now!

Performances begin December 15 for a limited engagement.

Mindplay is recommended for audiences 13 and up. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This partnership marks the first time a Chinese new-style tea brand has joined forces with a globally renowned contemporary artist, creating a unique fusion of tea culture and modern art.

Under the theme “Adding a Touch of BOBO to the World," the China Project of Love & Life merges Yayoi Kusama's iconic polka dot art with HEYTEA's signature BOBO elements—the cheerful, round bubbles that have become synonymous with the brand's innovative tea beverages. This fusion celebrates joy, vitality, and the infinite possibilities of artistic expression.

This commonality serves as a bridge, uniting the realms of contemporary art and new-style tea culture.

Limited-Edition Products and Merchandise

In celebration of this partnership, HEYTEA is launching seven BOBO tea series products, including the much-anticipated return of Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk (Original), Soybean Pudding Bobo Milk, Mango Grapefriut Boom, Duo Matcha Buffalo Milk and etc. Each beverage will feature exclusive, limited-edition packaging inspired by Kusama's art, including limited-edition drink cups adorned with collaborative designs that blend Kusama's polka dots with HEYTEA's aesthetic, artfully designed paper bags and cup sleeves featuring whimsical illustrations. Additionally, HEYTEA stores worldwide will offer a range of specially crafted merchandise. These include exclusive keychains and mugs that encapsulate the artistic spirit of the partnership. These items will be available as exclusive gifts during the project, enhancing the emotional connection between HEYTEA and its customers.

Deets: The Dead Rabbit announced the next phase of its partnership with The Rooftop at Pier 17 in the Seaport. Beginning January 10, The Rooftop will shed its holiday decor to become Joxer’s, an all-new Irish sports bar concept. The Dead Rabbit brings its high-touch modern Irish hospitality with a unique menu and accompanying decor spanning the entire rooftop space–including the private dining cottages, full-service bar, bungalows, and ice skating rink. Guests are welcomed to experience Joxer’s through early March, after which it will transition into the pub’s “Paddy’s Not Patty’s” St. Patrick’s Day concept.

Joxer’s derives its name from Irish singer Christy Moore’s “Joxer Goes to Stuttgart,” a classic folk song that tells the story of a group of Irish soccer fans traveling to Germany in support of the Republic of Ireland at the 1988 UEFA European Championship. Following suit, Joxer’s captures the excitement and camaraderie of sports fandom, creating a space for spectators to root for their favorite teams over a drink and participate in winter games in an iconic space overlooking the city. 

Joxer’s will feature neon sports signs, memorabilia from major sports organizations like the NBA, NFL, and NHL, and no shortage of large screen TVs. The Tavern and Cottages will provide an environment akin to a VIP box at a sporting event, complete with a carefully-curated and full-service food and drink experience. The Bungalows and Ice Rink, meanwhile, will offer more of a casual grab-and-go atmosphere for walk-in guests looking to watch games alongside large groups of friends. 

Ideated by the team at The Dead Rabbit, Joxer’s drinks menu will feature high-quality and high-integrity takes on sports bar classics, spanning highballs, boilermakers, hot cocktails, and more, as well as a thoughtful selection of beer, wine, and Irish spirits. Featured cocktails include the Joxer’s Irish Coffee (Tullamore D.E.W., hot coffee, salted caramel, whipped cream), Bonus Points Boilermaker (a pint of Guinness served with a shot of Teeling Small Batch Whiskey, Cacao, and Cassis), and Zamboni Negroni (Sipsmith Gin, Italian Bitters, Sweet Vermouth, Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew, Rhubarb). The food menu will include cold-weather warmers including Ham and Cheese Toasties, Guinness Glazed Ribs, Baked Mac and Cheese, Corned Beef Tacos, and a classic Irish Spice Bag. 

Programming at Joxer’s will include all major league games and events, with the option to request specific channels in The Bungalows and Cottages. Game nights and other special themed moments will be announced on a rolling basis. Guests will further be able to get in on the action throughout the entire space via arcade games, pool, foosball and more. In addition, guests can continue to enjoy skating The Rooftop’s Ice Rink.

The Rooftop at Pier 17 is New York City’s most dynamic open-air entertainment venue, which during summers also hosts live concerts. Set five stories above the East River, guests visiting this winter’s The Dead Rabbit pop-up on The Rooftop will enjoy skyline views of such iconic landmarks as the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and One World Trade Center. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: The Dead Rabbit Presents Joxer’s on The Rooftop at Pier 17 will be open seven days a week. Stay tuned to RooftopatPier17.com for the full sports programming schedule to be available.

Deets: Winter Glow. This winter, celebrate the elements of light, art, and storytelling in Flatiron & NoMad with free public pop-up programming and explore the interactive installations The Diamonds by Perséides Studio and Spectrum by Mirari from QDSinternational.

The Diamonds
The Diamonds dazzle as they reflect sunlight, and shine brightly when they light up at night. From a distance, Alexis Laurence and Francis Laporte’s elegant interactive artwork, The Diamonds, draws your eye, inviting you to get closer and make the structures turn. Their movement produces a melody along with a kaleidoscopic array of glittering lines and points. Each Diamond has its own distinctive colour and tune. When you get together with other people to make each installation spin, the artwork produces a harmonious waltz in music and light, a thrill for your eyes and ears.

Spectrum
This interactive installation sheds light on the phenomenon of communication, by displaying the path taken by the waves generated by voices and other sounds. Here, the fundamental means of interpersonal communication, speech, is disconnected from language. Instead, it becomes a cascade of waves and luminous pulses, illustrating the fascinating trajectories of sound. Watch as your message moves from one end of the circles to the other. You will see how small gestures – invisible reverberations – can have a big impact.

Tulips by Hou de Sousa & String Lighting by Hou de Sousa
Designed and installed by award-winning architecture firm Hou de Sousa, the Flatiron Public Plazas feature new lighting that enlivens our public spaces. On the South Plaza, next to the Flatiron Building, view the festive lighting installation, Tulips and on the North Plaza enjoy overhead string lighting.

Winter Glow will also celebrate our local businesses with exclusive deals from local Flatiron & NoMad retailers.

Deets: LINE FRIENDS, the fan favorite global character brand known corporately as IPX, is teaming up with interactive entertainment brand HoYoverse, the developer of the beloved game Genshin Impact, to debut the highly anticipated Genshin minini POP-UP at the LINE FRIENDS flagship store in Times Square, New York from January 22nd to February 2nd.

The pop-up, located at 1515 Broadway, will be decorated in the theme of Inazuma, an enchanting nation from the world of Genshin Impact, and offer a series of fun activities. Open to the public with no reservations required, fans can explore multiple photo opportunities inspired by Inazuma's cityscape and take pictures with cosplayers dressed as game characters. Visitors will also have the opportunity to shop a curated selection of exclusive merchandise celebrating the Genshin minini characters, including collectible figures, plushies, snow globes and other special items designed exclusively for Genshin Impact fans.

The Genshin minini POP-UP offers fans and newcomers alike an opportunity to connect with Genshin Impact in a whole new way, building on the global partnership between IPX and HoYoverse, which combines HoYoverse's imaginative game universe with IPX's innovative character IP expertise. Following the overwhelming success of the initial Fall 2024 Genshin minini POP-UP in Seoul, South Korea, this marks the first time the Genshin minini pop-up will launch in the United States, creating a must-visit destination for fans and anyone seeking a unique experience in New York City.

The official Genshin minini characters were created by reinterpreting Genshin Impact characters through IPX's creative team, emphasizing their personalities and braveness despite their cute appearance and small size. This unique collection includes fan-favorite mascot Paimon and seven beloved characters from the Inazuma region, such as Raiden Shogun, Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Kaedehara Kazuha and Taroumaru. Reimagined as miniature versions of themselves, these characters hope to charm both Genshin Impact fans and general character enthusiasts alike.

Additionally, through its partnership with HoYoverse, IPX plans to release minini characters representing each major region in Genshin Impact. These launches will take place in select major markets in Asia and the US, allowing IPX to further connect with fans worldwide.

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.

Deets: Times Square Arts is pleased to present Pernilla Ohrstedt Studio's Love Ever After as the winner of the 17th annual Love & Design Competition, on display from February 4 – March 4, 2025 with the support of curatorial partner The World Around and collaborator Billion Oyster Project.

Love Ever After is designed to create beauty through simplicity, where reuse, regrowth, and love for the environment and community are an integral part of its story. The project assembles metal mesh used for oyster reef cages to create a three-dimensional grid revealing geometries of a heart. The three-dimensional heart flickers and shifts color and shape as the angle of its perception changes, creating a tactile and human-scale experience in contrast to the high-tech screens for which Times Square is famous.

Accompanying the installation will be an additional oyster cage filled with shells, symbolizing the future of Love Ever After: after February, the pieces of the heart will become oyster reef cages placed around New York City's shoreline, monitored by hundreds of volunteers as part of Billion Oyster Project's mission to restore one billion oysters back to New York Harbor by 2035.

For seventeen years, Times Square Arts has hosted the Love & Design competition to celebrate the work of innovative, emerging architecture and design firms, and speak to themes of love during the month of February in Times Square. The finalists for this year’s competition included: Atelier Masomi, Jerome Haferd, Space Caviar, and Studio Galeon.

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.
