This year, more than 54 million visitors will come to New York City, and we want every one of you to have a unique and unforgettable experience.

And to make the most of your time here, experience this city the way New Yorkers do, by visiting neighborhoods in every borough. Spend an afternoon exploring the incomparable Brooklyn Museum or New York Botanical Garden. Visit Chinatown in Flushing, Queens for incredible cuisine and culture.

Every borough and every neighborhood has something to offer. Take a walk off the beaten path and explore some of the hidden gems and local spots that make New York City the greatest place on earth. Welcome! Yours sincerely,

THE US OPEN is where the world’s greatest players compete in the world’s best city. Witness epic matches while enjoying world-class cuisine and cocktails like the tournament’s signature drink, the Honey Deuce. Located in New York City’s Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, the US Open is played at the USTA BILLIE JEAN KING NATIONAL TENNIS CENTER, home of the historic Arthur Ashe Stadium. Watch the top stars compete for the title—and witness Roger Federer make another run at history! From the tennis to the food, drinks, and celeb spotting opportunities galore, the US Open is the ultimate end of the summer event in NYC. Don’t miss out. Get your tickets before they’re gone.

ONGOING The photographs in the new exhibit AMERICAN VISIONARY: JOHN F. KENNEDY’S LIFE AND TIMES at the NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY convey the sensation you’ve seen them before: JFK in the White House, his kids joyfully playing nearby; JFK with wife Jackie at an event, both of them elegant and assured (in truth, many images here have only rarely been shown). It’s part of the famous Kennedy allure, conveying a world that’s simultaneously approachable, glittering, and rarefied. This well-curated exhibition charts JFK’s trajectory as a politician, as well as the cultural and historical pulse of the times, when photojournalism was at an apex. It’s a wonderful opportunity to observe a world both familiar and lost, and to reflect on where the country was— and is. 170 Central Park W. (btw. 76th & 77th Sts.), 212-873-3400, nyhistory.org

The birth of a nation and a cloak-and-dagger spy thriller come together in the new exhibition OPERATION FINALE: THE CAPTURE & TRIAL OF ADOLF EICHMANN at the MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE—A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST. The exhbition provides an insider account of the capture of Eichmann, a Nazi Obersturmbannführer in charge of the logistics that led to the deaths of millions of Jews in the Holocaust. Eichmann might have lived out his days as a manager of an Argentine Mercedes-Benz plant were it not for a chance recognition, and a daring raid by Israel’s Mossad. Every good spy story needs forged IDs, a body double, notes on scars, a safe house, a fraught plane ride, and a Plan B. You’ll find them all here. 36 Battery Pl. (1st Pl..), 646-437-4202, mjhnyc.org

This summer, Michael Feinstein, “Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” returns to the club that bears his name with MICHAEL FEINSTEIN: SHOWSTOPPERS.

Cover Story VR NYC: Virtual Reality Thrills in New York City
Watch George Washington arrive for his inauguration through the magic of THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE Powered by THE RIDE.
Virtual reality is technology’s new horizon. With the help of a headset, you can take in new worlds and new ways of perceiving them—familiar flat landscapes suddenly opening up to 360°. In New York City, there are fresh dimensions to be discovered in art, film, gaming, and even in the humble realm of the bus tour, all thanks to the magic of VR.
Pop on your own personal time machine with THE RIDE.
THE RIDE has already found an innovative way of looking at the city—glass walls that turn their tour buses into rolling theatres—but their new downtown tour is adding time travel to the mix. THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE Powered by THE RIDE puts together incredible views, a personable guide, a few improvised performances, and 26 www.cityguideny.com
virtual reality. Headsets provided on the tour bring the past to life, letting you move through VR to experience a Wall Street trading floor on Black Tuesday, or George Washington’s inauguration just feet from where the actual swearing in took place! For a midtown time machine, hop on Gray Line CitySightseeing and their open-top double decker busses. In addition to all the excitement of the city, the tour’s TimeLooper app will put you right there for the construction of the Empire State Building, and the wild celebration in Times Square at the end of World War II. The TimeLooper NYC Iconic Landmarks tour experience is available as part of the All-Around-Town Tour package. The largest VR entertainment center in the Western Hemisphere is New York’s latest attraction, VR World. Covering three floors just down the street from the Empire State Building, VR World will get you inspired by virtual reality. Its diverse space brings culture,

The IMAX VR Experience Centre at AMC Kips Bay 15 will change the way you watch movies: 360° sounds and enthralling 3D visuals will make you think you’re in an entirely different world. Our cover image, Madame Tussauds, does virtual reality one better with a “Hyper-Reality” experience. Digital and physical worlds come together here, with guests plunked down on a custom stage. The tools they get—a proton pack, gun, and headset—help them track a supernatural foe through a New York City apartment complex. As Ghostbusters creator Ivan Reitman puts it, “The technology is breathtaking, the experience is thrilling, and what better way is there to use VR than to let audiences inhabit the stories they love?”

MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE— A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST
Be moved by the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
Lower Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage celebrates the lives and traditions of both those who survived and those who perished in the Shoah. The museum’s three-story Core Exhibition doesn’t shy away from the atrocities that took place, but it also serves as a testament to the strength and perseverance of Jewish culture. Using first-person histories and personal objects, the exhibition explains Jewish life before WWII, telling the story of confronting hatred and violence, and the struggle to endure the unimaginable. Rich with artifacts and film clips, MJH is an important institution worth visiting. Don’t miss artist Andy Goldsworthy’s beautiful living memorial, Garden of Stones. 36 Battery Pl.

A Doll’s House, Part 2 recently experienced a cast change—a big one. Of the four players, 75% departed, offering audiences a new dynamic, as well as a serious incentive to revisit the show. And I can assure newcomers to this outstanding work by Lucas Hnath you will not be disappointed by the current performances. They’re delivered by two much acclaimed Broadway veterans: Tony winner Julie White (Little Dog Laughed) in the role of Nora (vacated by Tony-winner Laurie Metcalf); and Tony nominee Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences, on Broadway and in the 2016 Denzel Washington film), who took over the part of Torvald Helmer from Chris Brandy Norwood makes a triumphant return to Chicago.

TUESDAYS in HELLO, DOLLY! with DONNA At 7pm every Tuesday, two-time Tony winner Donna Murphy (The King and I; Passion) takes the stage at the Shubert, where she blows audiences away with her pedigreed soprano take on Dolly Levi—an iconic part that’s been turned even more iconic by Bette Midler, who picked up a Tony for her more pop take on the role of a turn-of-the-19th-century matchmaker. Yes, Midler’s still in the driver’s seat the rest of the week, but the opportunity to see Murphy, a Broadway superstar, should not be passed up. It doesn’t hurt that the love interest of both Dollys is played by Frasier veteran/Tony winner David Hyde Pierce. (Murphy will also be covering during a couple week-long Midler hiatuses, check hellodollyonbroadway.com for dates.) TURNING LEFT ON THE GREAT WHITE WAY Michael Moore, despite his Michigan Midwestern street cred, steps up to the Broadway podium not so much as a provocateur pundit but as a liberal everydude conduit to entertainment. Not at the expense of getting his point across, of course. Is there subversive snark buzzing around his Broadway debut? It would be heartbreaking if there weren’t—as lamentable and bizarre as if Moore entered the theatrical fray bareheaded, wearing contacts, and sporting a tux. But then again, no two evenings of Moore’s limited-run show, The Terms of My Surrender, are 100% alike. Each comes wrapped in the month/week/day’s capricious headlines.
The material may be mercurial but the man delivering it? Not so much. Moore, whose film Bowling for Columbine won a 2002 Oscar, is a master at wielding a poking stick at any worthy abomination, with dysfunctional government being front, center, and tediously tweeting as America burns. “I think what the world needs right now is Michael Moore standing on a Broadway stage sharing his hilarious stories and incendiary political perspective, creating the kind of dialogue that can only happen in the theater,” says Tony-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening). And while once upon a rant Moore called the Donald “a malignant narcissist,” his show doesn’t stick exclusively to a POTUS agenda: there are a few other topical fish to eviscerate with humor and pragmatism in this 90-minute show. So sure, go to be entertained; but leave empowered.
Oscar winner Michael Moore takes on the tweeter-in-chief in The Terms of My Surrender.

Turkish Delights: Taste the Mediterranean at Midtown’s Galata BY ETHAN WOLFF
Some restaurants in New York City can open a door to another world. Galata is just such a place, where hospitality and authenticity come together for a transportive experience. From an unassuming side street in Midtown East you can access the best of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine.
The quality of the food belies the moderate prices. Mediterranean cooking is known for being healthy and Galata keeps to that reputation, focusing on fresh ingredients and deft seasoning. To start, the shepherd salad is more than the sum of its parts: cuke, tomato, onion, and pepper, brought together with a tart blend of vinegar and lemon, for a refreshing version of a classic. On the side is a Turkish bread which manages to be both light and crusty. A meze plate will let you sample a run of appetizers, from smoky eggplant salad to fresh mozzarella Caprese to “cigar rolls,” stuffed with cheese and parsley. Signature entrées show off grilling skills, in kebabs, fresh seafood like shrimp or bronzini, and house “meatballs,” which bring lamb and beef together into smoky
patties that are packed with flavor. Simmered lamb shank, falafel, and homemade Turkish dumplings fill out the offerings. Worth noting is the weekday lunch special, which attracts local office workers for a two-course $12.95 prix fixe, or set meals combining wraps, French fries, and a soda for $9.25. The meals make a perfect pairing with outings to neighbors like the Morgan Library or the Empire State Building. The restaurant leans toward the casual side, although there’s elegance in details like the glass candleholders on the tabletops, or the slender salt and pepper shakers. The interior has the charm of Istanbul, with accents of stone, copper, and dark wood. A sunny front room gives way to a copperbacked bar and two dining rooms. In back, a fireplace frame nods to the building’s history as a century-old tenement. An impressive Turkish coffee setup beckons from behind the bar, but then so do beers on tap, well-selected wines, and a full bar. Do save room for dessert. A case holds mostly house-made treats, with Turkish custard and rice pudding being major draws, joined by cream-stuffed and pistachio-dusted apricots and a honey-drenched baklava. Close your eyes and it will be easy to feel like you’re a world away.
Hospitality & authenticity come together for a transportive experience
