Just a quick note to DebitNM.

The tours of the City Hall Subway station are available ONLY to members of the NY Transit Museum.

However, anyone can see the City Hall station (opened October 27, 1904, closed December 31, 1945) by staying on the downtown 6 train (7th, 8th or 9th car recommended) as it leaves the Brooklyn Bridge station and loops around thru the City Hall station to come up on the uptown side of the Brooklyn Bridge station.

Thanks for clarifying, nycguy10002

As long as you are heading to the museum of the Moving Image visit the Fisher Landau Center, the Noguchi museum and the street art around Welling Court.

The entire collection will be on exhibit until Jan 16, after that only partial.

The collection of the Neue Galerie is too large to be exhibited all at once. The current collection is Klimt women on one floor and highlights of the collection on the upper floor, with the exception of the decorative arts room which I believe has no or or a very small rotation of items.

"Seeing my son's exhibit at the MOMA last December."

Tell us more!

He set up The Newsstand as part of the exhibition Ocean of Images: New Photography 2015. The Newsstand was originally located at Brooklyn's Lorimer Street/Metropolitan Avenue L/G stop. It was a conceptual pop-up retail store that ran for 14 months in a regular subway newsstand that did not have a retailer for that time.

"Artists acting as guest clerks transformed it into a mecca for independently published magazines, zines, books, and comics as well as screen-printed posters, T-Shirts, audiocassettes, pins, patches and postcards dropped off by commuters." Quoted from the book, The Newsstand, by Skira Rizzoli, and designed by my son. A year later, The Newsstand, is now part of the museums permanent collection.

My son was one of the original conceptional artists.

Thanks for asking, NGail!

gailscout -

I've got to get down there to see it - it sounds amazing!

Last year's exhibit, NGail. Not sure when and where the MOMA will exhibit it again. It was up from November 2015-March 2016. There is the book, The Newsstand in the bookstore; articles on the NYT - both the original site and the installation at the museum.

I've been googling it - so great! Sorry I missed it and hope they bring it back again.

I love this bit -

I'm not sure if I saw that article,NGail. My son is in several of the photos, but he is not the curator, Lele, who owns the crate!

That is way cool gailscount!

Late to the party with followup advice, but if you find yourself nearby, like the Tenement Museum, get a pickle here:

That is indeed a grand accomplishment. Many of family and friends are in the various arts and such a coup is truly remarkable.

If you go to the Pickle Guys, upon entering on the right, is a photo of mine of the owner preparing horse radish for Passover a few years ago, wearing a gas mask.

Chumley's (former speakeasy)in the Village has recently reopened.

No sign out front and no sneaking in the side door.

"preparing horse radish for Passover a few years ago, wearing a gas mask."

Now that is HORSERADISH!!!!!

Who needs Claritin or Sudefed. That horseradish will clear nasal congestion in a NY Minute.

IMDonehere

What until they have a commercial with all the side effects.

That is mighty strong horseradish. Avoid on third date.

Add nosebleeds to the list. It is the sign of good fresh grated horseradish.
