The beautiful ice skating destination is the centerpiece of the 2.5-acre public plaza at the new mixed-use development on the west side of town, Manhattan West, where dining destinations like Ci Siamo, Zou Zou's, Jajaja, Café Grumpy and Umami Burger have already taken up residence. The space is also home to Midnight Theatre, a contemporary variety theater that combines experiences related to Broadway, the comedy world and even magic. There is no shortage of beautiful ice rinks in New York-but there's obviously always room for more, which is why we welcome the new rink at Manhattan West with open arms (and skates on our feet).

"The Shape of Things is an incisive, powerfully emotional, and critical reflection on events both deeply embedded in American culture and history and the explosive events of the past year," The Park Avenue Armory says.īetween Thursday and Saturday, December 9-11, you can see "LAND OF BROKEN DREAMS," a large-scale, multidisciplinary concert series that accompany these installations with a wide range of conversations, presentations, and performances featuring artists, poets, singers, dancers, thinkers, and scholars sharing work and exploring some of the most urgent issues facing society today. Weems addresses the turmoil of current events with 19th-century carnival-like created spectacle with dioramas based on spontaneous street memorials, peep shows and a Pepper’s Ghost. The "pageantry" and "circus-like" qualities of contemporary American political life are being highlighted in a new series of large-scale installations and a cyclorama (a panoramic image on the inside of a cylindrical platform) of six to eight projections of new and existing film footage in "The Shape of Things" by Carrie Mae Weems. Next to these items are the things that inspired them, from a 1500s tapestry from the Met Cloisters that directly influenced an artist on Sleeping Beauty to actual Rococo furniture and decorative items that inspired the characters in Beauty and the Beast. Disney fans who enter the exhibition, which officially opens Friday, December 10, will be wowed by the storybook-inspired architecture of the space but also the presence of some actual artifacts from the movies, including the ornate storybook for Sleeping Beauty and the actual story sketches from Cinderella. The new exhibit, called Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts, is sure to capture the imagination of Disney fans young and old through the display of 18th century tapestries, furniture, Boulle clocks, Sèvres porcelain and other decorative art from Europe set in context with 150 production artworks and works on paper from Disney. The magic and splendor of Walt Disney Animation Studios, from the opulence of Beauty and the Beast to the stylized forests of Sleeping Beauty, have their very own exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time.
