Fifth Ave shuts down for hats 🎩🌸 The Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival started in the 1800s as a post church fashion stroll outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral… Now it’s pure NYC chaos. No rules. Just creativity. 🗽 No place like NYC!

Ambassadors Clubhouse, both its popular London incarnation and this new outpost, takes its inspiration from a real house and a real ambassador, whose portrait hangs above the staircase in these fabricated digs. He is the grandfather of its owners, the Sethi siblings, and his summer home in Dalhousie was a meeting place for the jet set and his three grandchildren. With Ambassadors Clubhouse, the Sethis sought to re-create not only his “party mansion,” as they call it, but the entire period before the British Empire divided the region into India and Pakistan at the end of the Raj. “The Sethis have worked a kind of high-gloss magic to good effect in London, where their restaurants are starry and starred destinations,” writes chief restaurant critic Matthew Schneier. “So it is destined to be in New York.” On a recent Friday night, people were getting turned away in groups, and the only stroke of luck fell to a young woman who’d come to plead a case for her boyfriend’s birthday celebration. “I watched her throw her arms around two hosts,” Schneier writes, “and were those tears?” Read what Schneier thought of the glitzy new arrival: nymag.visitlink.me/uv1EvY

It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.

Tucked away on tiny Mosco Street in Manhattan's Chinatown, #FriedDumpling (aka Old Shandong Potstickers) cranks out hundreds of delectable, crisp-edged pork and chive 𝘨𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘦 every day. Dosed with black vinegar and garlicky red pepper sauce, they go down way too easy...

A great way to get depressed on a Thursday night is to look at the "original intent" maps. Here is PATH from the 70s. Imagine what the region would look like today if this were implemented.
