Three Big-Name Gallery Exhibitions Highlight Chelsea’s Fall Art Shows
We're hitting peak Chelsea gallery-going season right about now, with just about everyone putting up blockbuster-ish exhibitions in the hopes of luring in the wealthy out-of-towners here for the holidays, as well as anyone else in a buying mood after all the big fall auctions at the big houses (Sotheby's Christie's, Phillips). Earlier, we recapped the kick-off of Chelsea's Fall art season and as always, in addition to all the smaller treasures you might find behind any number of these frosted glass doors, there are a number of truly museum-quality shows going on right now, thanks to the neighborhood's heaviest hitters. Here's a quick look at three worth seeking out.
Chelsea’s Boutique Story Teams with Target for “Home For the Holidays”
If you’re unfamiliar with Story, it is an NYC retail concept that changes its space and merchandise every four to six weeks, completely reinventing itself with a new theme, new design and new floor plan - like a permanent-but-always-changing pop-up shop.

Blockbuster Shows at MoMA: Matisse’s The Cut Outs and Robert Gober’s The Heart Is Not a Metaphor
It's blockbuster art show season again at the city's great museums, and so far MoMA seems to be the hands-down winner with not one but TWO big crowd-pleasers. Matisse's Cut-Outs exhibition fills MoMA's big sixth floor space and Robert Gober's powerful The Heart Is Not a Metaphor takes over the contemporary galleries on the second floor as well as the museum's main rotunda. Even though lines are long, you should make some time now and get to MoMA before the holiday insanity really kicks in. Here's what you can expect.
See Dead People (and other such things) at the Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn

Sesame Street Takes Over Lincoln Center’s New York Public Library of the Performing Arts
Sesame Street is one those rare cultural touchstones that can function as both heartwarming nostalgia and fresh contemporary entertainment. That it actively educates at the same time is nothing short of a miracle.

Two Brand New NYC Public Art Projects – Perfect For The Fall!
Two new public art installations make Manhattan the perfect destination to walk in the park and breathe in both the fall fresh air and amazing art. Three huge sculptures by Tony Cragg have taken up residence in Madison Square Park through February; and the addictive, high-def Solar Reserve by John Gerrard, plopped down front and center on the Lincoln Center's main plaza.

Plan The Perfect Fall Family Day Trip or Romantic Weekend Getaway
Some New Yorkers might tell you that the best place on the planet to be during the fall season is right here in New York City! The temperatures are pleasant, everyone looks fantastic, the culture calendar is packed full, the energy is everywhere, crackling and alive. But, that said, it's still nice to embark upon an out-of-town adventure every now and then, someplace not too far-but "away" enough to give you break, help you recharge for the next round of everything. Here, then, are a half dozen suggestions passed along from friends and colleagues, of great fall getaways for families and couples.
