Now-July 21. This is New York at the Museum of the City of New York
In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Museum of the City of New York, the museum created a full-floor exhibition, This Is New York, 100 years of the City in Art and Pop Culture to explore the various stories, songs, art, literature and more, created over the past century throughout New York City.
The full-floor exhibition is organized around the types of urban spaces where the stories of New York are told. “Tempo of the City” explores the ways in which artists have depicted life in the city’s streets and subways, and the emotions that the experience of joining the public crowd often evoke, whether joy or alienation, fear or pride. The gallery also features “Songs of New York,” an interactive installation that allows visitors to explore the richness and diversity of each borough through songs it has inspired. In the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Gallery, “At Home in New York” spotlights literature and art works that animate the unique challenges and opportunities of making a home in a city of eight million people. The third gallery, “Destination: NYC,” showcases work about the city’s spaces for gathering and spectacle, its dynamic unique nightlife spots, as well as its iconic parks and waterfronts.
A special gallery, “You Are Here,” dedicated to New York on film, provides an immersive 16-screen experience drawn from hundreds of movies about the city made over the past century. The film immersive also includes an introductory installation, “Scenes from the City” which explores how New York has been used as a movie set for the past century.

Yep, I’m a member of the Gab fan club and I have been for years. Why do we all love her? She makes us all feel and look beautiful with her lush fabrics, elegant and classic styles, and on-site tailoring. I have worn this white blazer and satin top in so many different ways – white blazer with black slacks, satin top with black blazer, and I always feel so put together. But the best part is just getting to know Gab herself.

Roving in Philadelphia
Our roving photographer, Nicole Freezer Rubens, writes:
I have always held a special place in my heart for the city of Philadelphia. For decades I have been taking Amtrak down to visit my college roommate, eventually my children who were university students there and one when she chose to stay. To me, Philly is a quaint, manageable walking city with just the right balance between grit and charm. The precious residential blocks lined with charming vintage row houses are evidence of the deep history of this important American city.
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn and was the US capital until 1800. It was home to the first US library, hospital, med school, bank and stock exchange. Today it continues to invite, offering a little taste of everything from culture, education, history and a fabulous food and bar scene. I was there over the weekend and experienced the oddest weather pattern switching from sun to cold to rain and snow. All the while the cherry blossoms began to appear in full bloom and rain down onto the cobblestone, much like this bygone City of Brotherly Love, continuing to incorporate the old with the onset of the newness of spring.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
