Each week, Alexa is rounding up the buzziest fashion awards, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and popular cultural events in NYC. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, buy, taste and experience around town.
What’s making our luxury list this week? A super cool Yankees collaboration, another buzzy Korean restaurant, and Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone are back on Broadway.
Richard Serra is perhaps best known for his monumental steel sculptures. But it turns out that the artist, who died earlier this year at the age of 85, also made films and videos. Over a dozen of them, created between 1968-1979 (some shot on 16mm film) are currently on display at Dia Chelsea. Some of them first debuted in the Whitney’s 1968 “Anti-Illusion” show; they were short and filmed little or nothing in black and white. Others are longer, like a nine-minute film shot in 1975 while Serra was living and working in Portland, Oregon. It features a major bridge on the Burlington Northern Railroad on the Willamette River. Through September 14, DiaArt.org.
The Bronx Bombers collaborated with NYON on a 49-piece collection for men, women and kids that debuted earlier this week. The heroic pieces, according to the brand, “are a quartet of varsity jackets — half with a wool body and leather sleeves and half modeled from 100% cotton twill — with a striped lining…a subtle nod to the most iconic team uniforms in the history of sports professionals.” NYON also partnered with New Era, a company that has apparently supplied Major League Baseball caps for over thirty years. There are 16 hat options – four 59FIFTY, four 9FORTY A-Frame snapbacks and eight adjustable 9TWENTY hats. – which are definitely a work at home. NewYorkorNowhere.com
Two of the most iconic actors of our time will share a stage on Broadway for a limited time. Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone are starring together The roommatea comedy by Jen Silverman (whose raucous novel, There will be problems was published earlier this year). The play, directed by five-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, is described as a “portrait of a blossoming intimacy between two women from very different backgrounds as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality and the promise of reinvention.” . Performances begin August 29; opening night is set for September 12 at the Booth Theatre. TheRoommateBway.com
For nearly twenty years, Stark – the over 85-year-old carpet retailer – has collaborated with Italian fashion house Missoni for exclusive carpet collections. The latest offerings include nine available rug styles, five custom styles, and a “performance acrylic fiber” design that, they claim, “effortlessly combines elegance with durability.” As expected, they’re all colourful, vibrant and upbeat – potential game changers for a room. Priced from $5,000 at StarkCarpet.com
Odre (“welcome”) opened earlier this week, the latest restaurant from Hand Hospitality, the company behind the two-Michelin-starred Atomix, the still buzzing Cho Dang Gol and the much-lauded Okdongsik, plus over a dozen other mainly Korean restaurants. It is led by chef Changki Kang, who created a four-course prix fixe dinner menu (a reasonable $42) that is “rooted in the rhythm of the seasons…. evoking the essence of Korean flavors.” Examples of seasonal dishes available upon opening will include Sepia Hwe, Shrimp Jeon and Bansang, served on Korean-style pottery.Art lovers take note: the space also features original works by Korean artist HyeSeong Kwon. com
