The gorgeous set of the blockbuster play Hamilton, at the Richard Rodgers Theater.

My second-favorite outdoor-place in Manhattan. The abandoned 1.6 km rail tracks running above Chelsea down to the Meatpacking district were turned into an above-ground park. Perfectly nice place for sitting in the sun, reading, relaxing, having lunch in some green spot in the city. Nice views at the Hudson River, New Jersey, the Statue of Liberty (little small from there but still visible) and the architecture around Chelsea.

Fried chicken. Biscuits. Sausage gravy. Artisanal root beer. House-made pickles.

A living archive preserving history and promoting scholarship of grassroots urban space activism by researching and archiving efforts to create community spaces. They also exhibit materials that document these actions, to educate people on the political implications of reclaimed space.

I buy gigantic dry-aged steaks and 1.5-inch pork chops here. The staff is really friendly and helpful.
