Meeting: an art installation by James Turrell
Situated in Queens at the MoMa PS1, this simple art installation by James Turrell, provides an active, medidative experience. Visitors are asked to lie on blankets and gaze upwards toward an unobstructed view of the sky. For 45 minutes, the colors gradually change due to a subtle LED light variation, mimicking the light created by sunrise and sunset. A great way to relax after a long day of shows at Fashion Week.

Republic of Booza: for authentic Middle Eastern ice cream
Using an ancient, Middle Eastern technique, Republic of Booza are serving ice cream and sorbets with a uniquely creamy texture. Unlike traditional ice cream, which is usually a base of eggs, cream, milk and sugar, the process of “booza” uses only milk, salep and mastic, which results in an super stretchy consistency. Our favorite flavors are matcha coconut, Schewun white chocolate and Mango-Tajín sprinkled with pistachios.
