New York City blows my mind for a ton of different reasons. Among them are its sheer size and beauty. Check out Best Bookmarks who has compiled a roster of aerial shots of Gotham. Love. Nice find, Matt.

See you at the first annual Chelsea Art Walk, a cooperative event organized by over 25 galleries throughout northern Chelsea. Participating galleries will offer extended hours and special events that showcase the vibrancy of the summer arts scene in Chelsea, while local sponsors will offer food and drink specials throughout the evening.

Come Out and Play
If you're around NYC this weekend, head over to Governors Island for a giant art-filled playground with the return of Figment 2010. About 400 projects will be dotted throughout the park and all are interactive or participatory in some way.

Key to the City
Among many reasons that I am excited about June is Creative Time's Key to the City. Artist Paul Ramírez Jonas has created a Key to the City that is not only a symbolic award, but also a functional key—opening spaces across all five boroughs of New York City. This Key to the City is intended for everyday citizens, who will award one another the key for reasons large and small. Once in hand, the key launches a citywide exploration of backdoors, front gates, community gardens, graveyards, and museums that suggests that the city is a series of spaces that are either locked or unlocked.
I truly hope this succeeds. We need more innovative ideas like this.

He's Going to Jump!
Well, not quite, but that's the stir that Antony Gormley’s first New York City public-art piece—life-size casts of
his own body strategically placed on buildings and pathways in and
around Madison Square Park has created by passerby. Take a look!

Who Loves Photography?
I do! That's why it kills me that I won't be able to attend this weekend's AIPAD show (arguably the most important photography show in the world) at the Armory where 70 of the world's leading photography galleries present a wide range of museum-quality work from 19th century photographs to cutting edge contemporary.

Culinary Insiders
If you're a foodie and live in New York, you should check out the Culinary Insiders. Membership offers some great opportunities from behind-the-scenes tours at new and top restaurants (I took a private tour at Daniel last weekend!) to private dinners with like-minded young professionals. The most interesting component of Culinary Insiders is the food + art collaborations. The organization pairs a chef with artists on really interesting projects (i.e. Daniel Boulud and VIk Muniz!).
