Things to Do This Weekend in NYC (9/25-9/27)
(9/25-9/27) There’s more to do in NYC now than there’s been since the mid-March lockdown. With the state infection rate below 1% for more than a month, the Governor has cleared the way for indoor culture to return. Museums can reopen with safety and cleaning protocols in place, although admission will be limited to 25% of capacity. The list of reopened cultural venues is lengthening; last week we added the New Museum, Fraunces Tavern Museum, the Society of Illustrators, and MoMA PS1. This week sees the return of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
Culture fans also have two major exhibitions to enjoy, spread out around the city. The reimagined 58th New York Film Festival will feature drive-in and virtual screenings. The outdoor screenings will have extensive health and social distancing procedures in place. Drive-ins are located in three locations, one each in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. The festival runs from September 17th through October 11th. Photography fans will want to check out the 9th annual Photoville Festival, a free photo destination that combines online community storytelling events with photo exhibitions in public spaces throughout all five boroughs. The festival runs from September 17th through November 29th.
This detailed map of open restaurants shows over 10,000 venues now serving; included in that number are more than 5,000 places where you can eat outside. More than 340 streets have been closed to traffic and opened to expanded outdoor dining plans. Shopping malls got the green light to reopen this week—read on for more reopenings and other things to do!
