Eat |
|
The current set-up at Parklife in Gowanus is great if you’re getting together with a small group: tables are spaced out throughout its interior courtyard and all ordering is done via smartphone. Try the Tlacoyos, stuffed masa pockets bursting with flavor. | |
|
Drink |
|
In the Before Times, Branded Saloon was an excellent spot in Prospect Heights to grab a drink and catch a show. Now, they’ve created a large, outdoor dining area, great for people watching on Vanderbilt Ave. Order the strong-but-delicious pina colada. | |
|
Do |
|
“Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925-1945” was only on view for a month before the Whitney Museum closed in March. Head to the cultural institution when it reopens on Thursday to see the timely exhibition that we gave four stars. | | |

Grab a cocktail on a
Lower East Side shipwreck |
 |
|
Iceberg, dead ahead! Oh, wait. No, that’s just a drunk frat bro. A shipwreck-inspired pop-up bar has now opened on the Lower East Side. Banzarbar Shipwrecked looks like a wrecked sailing vessel on Chrystie Street with billowing sails and a nautical design. (Albeit, a ship that was carrying a lot of cocktails before things went south.) Stop by the bar for inventive, high-octane drinks this week like the Here Be Mermaids (vodka, mango brandy, vanilla, coconut oolong, almond, lime) and the Over The Yardarm (pisco, rhum, blanco vermut, strawberry, togarashi, olive oil). |

What it’s really like going back
to a museum |
 |
|
The city’s museums are an essential part of the city’s fabric. But even though many are finally reopening, they look a lot different now than they did at the start of the year. Our Things To Do Editor Shaye Weaver stopped by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to get a first-hand look at what you can expect when you head back to a museum for the first time. Get ready for social distancing, limited capacities, hand sanitizing stations and face masks. |

Excellent Burmese food
in the subway |
 |
|
One of New York’s few Burmese restaurants just opened up this month—in a subway station. Yun Café and Asian Mart is located inside the 74th-Broadway stop in Jackson Heights and has a Burmese menu you’ll want to explore. The country’s popular tea leaf salad ($7) is filled with cabbage, bird eye chilis, garlic, dried baby shrimp, soybeans and fragrant herbs with a squeeze of lime juice. There’s also a filling noodle salad with shredded chicken ($7) and a host of other affordable delicacies. |

The 10 types of New Yorkers that have emerged from quarantine |
 |
|
Five months in quarantine can really change a person. (Or, at the very least, reveal who a person really is.) We’ve all come out of these last few socially distanced weeks with new habits, niche interests and numerous video calling tips, but there seem to be a few dominant types of New Yorker we’re now noticing. The Person Who Got Really Into Rollerblading” or “The Home Improvement Addict," to name a few. Read on for all 10 of the types we’ve spotted in the wild. |
