"A restaurant by M. Wells hospitality located in the Museum of Modern Art PS1, known for its unique culinary offerings and artistic setting. Now closed." - Emma Orlow
"Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon features over 60 pieces from the artist's oeuvre, including Rant Redux."
"The sister institution to MoMA is no ordinary art museum. Located in a striking Renaissance Revival former public school building in Long Island City, Queens, MoMA PS1’s setting is just as interesting as its collection. All manner of cutting-edge contemporary art is shown here, with a collection over 200,000 pieces strong, from the likes of James Turrell and Ai Weiwei. The people-watching can be just as good as the art, as creative types from around the city come here to find inspiration." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
"PS1 has been home to some of the world’s best contemporary art since the mid-seventies. The museum offers a wide range of exhibitions including painting, sculpture, installations and performance. In the summer, be sure to catch Warm Ups, an outdoor music series that takes place in the courtyard. But perhaps the most fascinating aspect of PS1 is the building itself, which retains the character of its past. As you walk the halls to discover exhibits behind closed doors, it can even feel haunted!" - MSLK
