DOG STAR remembers a visit to Flushing meadows Park a few years ago and the great surprise we found in a low building opposite the famous globe (here).
Inside we found an incredible installation on permanent display: bird’s-eye view of NYC at the Panorama of the City of New York on the main floor. It's real fun to look for your neighborhood and maybe even find your building.
Duke Riley’s Those About to Die Salute You, which opened last week, is based on a battle held near the museum earlier this year between toga-clad participants in boats fighting with baguettes. That’s just awesome.
