Why you should visit New York before the end of 2019
MORE ART AT MOMA
In the last four months, art lovers visiting New York have left with the disgust of walking in the face of the doors of the ** Museum of Modern Art **. This great landmark of the city has been closed to complete some ambitious and millionaire expansion works but, good news, the wait is over!
On October 21, MoMA opens with almost 5,000 square meters more of surface . Gaining space will allow you to organize your works in a more logical way. Before it was done by discipline and, now, it will follow a chronological order. In addition, the museum will have a huge space, at street level, open to the public, completely free, and a terrace overlooking the inner courtyard of the museum.
APPLE'S MAGIC CUBE
It has also been under construction (and they have lasted more than 2 years) the Apple Store on the famous Fifth Avenue . We're talking about their so-called headquarters that's open 24/7 to the delight of insomniacs.
With its opening a great icon of the store returns, the huge glass cube that houses the entrance to the catacombs where mobiles, tablets and laptops are found and to which you descend through new cantilevered stairs.
This is the third cube to decorate the store (the first was installed in 2006 and renovated in 2011) and this one has a optical effect that makes it change color depending on the point of view to make our visit literally amazing.

CENTRAL PARK, CENTRAL AUTUMN
In the final stretch of the year, Central Park becomes epicenter of activity. We are not talking about the amateur runners, nor the spontaneous cyclists, nor the dog walkers who occupy the park on a daily basis. Until November you have the opportunity to **rent a boat for four people at The Loeb Boathouse **.
It's only $15 for an hour (with $4 increments for every extra quarter hour) and you can test your biceps by browsing The Lake , one of the lakes with the most spectacular views of the city's skyline.
Too much effort for you? Try your fingertips by controlling the controls of the **remote controlled toy boats on the Conservatory Water Pond**. If your feet are your thing, on weekends the Central Park Dace Skaters Association throws a real party on wheels at Skater's Circle, near The Mall.

When it gets colder, you can skate at one of the park's two ice rinks, like the one at Wollman Rink . And, of course, you shouldn't miss **the great event of the New York Marathon** on Sunday, November 1, which ends in the heart of Central Park.
SIX MONTHS TO SKATE ON ICE
Speaking of skating rinks, in New York it is not an exclusive winter activity. The ** Rockefeller Center opens its own on October 12 ** and admits acrobatics and also the occasional smack until mid-April. Half a year to enjoy one of the idyllic points of Christmas.
The Bryant Park ice rink has nothing to envy Rockefeller Center. is up and running from the end of October to the beginning of March and has the advantage of being slightly larger. If you like watching more than participating, at the end of the year the park's Christmas shops open so you can also spend your credit card until you smoke.

TABLE IN THE BEST RESTAURANTS
Some of the best chefs in the city warm up the stoves in these last months of the year. Alfred Portale has carved the very name after him, both figuratively and literally. The chef opens his own restaurant, simply called Portale , after taking the famous Gotham Bar & Grill to stardom.
Lovers of Thai cuisine have an affordable and succulent option from two Michelin stars, Ann Redding and Matt Danzer, called Thai Diner, in the Nolita neighborhood . And with some expectation, the landing in New York of the Brazilian chef is expected Manoella Buffara who will open her first restaurant in the Chelsea neighborhood, Ella . What palate can resist all these appetizing novelties?
THE METROPOLITAN OPERA GIVES THE SINGING
The New York Opera kicks off the season at full throttle with the revival of George Gershwin's classic Porgy and Bess , a work that has not stepped on the stages of the Met in the last three decades. The new production of james robinson it has a cast made up entirely of black actors, as required by the intellectual owners of the piece.

In addition to this work, there will be another twenty revivals (such as Macbeth, Madama Butterfly, La Bohème, The Marriage of Figaro) and expected premieres such as Philip Glass's Akhnaten and François Girard's production of The Flying Dutchman . There will be options for all ears.
PREMIERES ON BROADWAY
With the dazzling premiere of the musical based on the movie Moulin Rouge still fresh, the billboard is completed this fall with two works that are born from the record world. The first to arrive will be Tina, based on the life of the queen of rock and roll, Tina Turner. The musical follows a genre that has been very successful on stage, jukebox, which consists of narrating the biography of bands or singers, including their greatest hits.
The case of Jagged Little Pill is a bit different. The title will sound familiar to you because it is the most popular album by Canadian Alanis Morissette, awarded with five Grammys. The musical does not serve as a biography of the singer but her songs form a story that revolves around a seemingly perfect family written by Hollywood screenwriter, Diablo Cody.
