German Festival |
5th Avenue Between 63rd to 86th Streets New York, NY 10021 United States +1 646 334 7717 http://www.germanparadenyc.org |
This German parade was named after General Frederick von Steuben, a Prussian army officer who brought his services to General George Washington during the American Revolution. The parade takes place near the Yorkville section of Manhattan, once home to a large German immigrant population. Today the area is part of the trendy Upper East Side. Upwards of a million German-Americans turn out each year for the parade, which is held every September. Musical bands march and people in traditional garb walk along the route. Admission is free.

Contemporary American Art exhibition |
945 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10021 United States +1 212 570 3676 http://www.whitney.org |
Every two years, since 1932, the Whitney Museum has hosted arguably the most important modern art event in the city. It features new works by American artists, as well as those by contemporary international favorites of the art world. This exhibition covers every medium from painting and sculpture to film and Internet art. The competition for a spot on the roster is fierce, as only around 200 pieces may be exhibited (and a good showing can help make an artist's career). Occurring during even-numbered years, the show runs from late March to early June. Tickets are available on the Web site or at the museum. Review © 2007, Wcities |
