The weather looks great for Sunday. Don't miss out. Four don't miss things to do today.

  • Poses and Imaginary Objects/Gallery RIVAA, 527 Main Street, Roosevelt Island: Matei’s collection, the painter says, captures “the ambivalence of life, of soul and matter, as the objects depicted move aimlessly in time and space.”
  • Feast of San Gennaro/Little Italy: In its 93rd year, the celebration of the patron saint of Naples will fill the streets of Little Italy with carnival games, parades, live music and more food than one could possibly imagine. In addition to vendors in town specifically for the festival, most of the local eateries will be set up to serve the dishes that put Little Italy on the map.
  • Smorgasburg/East River State Park: At this massive grub hub, there’s only one rule: Come hungry. The Brooklyn Flea spin-off draws more than 20,000 to 30,000 visitors per week, with a slew of 75 to 100 incredible food vendors doling out everything from Dutch waffles to pasta doughnuts.
  • Photoville/Brooklyn Bridge Park: Come for the finest outdoor display of photography in New York City. Stay for the beer, family fun and people.

Hudson's Lousy Holiday Spectacle

Hudson’s lousy holiday spectacle for 2017 exceeds expectations in reverse. In 2019, we asked, “$75,000 for that?” Two years later, it’s WTF? That’s as clear as we can make it, suitable for all ages.
