NYC Summering: 5 Places to Reset In & Around the City
Summer in New York is thrilling and high-energy—but it’s also a season to slow down, recalibrate, and reconnect with what grounds you. Curated by and for our community, here are five places to reset your skin, senses, and spirit in and around the city this season.

Amy Sherald — American Sublime at the Whitney, Meatpacking
Amy Sherald is a storyteller. She creates precisely crafted narratives of American life, selecting, styling, and photographing her sitters as the foundation for her nuanced paintings. Thus, while Sherald (b. 1973; Columbus, Georgia) bases her works on specific people, they are more than traditional portraits. They center everyday Black Americans, compelling in their individuality and extraordinary in their ordinariness, inviting viewers to step into Sherald’s imagined worlds. In this exhibition, paintings of such ordinary Americans join her iconic portraits of First Lady Michelle Obama and, heartbreakingly, Breonna Taylor, to produce a resonant ode to the multiplicity and complexity of American identity. On view through August 10.
