Arty farty stuff to do in new york

Hi.
I will be in NY city for around 10 days from 16 August.

Any thoughts on some fun things to do and see.

I like art/contemporary/street/jazz

Any festivals on at this time?

movies/ including night cinema

Also good vege/vegan restaurants, as I am headed this way in my food choices/ethics.

Thanks :)

What do you mean when you say you like street? In any case, there's no shortage of streets in New York.

Similarly, I don't get "night cinema". All the movie houses in NY are open at night.

If you go the noguchi you might want to see PS 1 also.

There are lots of websites with vegan/vegetarian restaurants sorted by neighborhood etc.
