Even the dog days of summer have a certain appeal in NYC.
WHEN THE MERCURY edges past 90 degrees and the sidewalk seems to liquefy, some New Yorkers flee to indoor oases for culinary, cultural and other fun activities, while others, who really do “like it hot,” find plenty to do alfresco.
MOVIES, MUSIC AND MOONLIGHT
Why go to the multiplex when you can have your movie stars with celestial stars and sprinklings of fireflies, too? The NYC Parks Department’s Free Summer Movies program offers showings on piers and in parks all over the city. August selections include “The Black Panther” (Aug. 1, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens) and “The Jackie Robinson Story (Aug. 3, Jackie Robinson Park, Manhattan).

Trompe L'Oeil Triumphant
Early works by Stephen Posen (b. 1939)—New York-based artist and, incidentally, father of fashion designer Zac Posen—are on display in “Threads: Paintings From the 1960s and ’70s,” an ambitious two-part exhibition at Vito Schnabel Projects (thru June 23, this page) and its sister gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland (July 28–Sept. 2). “Untitled” (detail, left), a large-scale, photorealist painting of cloth-covered boxes from 1970, has never been publicly shown in New York until now.
