7 Things Your Friends in the Hamptons Can’t Do

Not only does this city not sleep, it doesn’t shut down in the summer, either. Lucky you — you’re here!

Hamptons, schmamptons! You know where it’s all happening this summer? NYC, baby! The city is hosting some one-of-a-kind art exhibits and happenings that are perfect for fun and super cool family outings. From dance parties and awesome sculptures to a room filled with balloons and beyond, you and the kids can hit up some amazing, ultra Instagram-worthy spots before school starts, no soul-crushing LIRR trip required. Click through to start planning!

The Keeper

Some people call it "collecting"; others, "preserving", still more — "hoarding." The New Museum considers the amassing of similar items, be they art, objects or images, from all angles in its new exhibit, The Keepers. On display are groups from the mundane to the massive, such a string figures, rare stones, scrapbooks and more, highlighting the highly subjective nature of what is valuable and worth preserving. While the exhibit is spread over four floors, the anchor of the show is Partners (The Teddy Bear Project) (2002), a mind-bogglingly large display conceived by Ydessa Hendeles that includes 3,000 family album photos of people posing with teddy bears, as well as multiple antique teddy bears.
