Tour of Gracie Mansion

2017-08-01T00:00:00.000

11:00

11:50

<p>In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York&nbsp;City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home&nbsp;would be serving&nbsp;as the official residence of the First Family of New York City&mdash;a place where history is made, not merely recorded.</p><p>As a historic house museum run by NYC Parks, sitting on&nbsp;11 acres of grounds now known as&nbsp;Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor&nbsp;Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942.&nbsp;Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its&nbsp;doors in the spirit of the administration&#39;s motto: one city, rising together.</p><p>In celebration of our&nbsp;75th Anniversary of Gracie being a mayoral residence, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;New York 1942. This is the second in a series of installations envisioning New York through the framework of Gracie Mansion as it has been inhabited over time. It includes artwork, documents and objects from the period that the La Guardias lived in Gracie, shown together to tell a more complete story of the overall historic context as perceived from diverse perspectives.</p><p><strong>Tour Reservations</strong></p><p>To RSVP for a tour, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://on.nyc.gov/gracietour">on.nyc.gov/gracietour</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, Gracie Mansion is not offering group tours.&nbsp;If you are part of a private organization that would like to tour the house, please email your request, including the size of group, your name and the purpose of a tour, to&nbsp;gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov&nbsp;and we will work to add you to one of the currently scheduled tours.</p><p>Photo ID required for entrance. No photography permitted in the interior. At the present time, tours are available in English only. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes in advance.</p>

Gracie Mansion Conservancy presents New York 1942. Our newest installation marking the 75th Anniversary of Gracie Mansion as the official mayoral residence.

Hudson Warehouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest

20:30

<p> <span class="title">Hudson Warehouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest</span><span> by Oscar Wilde</span>, Directed by <span class="dir">Nicholas Martin-Smith</span></p><p> A farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious person&aelig; in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play&#39;s major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.</p><p> The mission of Hudson Warehouse is to present the classics in exciting productions inspired by our past and relevant to our present day. We want to educate the novice and enthrall the well-versed. We embrace the traditional and innovative, the classical and the modern classic. Through the dedication, passion and intelligence of all our theater artists, we bring these works to life. When our work elicits a true emotional response from an audience member, this experience reaffirms that theatre is a &quot;ware&quot; that is essential to daily life.</p>

<p> In&nbsp;<em>In Another Country,&nbsp;</em>French actress Isabelle Huppert stars (three times!) in this comedy/drama &ndash; a triptych set in a Korean seaside town. Huppert plays three different Annes &ndash; a successful film director on holiday with a Korean director and his wife; a married woman having an affair with a Korean man; and a recent divorc&eacute;e whose husband left her for a Korean woman. Three breezy tales of love, lust, and misunderstandings, all peppered by the dimly jovial propositions of one persistent lifeguard.&nbsp;</p><p> Outdoor Cinema is an annual international festival of open-air cinema, music, dance, and food. &nbsp;It<span style="font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;includes eight weeks of films at Socrates Sculpture Park, taking place on Wednesday evenings through August 21. The festival kicks off on July 3rd with a new American film to welcome Independence Day weekend: Our Nixon, a feature-length documentary directed by Penny Lane, first debuted in March at SXSW and to be released in theaters in July 2013. Outdoor Cinema 2013 features eight international titles from Chad, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Mexico, Romania, South Korea, Turkey, and the United States.</span></p><div> <span style="font-size: 12px;">In addition to the films, which are presented in their original language (with English subtitles), each evening will feature regional cuisine from neighborhood restaurants and performances by local musicians and dancers that celebrate the culture of the film. Pre-screening performances begin at 7:00pm and films begin at sunset (weather permitting). &nbsp;From 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m., we will also offer free sunset paddling sessions from the Socrates Sculpture Park beach at Hallets Cove, just north of the park.</span></div><div></div><div> Admission is free, and the evening&rsquo;s food and performance line-up is announced the week prior.</div><p></p>

Socrates Sculpture Park and AT&T present "Outdoor Cinema 2013," an eight-week international festival of films, performance and food, in partnership with Film Forum and Rooftop Films.
