Surely by now you have heard of the world's first underground park coming soon to Brooklyn's abandoned Delancey trolley terminal: the recently city-approved Lowline. Come and meet the design & engineering folks behind the ambitious endeavor and learn more about the innovative design, research, and planning that's expected to give new life to one of NYC's most impressive spaces.

Part II: Manifesto Series: In Our Time – The Sharing Movement | July 19, recommended by Nicholas Korody

The Manifesto Series is a two-part event that focuses on the so-called "sharing movement," which is "increasingly influencing the exchange of goods, data, images, services, and spaces of residence and work." With a great list of contributing participants, it's a night that should be edifying and engaging. Head down to the Storefront for Art and Architecture early to make sure you get a seat!

Sharing Models: Manhattanisms | Open now until September 2, recommended by Paul Petrunia

This event opened last week at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, and somehow flew under our NYC weekly roundup radar. It's open until September 2nd, so it's not too late! Manhattanisms asks the question, "How will the sharing movement of today affect the way we inhabit and build the cities of tomorrow?" To answer this question, the exhibition invites 30 international architects to produce models of their own visions for the city’s future.

Artistic Furniture of the Gilded Age | Open now until January 31, 2017, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg

Curious about the closeted lives of the most fabulously wealthy industrialists of mid-19th century America? Come see one of the era's most opulent dressing rooms, custom-designed by George A. Schastey for the ruling train tycoons and oil barons of the day. Then grab some lunch and think about eating the rich.

Also keep track of our weekly event picks for Los Angeles and London.
