The pretty little Barclay's Capital Grove provides much appreciated shade in the summer, and is a great quiet spot to enjoy a snack with a friend, or sit and read. Should we go on? There's the parabolic Illumination Lawn, NYC's most unique picnic and sunning "field", which sits on the roof of one of NYC's most elegant restaurants, Lincoln (above). Lincoln Center's regularly-scheduled cultural programming is as strong as ever, with first-rate entertainment coming from the likes of the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and the New York City Ballet, as well as such offerings as the acclaimed Warhorse at the Lincoln Center Theater, and first-run indie films and documentaries at the brand new and extremely comfortable Elinor Bunin Monroe Film Center. Not to mention: cafe-style seating, the coolest fountain in Manhattan, AND one of the best gelato stands in town. In fact, the redesign and renovation of the entire Lincoln Center complex has been a spectacular success as far as we're concerned, transforming what was a once a somewhat forbidding, definitely exclusive enclave into a great Upper West Side public space, welcoming the neighborhood not only with the usual slate of Lincoln Center's world-class high-culture programs, but also with a host of interesting and free outdoor events, movies, and festivals.
