In recognition of World AIDS Day (which takes place tomorrow, December 1), the NYC AIDS Memorial in conjunction with Jenny Holzer will host #LightTheFight.

Holzer – a New York based neo-conceptual artist – might be best known for her Protect Project exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art since it focuses on her work of more than a decade and a half.

At tomorrow’s event, Holzer will be starting the day with an interactive ceremony and performance beginning at 4.30am at the city’s AIDS Memorial Park, West Village.

Also featuring at the event will be Lewis Miller who was behind the creation of The Flower Flash.  He will be installing a Flower flash at the fountain tomorrow.

Following that, next on the agenda will see five trucks in a fleet coming with LED signs through the city displaying quotes related to how the world battles AIDS globally, and the impact it has had historically. These quotes have been taken from the emotional expression of various artists impacted by HIV and AIDS .

Thanksgiving has pretty much become synonymous with Macy’s.  At least in New York city.  So for those privileged enough to be in the Big Apple tomorrow, make the most of it and go check out the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Starting at 77^th Street and Central Park, the parade then heads down to Macy’s Herald Square via 34^th Street.

Featuring classics such as Diana Ross, country music singer Kane Brown, there will be special performances from The Today Show team. Singer-songwriters include: John Legend, Ella Mai and Jack & Jack among others.

It’s a real family day with huge balloons, floats, marching bands and so much more.  Getting into the Thanksgiving spirit in New York City is the way to go!

Marking two decades in the business of making beautiful music, ETHEL is in New York for your audible delight today (until November 17^th).  Tickets for the concert held in Brooklyn at the BAM Harvey Theater on Fulton Street start at just $25.

The New York based string quartet since its inception in the late 1990s seeks to “build connection and community through innovative collaborations [and] multi-media production and recordings.”

There is always a lot going on in New York, but somehow there is something a little bit extra magical about the fall.  Especially for those who love the outdoors which is why we recommend a visit to the New York Botanical Garden.  There, you will be privy to the World of Plants event, “featuring lush tropical rain forests, cactus-filled deserts, curated displays of palms from around the world, aquatic and carnivorous plants, and much more.”  This Botanical garden is one of the world’s “greatest botanical gardens,” with an educational program for children being touted as a “pioneer in innovative, informal science discovery facilities and activities; and its scientific research on plants and fungi is unmatched in scale, depth, and authority.”
