The pop-up phenomenon

The pop-up phenomenon seems to be blooming in New York City. The latest installation at the Openhouse Gallery is a public indoor park complete with benches and faux grassy knolls designed by decorators American Foliage. The park will feature all the essentials to fool you into thinking it’s already summer, including lunch-break yoga classes, movies on the lawn, and lobster rolls from Luke’s Lobster on weekends. (201 Mulberry St., near Kenmare St.; 1/7–1/30; 11 a.m.–6 p.m. daily; free).

Seems like a good week to check it out and forget about the cold dreary winter weather outside, at least for  a little while. See you there!
