Things that make you go "Ooooo:" @lmcc_nyc's annua

Things that make you go "Ooooo:" @lmcc_nyc's annual summer festival, River to River 2020: Four Voices, kicked off this month in Lower Manhattan with socially distanced free-to-the-public art viewings across the entire district.⁣ 🎨
⁣
Shown here are conceptual installations "Floating MAIZE" and "The Last Straw" by artist @jean.shin at @bfplny. The pieces' core message is to reflect on our collective use of plastic and its overall effect on the world. ⁣
⁣
Head over to the @seaportdistrict.nyc to find @asiyawadud's "ECHO EXHIBIT" project, where locals' words about NY are transcribed into poetic verse and framed in storefront windows. ⁣
⁣
Finally, visit LMCC's official page (link in bio) for upcoming August exhibit launches by @themunamalik and @monachalabi ⁣

Our 'Portraits From The Pandemic' series continues

Our 'Portraits From The Pandemic' series continues with new stories of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted New Yorkers have been told and retold. They form a shared history of how lives have changed during this unprecedented time (and we’ve been happy to help document some of them).⁣
⁣
Krit “Ahm” Sukarom has been the manager at @KuuRamen (20 John Street) for more than five years. He’s used to chatting with customers amid the noise and bustle at the extremely popular ramen joint, which has been listed in Tripadvisor’s Top 10 NYC Japanese Restaurants for several years running (and currently sits at #2). But times have changed.⁣
⁣
“We used to serve 400 or 500 people a day, now it’s maybe 100,” he told the Downtown Alliance. “We used to have six or seven employees working a day, now we have two."⁣
⁣
Despite the grim moment that Kuu is combating, Sukarom is quick to point out that it won’t stop their lean operation from packing up flavorful servings of ramen takeout for the neighborhood. And the patrons reciprocate with conscientiousness and courtesy.⁣
⁣
“New Yorkers are really trying,” he said. “When they see people in the restaurant, they will wait outside. They are careful.” ⁣
⁣
Read more about Ahm's experience (link in bio).
