[WATCH] New York City's Largest Street Art Mural Unveiled in West Village

Covering 20,000 square feet on the side of City-As-School High School in the West Village, this recently-unveiled mural is now New York City's largest. Painted by renowned street artists Magda Love and Eduardo Kobra alongside students from the school, the colorful mural has been in the works for over two and a half years.

The largest mural in New York City was unveiled Monday, a project in the works for more than two and a half years. It wasn't the painting that took so long, it was getting the permits. And now, the mural is bringing artists and high school students together in the West Village.

"The Scorpion Gesture", November 2018's Midnight Moment in Times Square

Times Square's Midnight Moment is an art initiative by Times Square Arts in which all of the billboards in Times Square synchronize to show an audio/visual art piece at exactly 11:57pm everyday for 3 minutes.

This month's Midnight Moment is a collection of video art called 'The Scorpion Gesture' from Brooklyn artist Chitra Ganesh which is "a rich and colorful phantasmagoria that plays in the intersections of myth and science fiction."

The Scorpion Gesture explores bodies, space, history, and mythologies through disparate visual languages, inviting viewers to seek and consider alternate narratives of sexuality and power — and the untold stories always trying to rise to the surface. The work interweaves elements of five animated narratives that Ganesh created as interventions in the Rubin Museum of Art’s collection galleries, working with animation company the STUDIO NYC to realize her ideas in their fullest form. These animated interventions seek to illuminate and further activate paintings, sculptures, and stories drawn from the life of Padmasambhava, known in Tibetan mythology as The Second Buddha, a figure prophesied to appear in future avatars over the course of millennia at moments when the world stands poised to be consumed by conflict and apocalyptic struggle. With The Scorpion Gesture, Ganesh connects those stories to her view of our contemporary, fraught relationship with technology and politics.

[VIDEO] This Greenwich Village Cheese Shop Makes NYC's Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Since 1940, Murray's Cheese on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village has sold, and (more recently) created/aged New York City's finest cheese. A few years ago, they opened Murray's Cheese Bar on the same block where they sell all types of cheesy, gooey dishes including a sandwich which is consistently rated as "New York City's best." See why their grilled cheese sandwich is better than the rest in this video from our friends at Insider.

Murray's Cheese in NYC makes the Murray's Melt, which has been consistently named NYC's best grilled cheese sandwich. The sandwich is made with a combination of three different cheeses. Murray's is also known for having the best cheese products, and the secret lies in its cheese caves in Long Island City. Murray’s ages its cheeses in four different rooms so that customers get to purchase them at peak ripeness.
