“BUT WE’RE NOT EVEN JEWISH!!!” A little girl shrieks at her mother at the edge of the entrance to the Isaac Mizrahi: An Unruly History exhibit.

The end of the 2015-16 season marked the retirement of three big names in the NBA: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett. All of these players spent two decades (or close to) in the NBA, and there is no doubt the league will be different without them. For most of the 2000s, the NBA…

The Tony Award winning production, which continues to reign at the Majestic Theatre of Times Square, has been performed well over 10,000 times and the afternoon show I attended emulated just that: a perfect…
ABC’s hit series, “Quantico,” concluded its first season Sunday night. “Quantico” revolves around top-of-her-class Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) trainee Alex Parrish, played by renowned Bollywood actress and model Priyanka Chopra.
