Installation artist Risa Puno puts the audience in a series of "escape rooms" that they can only get out of by solving a series of puzzles. But over the course of the event, the rules start subtly changing, revealing (SPOILER ALERT) truths about social inquality. Another event whose entire run sold out virtually as soon as it was announced; as usual, look for cancellations.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Let's keep the social inequality thing going. Evenings, the wealthy or profligate can go to the new highly-seasonal French/Japanese fusion place, Shun. Those of more modest means -- or greater frugality -- can go to the Bar Room at The Modern (which remains open during the closure of MoMA, in which it's housed). Lunch, the blow-out crowd can go to The Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel. Everyone else can go to the Halal Guys cart.
