Bond Street shopping, MoMa sights, Greenwich Village wine bars, more NYC events

Each week, Alexa is rounding up the buzziest fashion awards, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and popular cultural events in NYC. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, buy, taste and experience around town.

What’s making our luxury list this week? A luxury multi-brand Italian boutique opens on Bond Street, new paintings by Alex Katz debut at MoMA and Arc’teryx presents a new collection designed by an indigenous artist.

Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of LuisaViaRoma. Here’s everything you need to know: It’s a multi-brand luxury and home store, stocked with names like Chloé, Maison Margiela, Jil Sander and Lanvin as well as New York designers Gabriela Hearst, Proenza Schouler and Helmut Lang. All under one roof. The original boutique is in Florence, Italy, and their New York City location just opened at 1 Bond Street. Spanning over 11,000 square feet over two floors, it includes private shopping, a “discrete VIP entrance” and is just a block away from Il Buco, where you can toast your purchases. LuisaViaRoma.com

Arc’teryx has just debuted Walk Greatly, a design platform for Indigenous voices. It is the vision of artist and designer Cole Sparrow-Crawford, of the Musqueam Nation in the Coast Salish territories. The seven-piece collection, inspired by traditional indigenous fishing, canoeing and harvesting practices, includes shorts, jacket, hat, jacket, backpack, blanket and shoe patterns (some include Coast Salish weaving and ancestral design patterns ). The shorts and tops in particular evoke “the living, beautiful and sacred cedar tree and are meant to support the canoe pullers as they take to the water,” noted Sparrow-Crawford. Proceeds from this collection will support indigenous women in nature. Available at Arc’teryx stores and Arc’teryx.com.

Alex Katz has obviously been very busy. The renowned painter created over 100 new works in the past two years that are now on display at the Museum of Modern Art in the Donald and Catherine Marron Family Atrium. “Alex Katz: The Seasons” features landscapes in New York and Lincolnville, Maine, and includes four monumental works (one for each season) ranging in size from ten to twenty feet tall. “The sense of color is what I wanted. The sense of seeing,” Katz said of the works, which will be on display through Sept. 8 at MoMA.org

Attention Parcelle fans: your favorite wine bar now has a second location, on MacDougal Street, near NYU. This new location, however, is deliberately not a carbon copy of their Chinatown post office. It’s decorated with vintage Italian, French and Scandinavian pieces and has a selection of over 500 bottles that “range from esoteric natural wines to old and rare Burgundy and Bordeaux.” For those not familiar with Parcelle, a bonus sip here is that they’re also a wine retailer, so you can keep track of what you’ve drunk, or want to try, and order next time or buy it online.

“Suchitra Mattai: We Are Nomads, We Are Dreamers” is the artist’s first solo show in New York City, drawing on “themes of identity, migration and memory.” It is currently on view at the Socrates Sculpture Park, in a wonderful location on the banks of the East River, and features a series of large living sculptures made from vintage saris collected by women of the South Asian diaspora. Mattai also created a series of seven smaller sculptures that hang from trees in a grove on the property, as well as a 30-meter collage billboard. Through August 25 at SocratesSculpturePark.org
