Horizon of Khufu: An Immersive VR Expedition to Ancient Egypt

This October, New Yorkers and visitors alike will have the chance to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through time with Horizon of Khufu, an immersive virtual reality experience that has already captivated audiences in London, Paris, and Atlanta. Now making its highly anticipated debut in New York City, this cutting-edge expedition invites participants to explore the intrigue of Ancient Egypt in the heart of Manhattan.

Guests will be transported to the Great Pyramid of Giza—one of the world's seven wonders—where they can unravel the enigmatic history of the Pharaohs. This immersive experience offers an unparalleled cultural exploration through state-of-the-art technology. This adventure through time was brought to New York by innovative virtual reality entertainment company Eclipso and will be held at its newly opened flagship location in Hell’s Kitchen. Powered by the advanced production, technology, and content of international virtual reality leaders, Excurio’s Immersive Expeditions, Horizon of Khufu is poised to become a must-visit attraction for both locals and tourists. The experience promises a captivating journey that merges the past with the future.

“Horizon of Khufu is not just an experience; it’s a portal into one of history’s most fascinating civilizations,” said Antoine Lieutaud, CEO of Eclipso. “Launching in New York City represents a pivotal moment for us as we continue to push the boundaries of immersive entertainment. Our goal is to blend cutting-edge technology with rich storytelling to create a transformative experience for every visitor.”

Spanning 11,000 square feet of interactive space, this 45-minute expedition invites guests aged eight and up to delve into the wonders of Ancient Egypt. From navigating the intricate tombs of Pharaoh Khufu to witnessing the majestic Giza Necropolis, participants will journey across the Nile, attend mummification ceremonies, and experience the grandeur of King Khufu’s final rites. Equipped with a

VR headset, visitors will roam freely, fully immersed in this vividly recreated world. “What sets Horizon of Khufu apart is its ability to engage large groups in a shared, yet personalized, virtual reality adventure,” said Fabien Barati, CEO of Excurio. “Our platform allows for real-time interaction and exploration, creating a dynamic experience that evolves with the movements of each participant.”

Following its success in Europe, Eclipso made its U.S. debut in Atlanta earlier this year, garnering widespread acclaim. Now, with over 600,000 visitors globally, Horizon of Khufu is ready to enchant New Yorkers with its extraordinary blend of history and technology.

Excurio consulted with renowned Egyptologist Dr. Peter Der Manuelian of Harvard University’s Giza Archives Project to develop the content for Horizon of Khufu, which meticulously recreates an ancient world with historical accuracy, providing a true-to-life glimpse into Egypt’s past.

Located at Eclipso Centre, 555 W 57th Street, New York, NY, Horizon of Khufu will be open Tuesday through Sunday with varying hours. Tickets are now available at

After successfully debuting an interactive virtual reality journey to Ancient Egypt with Horizon of Khufu, Eclipso is adding a second immersive virtual reality experience at their New York City Flagship: Tonight with the Impressionists. Created by Excurio in collaboration with the renowned Musée d’Orsay in Paris and in honor of the 150th anniversary of the first-ever Impressionist exhibition, Tonight with the Impressionists, takes visitors back to 1874 to experience this historical event firsthand and meet the painters, including Monet, Renoir, Morisot, and Degas. Tonight with the Impressionists will open to the public on December 13, 2024, at the Eclipso Center in New York.

This 45-minute journey transports guests back to April 15, 1874, when a group of artists broke away from traditional academic painting, focusing instead on capturing light, color, and atmosphere in new ways. Known as the Impressionists—Monet, Renoir, Morisot, Degas, and others—they depicted everyday life and outdoor scenes with spontaneous brushstrokes and vibrant colors.

“Building on the well-received opening of Horizon of Khufu in New York, the newest expedition allows visitors to experience one of the most pivotal moments in art history,” said Antoine Lieutaud, CEO of Eclipso. “It’s more than just a glimpse into the past; it's an invitation to experience the passion, vision, and spirit of the artists who forever changed the art world, all through virtual reality.”

Following its success in France and Atlanta, Tonight with the Impressionists is set to captivate a broad audience of art and history enthusiasts. Inside the 11,000-square-foot space, guests will be virtually transported to the streets of 19th-century Paris to meet the artists behind the paintings and experience key moments that defined the Impressionist movement. These include Bazille’s studio, Monet and Renoir’s Grenouillère, and Monet’s Le Havre, where Impression, Sunrise was created. 

This experience is the result of over two years of research and collaboration with Excurio, GEDEON Experiences, and the Musée d’Orsay, based on an original idea and original historical reconstructions by GEDEON Experiences. With historically accurate recreations curated by Sylvie Patry (General Curator of Heritage / Artistic Director, Mennour Gallery) and Anne Robbins (Curator of Paintings, Musée d’Orsay), it brings to life the era where these iconic works were born.

The Tonight With The Impressionists, Paris 1874, Immersive Experience’s debut in NYC comes alongside the National Gallery of Art’s current exhibition, “Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment,” open until January 19, 2025, in Washington D.C. 

“Our partnership with the Musée d’Orsay and GEDEON Experiences allowed us to authentically recreate this defining moment in art history,” said Fabien Barati, CEO of Excurio, the production company behind virtual reality experiences proposed in the Eclipso Centres. “Tonight with the Impressionist offers a unique opportunity to step into the world where these iconic works were created, bringing an extraordinary moment to life, in a way that resonates with audiences today.” 

“This experience offers a journey through time and invites visitors from all over the world to experience the emotions that inspired the painters, particularly in two well-known regions of France, Normandy, and the Paris region,” says Stéphane Millière, CEO of GEDEON Experiences.

After its NYC debut with Horizon of Khufu in October 2024, Eclipso has quickly gained recognition for delivering unique cultural experiences through advanced technology.

Tonight with the Impressionists, Paris 1874 opens on December 13, 2024, at 555 W 57th Street, New York, NY, and will be open Tuesday – Friday 12pm – 8pm, Saturday 10am – 9pm, and Sunday 10am – 8pm.

Pig Island NYC 2025

Pig Island NYC 2025

Food Karma Project’s Pig Island NYC™ earned the title of ‘Best of the Fests’ at the Third Annual 8it Awards. 

The Staten Island festival that transforms Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden into an all-inclusive, all-you-can-feast picnic won out over top food festivals like Queens Night Market and BagelFest. Now in its 16th year and still breaking ground every season, Pig Island NYC™ pairs local farms and heritage meat producers with both award-winning and rising star chefs. The festival is where chefs and farms have the opportunity to show off exceptional ingredients and skills and celebrate traditional BBQ and global flavors.

“We’re thrilled to win the ‘Best in the Fests’ Award. Just being nominated alongside truly amazing festivals is an honor," said Jimmy Carbone, Pig Island NYC™ founder. “We've created something special in Staten Island," he continues. “Snug Harbor is a Smithsonian affiliate and the most beautiful place in New York City. It’s an amazing place for outdoor cooking and a big draw for the chefs and restaurants who come from all over the country to participate in Pig Island NYC™ every year.”

2024’s Pig Island NYC™ brought together Chicago’s Phil Wingo and the ‘Pork Mafia’ Team with Connecticut’s Radical Roots farm, firing up a 1,000-gallon offset smoker from J&R Manufacturing in Texas. Tank Jackson and his Holy City Hogs joined from South Carolina and New York City’s own Christine Espinal Rosa and Blue Smoke made a final public appearance before shuttering at the end of the year.

Every year, Pig Island NYC™ has also served as an incubator for emerging talent. 2024 was no exception as up-and-coming New York chefs Francis Maling and Kevin Morgan teamed up with Mike’s Hot Honey and Busch’s Beans. Lines for their ribs—and the bean bucket hats merch—stretched well into the festival crowd. 

"Winning an award from 8it is especially significant to us,” says Carbone. “8it is all about finding what's next in food and recognizing what’s really, really good, just like we are."

Tickets are now on sale for 2025’s Pig Island NYC™ at pigisland.com, with special VIP Packages and Kick Off Pricing Tickets available. 

This year’s Pig Island NYC™ will take place on Saturday, September 6, once again pairing rising star and award-winning chefs with local farms and heritage meat producers. There will be exclusive Pig Island NYC™ collaborations, plant-based selections from the vegetable grilling station, hard cider, wine, spirits, and craft beer, and hot sauces from Sauce King NYC™ award winners.

Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF)
Jul
31
to Aug 10

Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF)

The 48th edition of the Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF), presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), will run from July 31 to August 10, 2025, with screenings, panels, and community events held across New York City and online.

AAIFF is the nation’s first and longest-running film festival dedicated to works by and about Asians and Asian Americans. Since 1978, the festival has been a platform for diaspora storytelling, identity exploration, and bold artistic experimentation, building a legacy that continues to thrive across generations.

For its 48th edition, AAIFF will honor the beauty of repair and transformation — examine how personal and collective fractures can be reassembled into something stronger and more radiant than before. Drawing inspiration from Kintsugi — the Japanese art of mending broken ceramics with gold, this year’s theme asks how storytelling, dreaming, and creation can guide the community through rupture into renewal. It’s a celebration of resilience, imagination, and the radical act of envisioning a future shaped by the truths of the past.

This year marks a major milestone — the 50th anniversary of Asian CineVision, the nonprofit behind AAIFF. To commemorate this legacy, AAIFF48 will showcase special presentations including ACV 50 Retrospective Screening – Fruit Fly and Captain America: Albert Pyun Cut. Additional tributes, filmmaker panels, and community events will be announced in the coming weeks.

“On the 50th anniversary of our organization, AAIFF is harkening back to our underground origins by highlighting scrappy young AAPI filmmakers from New York and beyond. We are also showcasing a legacy of unsung and "sung" indies in our special presentations of Albert Pyun's recently unthawed Captain America director's cut and festival alum H.P. Mendoza's 2009 musical Fruit Fly. We hope to continue being NYC's number one festival for nurturing and celebrating the next generation of Asian American and Pacific Islander filmmakers” – Kris Montello, AAIFF Programming Director

Enjoy Lobster Newberg at Delmonico’s - NYC

Delmonico's, America’s first fine-dining restaurant, established in 1837, is a cornerstone of American dining and a pioneer in the restaurant industry, and is known for its innovative cuisine.. The historic restaurant is credited with introducing several iconic dishes to the culinary world, including the Delmonico Steak, Baked Alaska, Eggs Benedict, and the famous Lobster Newberg. A rich and creamy lobster dish, today’s version is prepared with cognac, tarragon, lobster coral, and charred sticky rice.

This historic dish originally appeared on Delmonico’s menu in 1876 as “Lobster a la Wenberg.” The now-famous dish was created by Captain Ben Wenberg. After Wenberg discussed his creation with Charles Delmonico, Delmonico was so intrigued that he brought a chafing dish tableside and asked Wenberg to prepare the dish on the spot. Later, the story goes, Delmonico and Wenberg had a falling out, but by then the dish was a favorite, so it remained on the menu under a new name: Delmonico quietly rearranged the letters to make it Lobster Newberg.

Lobster Bakes and Lobster Rolls 3-Way at Claudio's Waterfront -  Greenport, NY (East End)

For a more casual, by-the-water experience outside of Manhattan, Claudio's Waterfront on Long Island’s East End offers a charming and relaxed atmosphere right on the shores of Greenport, NY, where history meets the scenic beauty of Long Island. Established in 1870, Claudio's is not just a place to enjoy a meal; it is a beloved institution that has welcomed generations of visitors from NYC and beyond. This summer, Claudio's features a traditional summer Lobster Bake every Monday and also on National Lobster Day (June 15), which coincides with Father’s Day, serving freshly caught 1.5lb lobsters steamed to perfection alongside corn on the cob and coleslaw for $59.

And no visit to Claudio's would be complete without enjoying their famous lobster roll selection—the waterfront restaurant offers Lobster Rolls three ways: Connecticut with warm, butter-poached lobster; Maine with chilled lobster salad, fresh herbs, and lemon aioli; and Cajun style with chilled lobster salad, lemon aioli, and Cajun spices.

 Celebrating our 20th Anniversary

New York City’s premier annual Jazz Age Lawn Party celebrates 20 years on Governors Island this summer and announces today that ticket  are live at https://jazzagelawnparty.com and available exclusively through Fever, the leading global live- entertainment discovery platform. Every summer for two decades, Jazz Age Lawn Party has awoken the vibrations of a timeless zeitgeist.

The vibrant optimism and inventiveness of Jazz Age culture and its living legacy continue to resonate with generation after generation. 

Governors Island becomes the backdrop for this cultural phenomenon. This trip through time begins with a breezy ride aboard a ferry boat with breathtaking views of Manhattan and Lady Liberty en route to NYC’s hidden gem, Governors Island. Once ashore, a sprawling green awaits, nestled under a canopy of century-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, surrounded by historic architecture—a dream where the clock stops, nestled right in the heart of New York Harbor.

The festival will offer VIP picnic baskets with curated items from Taste France Magazine, a premium bar featuring a variety of wines and ice cold cocktails and gourmet food trucks. Cocktails will be provided by Brooklyn’s very own Social Hour - a line of canned craft cocktails founded by bartending veterans Julie Reiner and Tom Macy. Sip on the delightfully fizzy G&T made with New York Distilling Company’s Dorothy Parker Gin, or the Pacific Spritz made with a combination of house made Italian aperitivo and rosé wine; for whiskey lovers the fiery Whiskey Mule made with New York Distilling Company’s Ragtime Rye will be sure to please.

Widely anticipated by flappers, sporting gents and tiny tots alike, the event has been revered year after year by a wide array of families, locals, and tourists.

Event Details:

  • WHAT: Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen and Andrea Patterson

  • WHEN: Wednesday, June 4, 2025 | 7:00 PM (Doors at 6:30 PM)

  • WHERE: Harlem School of the Arts, Dorothy Maynor Hall

  • ADDRESS: 645 Saint Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10030

Audiences will enjoy a 45-minute live interview, audience Q&A, and special musical interludes from Taharqa. The event will be recorded for future broadcast on Northeast Public Radio and additional public radio stations nationwide.

“Storytelling is at the heart of what we do at CTH,” said Ty Jones, Producing Artistic Director of The Classical Theatre of Harlem. “Whether it’s on stage in a full-scale production, in the classroom with our youth programming, or through intimate conversations like Person Place Thing, we are committed to uplifting voices, preserving cultural legacy, and sparking dialogue that resonates beyond the performance. Events like this allow us to explore the artistic journey behind the scenes and remind us that every artist, like every character, has a story worth telling.”

“This collaboration with Randy Cohen offers our audiences a unique chance to hear from Andrea Patterson—not only as a performer but as a person. It’s the perfect prelude to her powerful performance in MEMNON this summer.”

A Year Ahead of Discovery and Celebration

The 2025 season marks an important milestone for The Classical Theatre of Harlem, as it continues to build on its mission of bringing new voices, stories, and perspectives to the forefront of American theatre. The organization is committed to providing a platform for artists of color and engaging with the Harlem community in meaningful ways.

East Coast Debut of MEMNON

CTH is proud to bring MEMNON, a powerful new work that explores the intersection of mythology, identity, and legacy, to New York audiences. After a successful run at The Getty Villa in Los Angeles, this groundbreaking production will make its New York Premiere with CTH in the summer of 2025. Written by celebrated playwright Will Power and directed by CTH’s own Carl Cofield, MEMNON brings to life the story of Ethiopia’s powerful king as he answers the call to defend Troy. This Homeric episode, once a staple of the ancient Greek and Roman epic tradition, had been forgotten—until now. Weaving a narrative that is at once epic and intimate, MEMNON tells the story of a man caught between past and present, myth and reality. With its striking visuals and poignant performances, MEMNON promises to be a landmark production for the CTH stage. The performance will be held July 5th through 27th, 2025.
