As a resident of 555TEN, where attention to detail and luxury is evident in every aspect of the building, you have access to a wealth of cultural experiences. One such experience is the chance to explore the fascinating world of fashion at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Just as 555TEN’s residences showcase the best in modern living, this acclaimed institution offers a unique perspective on the art and history of clothing design through its extensive collection and engaging exhibitions.

The Museum at FIT, founded in 1969 as the Design Laboratory, has grown from its initial role of supporting the educational programs at FIT to become a leading institution in the world of fashion. The museum began presenting exhibitions in the 1970s, initially relying on a collection on long-term loan from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Over the years, it has acquired its own collection, which includes garments and accessories as well as a vast array of textiles and other fashion-related materials.

The Museum at FIT’s collections are a testament to its dedication to preserving and showcasing the history and artistry of fashion. The permanent collection boasts over 50,000 garments and accessories, spanning from the 18th century to the present day, with a strong emphasis on modern and contemporary women’s fashion. The museum proudly displays works by some of the most influential names in fashion history, such as Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and avant-garde designers like Rei Kawakubo and Rick Owens. The accessories collection is equally impressive, featuring approximately 15,000 objects, including more than 4,000 pairs of shoes and 3,000 hats. The textile collection is a treasure trove of over 30,000 pieces, ranging from the fifth century to the present, showcasing the works of renowned artists and designers, such as William Morris, Salvador Dali, and Junichi Arai. A photography archive adds another dimension to the museum’s holdings, with works by iconic fashion photographers Louise Dahl-Wolfe and John Rawlings.

The Museum at FIT’s current exhibition, “Statement Sleeves,” curated by Colleen Hill, showcases the creative potential and historical significance of this often-overlooked garment element. The exhibition features nearly 80 pieces from the museum’s permanent collection, many on display for the first time, highlighting the works of renowned designers such as Balenciaga, Tom Ford, Schiaparelli, and Vivienne Westwood. Organized thematically rather than chronologically, the exhibition delves into the various ways in which sleeves have served as a mode of self-expression, reflected fashion trends, and signified status, taste, and personality throughout history. From the introductory section, “Fundamental Forms,” which provides an overview of basic sleeve shapes, to the more elaborate and avant-garde designs showcased in sections like “Puffs and Folds,” “Pleats and Ruffles,” and “Embellishment and Adornment,” visitors are taken on a journey through the evolution and innovation of sleeve design. The exhibition also explores the functionality and adaptability of sleeves in the “Performance and Purpose” section, featuring garments ranging from a restrictive 19th century dolman coat to contemporary designer Lucy Jones’ inclusive designs for wheelchair users and people of diverse abilities.

With its impressive collection and thought-provoking exhibitions, The Museum at FIT is a must-visit destination for residents of 555TEN’s Midtown West rentals who appreciate the art and history of fashion.

Jaz Indian Cuisine | 813 Ninth Avenue

Featuring Northern Indian fare, Jaz carries more than just the name of its founder, Jaz Rupall; it embodies her passion for cooking and heritage.

Ariana Afghan Kebob | 787 Ninth Avenue

Serving consistently wonderful Afghan entrees since 1986, Ariana Afghan Kebob is a classic and beloved mainstay that locals adore. Known for its flavorful and succulent seared-on-the-grill kebobs (served with rice and salad), Ariana’s menu also highlights unusual dishes like curried pumpkin, fried turnovers, and homemade dumplings.

Indeed, it’s hard to resist the allure of Poulette’s flavorful and juicy chicken, especially when it’s accompanied by a generous mountain of mashed potatoes.

Hyderabadi Zaiqa | 366 West 52nd Street

Despite its modest size and walk-down location, Hyderabadi Zaiqa is not to be overlooked. The dedicated chefs here serve up some of the city’s finest dum biryani, a mixed rice dish featuring vegetarian and meat options lightly infused with spices — the goat is considered the best in all of NYC. If biryani isn’t to your liking, the surprisingly extensive menu offers plenty to choose from.

Rice X Beans | 688 10th Avenue

Rice X Beans offers authentic Brazilian cuisine in a warm and welcoming setting.

Lum Lum | 404 West 49th Street

From the creative signature cocktails to the equally intriguing list of house specials to the specialty appetizer snack selection, Lum Lum offers a delightfully original Thai menu that consistently delivers.

Renowned anthropologist Clifford Geertz once remarked, “Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun.” In this regard, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (10 Lincoln Center Plaza) serves as a waypoint where threads of significance are woven into intricate narratives that transcend time and space.

When you reside at 555TEN, “all the world’s a stage” isn’t just a saying—it’s your reality, only a curtain call away.

There are essentially two ways to experience Madame Tussauds (234 W 42nd St): in earnest appreciation à la a trip to the Met, or with a slight wink-and-nod. For residents of the 555TEN’s luxury apartments in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, we invite you to do both—appreciate the craftsmanship and the kitsch all at once. It also makes for a perfect, kid-friendly (and adult-friendly) outing on a rainy day.

Madame Tussauds has an over two centuries-long legacy of crafting startlingly realistic wax figures of the world’s most important leaders, artists, innovators and pop culture icons. The New York location carries on founder Marie Tussaud’s artistry with over 200 uncannily lifelike statues spread across 80,000 square feet of interactive exhibits.

Visitors can traverse history by joining the ranks of past presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt or national heroes like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, or brush shoulders with today’s hottest stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Highlight displays transform regularly to feature fan favorites—currently wowing visitors are hyper-realistic figures of Ariana Grande, Angelina Jolie and even Kim Kardashian decked out in iconic Met Gala looks as part of the dazzling interactive Glow Gala experience.

Action and adventure await at Madame Tussauds MARVEL Hall of Heroes exhibit. Here, you can come face to face (or shield) with superheroes of the silver screen like Captain America, hang with wisecracking Spider-Man as he swings from the rafters, and team up with the Avengers to take down Loki and his invading alien forces in the action-packed cinema ride MARVEL Universe 4D. A towering 18-foot animatronic King Kong also resides within the museum walls, blinking, breathing and beating his chest as visitors uncover the mythic secrets of Skull Island.

For those who relish all things haunting and macabre, a Madame Tussauds visit promises frightful interactive fun with wax recreations of cinema’s most chilling monsters and murderers lurking within. Face off against possessed doll Annabelle, spin in the seat from The Exorcist, and come eye to glowing eye with the bloodthirsty clown Pennywise in the Warner Bros. Icons of Horror exhibit. This spine-chilling collection of figures and sets from classic spine-tinglers plunges visitors into an interactive world where they control the scares. The realistic waxworks are so eerie that the exhibit comes with a health warning for those faint of heart.

Beyond celebrities and heroes, Madame Tussauds invites visitors to step into the spotlight themselves at interactive exhibits like the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 555TEN residents can take the stage as talk show guests, reading the news alongside Michael Strahan or cracking jokes with Jimmy himself. At the Fashion Experience with Alessandra Ambrosio, visitors strut the catwalk decked out in stylish threads while receiving personalized coaching from the supermodel herself (in uncannily realistic wax form, of course). With interactive fun around every corner, it’s no wonder Madame Tussauds remains a top attraction for sightseers and locals alike.

For Midtown Manhattan residents at upscale homes like 555TEN, proximity to world-famous attractions enhances an already first-class lifestyle.
