New York Summertime

If you are looking for the quintessential New York summer experience? Or maybe you are just traveling the country checking out hot spots. Either way check out Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park.

Start off your evening by eating at one of the great restaurants that surround central park. Next, warm up the evening by taking a walk. Then, when you near the theatre, it suddenly pops into view almost blending into its natural background. The last show I caught, Twelfth Night in 2009, starred Anne Hathaway, and my date at the time was a huge fan. Stellar performances, killer sets and spot on technical crew. What a great experience!

Romance, adventure, fine dining and a live show. I recommend checking out Shakespeare in the park to anyone who even remotely likes theatre.

Alan Rickman And Jerry O'Connell in Seminar

For a hilarious peek into the lives of New York writers, head over to Broadway's Golden Theatre, where prolific playwright Theresa Rebeck's new work, Seminar, is introducing audiences to four fledgling authors (Jerry O'Connell, Lily Rabe, Hamish Linklater and Hettienne Park).

The quartet has hired Leonard (Alan Rickman), a pompous professor, to pep up their prose in a posh, "rent-stabilized" Upper West Side apartment. The rub? Leonard is a bit more than they've bargained for. He relishes in ripping their work—and fragile psyches—apart. The result is a very funny and heartbreaking look at New York's creative class.

Apple "Reinvents" The Textbook, Saves Future Generations From Back Pain

The days of lugging a 40-pound backpack to and from school are almost over, or so Apple would have us believe. At an invite-only event at the Guggenheim this morning, Apple introduced the newest version of its iBook ebook app, an ebook authoring tool, and introduced a line of math and science textbooks designed for the iPad. The textbooks are focused, for the time being, on elementary through high school students, and will supplement the existing 20,000 educational apps already made for the tablet.
