In the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when New York and much of the world were still in a state of shock, a group of top-flight actors, directors and other creative workers donated their time and talents for a special project to lure tourists back to the Big Apple. The “New York Miracle” ads were unveiled only two months after the tragedy, and featured stars like Robert DeNiro, Woody Allen, Ben Stiller and Billy Crystal. The commercials were as much a boost to the city’s morale as they were an invitation to tourists. At the end of each segment, Mayor Rudy Giuliani intones: “The New York Miracle. Be a part of it.”
The video above offers a look back at all nine ads. They appear in the following order:
“Deli,” starring Ben Stiller and Kevin Bacon.
“Turkey,” starring Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal; directed by Barry Levinson.
“Theatre,” starring Barbara Walters; directed by Bryan Buckley.
“Skating,” starring Woody Allen; directed by Joe Pytka.
“Yankee Stadium,” starring Henry Kissinger; directed by Joe Pytka.
“Philharmonic,” starring Yogi Berra; directed by Joe Pytka.
“New York Giants Kicker,” starring Vanessa Williams.
“Marathon,” starring Al Roker.
“Santa,” starring Christopher Walken.
Watch them here: So Cool
It can truly be said that they know their audience. (and we ALL know someone this sports-obsessed!)
This December, in a surprisingly simple yet ridiculously amazing installation for the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a large domestic environment, painting every wall, chair, table, piano, and household decoration a brilliant white, effectively serving as a giant white canvas. Over the course of two weeks, the museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of colored dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled explosion of color. How great is this? Given the opportunity my son could probably cover the entire piano alone in about fifteen minutes. The installation, entitled The Obliteration Room, is part of Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that runs through March 12.

A Holiday Spot That’s A Real Gift
So here we are in mid-November, around 40 shopping days away from Christmas Day, and the first holiday classic has arrived. And not just arrived, set the bar, really. This beautiful spot from UK retailer John Lewis demonstrates real insight, wit and craft. Great story, great casting, great acting and a beautiful cover of The Smith’s “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want.”
