There may not be a release day yet for the third season of the hit Amazon Prime show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but you can now enter the world of the show yourself at the newest immersive exhibit at the Paley Center.  Live out your wealthy Upper West Side housewife-turned-comedian dreams with recreations of famous sets like the hair salon from the Catskills, the booth from the Stage Deli, the B. Altman switchboard and Rose’s Paris apartment. You can even test your own stand-up comedy skills on the TV set from the Arthritis Telethon! The exhibit will also feature some of the show's outstanding Emmy-nominated period costumes. (So you can check out those insane hats up close!) After, you can sit back and enjoy screenings of fan-favorite episodes from season two. The exhibit is open to the public August 10 through September 6 at The Paley Center for Media at 25 West 52 Street. Tickets are free and are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the door, or you can RSVP in advance. The exhibit's hours are Wednesdays to Sundays, noon to 6pm; Thursdays until 8pm and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

The only thing that can fix New York’s reputation for terrible driving may actually be just getting rid of the drivers themselves. Driverless cars will be arriving in NYC on Wednesday to shuttle passengers around a loop just over a mile long in Brooklyn Navy Yard, tucked away from any busy streets. The autonomous cars will be free and will offer rides seven days a week to anyone who needs a lift to and from and the recently opened ferry landing. As the technology of autonomous cars advances, there has been debate over the benefits of introducing the cars to already overpopulated NYC roads. Some people say that having driverless vehicles is safer than getting into an Uber or Taxi, but the technology may not be at the level required of it yet. The first pedestrian death from an autonomous car happened last year to a woman walking her bike on a road in Tempe, Arizona, and three Tesla drivers have died from activating the autopilot feature over the past couple of years.  Optimus Ride, a start up founded in 2015 by five graduates and researchers from MIT, is the company behind the autonomous cars appearing tomorrow in Brooklyn, and has no history of accidents related to their vehicles. They have provided more than 20,000 autonomous vehicle rides around Boston’s seaport neighborhood and a residential community in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. As of now, the cars always have two people on every ride, one to collect data to continue to improve the technology and another to take over

Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City? A new immersive pop-up art exhibit in the Financial District might be able to help your dreams come to life, literally. Entertainment company Moment Factory has partnered with Cipriani to transform the historic Cunard Building (now Cipriani 25 Broadway) into a colorful walk-through digital art installation called SuperReal.  Using special technology, Moment Factory has mapped the ornate interior design of the Grand Hall to transform your surroundings and transport you to different dreamlike destinations. One minute you could be daydreaming in a fairylike flower garden and the next you're caught in an epic thunderstorm or thrown into the middle of a rager with massive balloons and loud techno music. Inside the exhibit, there's a maze of different interactive installations, which respond to your movements. (Ever wonder what you would look like as a giant blue paint blob? Now you can find out!) During the show, people are encouraged to relax on bean bags or play with balloons that also react with the 360-degree show. The floor is a gigantic mirror which enhances the special effects. (So plan your outfit accordingly in case the person standing next to you decides to look down for a moment.) Ultimately, SuperReal is meant to “attract an eclectic group of people who are willing to set their minds and senses free." If you’re bored of the usual art pop-ups around the city, this is definitely a different type of experience you

Soccer fan or not, it was hard not to get swept up in the excitement of New York City’s ticker-tape parade on Wednesday, honoring the World Cup victory of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team. New Yorkers of all ages lined up along Broadway from The Battery to City Hall, a stretch also known as the “Canyon of Heroes.” American flags and signs like “equal pay for equal play” were waving high in the sky in support of the team. The crowd chanted “USA! USA! USA!” as champion players such as Megan Rapinoe and goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher rode by in floats, chugging champagne and embracing the admiration.  A sea of ticker-tape and toilet paper covered the street as the parade passed, but the celebration continued at City Hall where Mayor Bill de Blasio presented the team with keys to the city. “On and off the field, this team represents what’s best about New York City and our nation," de Blasio said in a statement released before the festivities. "The confidence, grit, and perseverance of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team serve as an inspiration to all who watch them." This is the USWNT's fourth World Cup victory and the team has broken its own record for most wins in the tournament’s history. Wednesday's celebration marks New York’s 207th ticker-tape parade. The first one was held in 1886 for the dedication of the Statue of Liberty.  Revel in the celebration by looking at the photos below.
