NICOLE KIDMAN at the CIRCLE IN THE SQUARE THEATRE, MIDTOWN, MANHATTAN

You know what they say: when in New York, do as all New Yorkers do. Nicole Kidman, who just last week stepped out for the premiere of the second season of Big Little Lies, followed the suit of Anna Wintour, Jessica Lange, and many others in seeing the Broadway revival of Oklahoma! at the Circle in the Square Theatre. No word on whether she got the famous chili, but if not, what would be the point in going to a Tony-nominated play at all?

Another week, another MTA disaster. This time, it came in the form of “basketball-sized chunks” of debris raining down from the D/N/R subway platform at the Atlantic Avenue Barclays station on Wednesday. “I had to run to avoid getting hit by chunks, the video shows after they smashed and fell apart,” Vivian Toro, who uploaded the video, told Gothamist. The incident was reportedly caused by work being done by a non-MTA contractor above ground, and thankfully, no one was hurt. As a Twitter user by the name of RAT BOI LIVES! pointed out, “THE MTA IS TRULY THRIVING IN THESE TRYING TIMES!!!!” Ah, New York, aren’t you glamorous?
