LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON: Despite concerns for light pollution, some municipalities and public spaces have gotten a jump on the holiday season in terms of stringing up the lights.
To trumpet its “23 Days of Flatiron Cheer,” the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District has unveiled “Point of Action,” a public art installation by Studio Cooke John. Located on the Flatiron Public Plaza, the installation encourages shoppers and passersby to stop and step under one of the illuminated sculptural pieces to view others doing the same from a distance.
