People’s love for New York assumes many forms, from a Frank Sinatra ballad to a Frank O’Hara poem. The newly reopened MOMA is greeting visitors to its lobby with a big mural of the iconic I♥NY logo (seen in closeup, above). It was conceived for a 1977 tourism campaign by the legendary graphic designer Milton Glaser, who died in June, at the age of ninety-one. To insure a safely reduced ­capacity, the museum is making timed tickets available at moma.org; admission is free through Sept. 27.
