Hot Pick

Maryann Jacob Macias, former FPer extraordinaire, tells FP:

Must Read

FAR FROM THE TREE by Andrew Solomon, a refreshing break from the "bad mother," the author explores & analyzes families with children born with or into "exceptional" circumstances: deafness, autism, dwarfism, children conceived from rape.

Must See

PUNK: Chaos to Couture at the MET. See how the rag tag movement has impacted high fashion and culture. While you're at it, check out FP's The Riot Grrrl Collection for the feminist interpretation of punk fashion!

Must Do

This summer, show some love to Coney Island & the Rockaways—recently touted by WNYC as now the most expensive beach in the country. A better deal than the Hamptons!

Favorite Press: FP!
