 THE MORNING LINE ‣
Check out illustrator Jenni Sparks' hand-drawn,
amazingly detailed map of NYC!
‣ Restaurant Week is on now through February 8.
‣ Opening tonight at International Print Center NY, 508 W. 26th [10th/11th] 212.989.5090, Pop-Up! The Magical World of Movable Books, showcasing selections from the Bernard S. Shapiro collection.
 ‣ The Atlantic claims this is the The Best Aerial Image of New York City You'll Ever See. Arguable, but a great image for sure.
‣ From January 22-25, Ann Hampton Callaway builds Bridges at Birdland, a cabaret show in which the great singer performs a set about healing divides.
art ‣ At Birnam Wood Art, 514 W. 24th [10th/11th] 212.242.2270, Film Noir, a show of Susan Grossman's charcoal and pastel drawings, mostly in New York settings. It's Noir minus serious menace, though the occasional, very subtle daubs of red do introduce a mysterious note. Great in any case.
photography ‣ A completely different, thoroughly captivating eye on New York, that of photographer David S. Allee, who has a show opening tonight at Morgan Lehman Gallery, 535 W. 22nd [10th/11th] 212.268.6699. He even manages to make a view on a brick wall look fresh.
 theater ‣ Only in a game of Unlikeliest Co-stars would you put Vanessa Redgrave and Jesse Eisenberg in the same sentence, yet next month they will in fact be co-starring in the Rattlestick's production The Revisionist, written by Mr. Eisenberg. Eisenberg plays an author with writer's block who visits a relative, Redgrave (second billed, proving chivalry is dead), in Poland. Previews start February 15.
 music ‣ Shara Worden has performed with The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, and most notably as My Brightest Diamond. A triple threat barely does her justice: she writes multi-genre-ational music, her voice can sound art-house mannered or gently vulnerable, sometimes simultaneously. And her shows are filled with visuals, dancing, and surprise. She's at Bowery Ballroom January 23, 8pm, $18.
 ‣ What to Expect When You're Renovating, a class that will take you through the NYC apartment renovation process in two hours. If only renovation could move so swiftly. Center for Architecture, February 13, 6pm, $35.
