The NFL may be taking a risk by holding a Super Bowl in a winter clime, but for travelers to New York City, it’s win-win. Events leading up to the game, which will be Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N. J., include a gala tasting, a tailgate party and an awards show. But
biggest—and coolest, if you ask us—is the Super Bowl Boule-
vard that takes over Broadway between 34th and 44th streets.
From Jan. 29 through Feb. 1, football fans can throw a touch-
down, catch a pass and kick a field goal on a virtual field; visit
NFL-themed exhibits, including a Vince Lombardi Trophy
display; meet players; and attend football clinics, competitions
and nightly concerts. Plus, footage from NFL Films will be
screened on the side of the Macy’s building in Herald Square.
The big attraction: a toboggan run where up to 1,000 riders
an hour can slide down an eight-lane, 180-foot-long, 58-foot-
high slope.
And even if Super Bowl XLVIII becomes Ice Bowl II, visitors to Super Bowl Boulevard will be nice and toasty. There are
plenty of warming stations. nynjsuperbowl.com

Cutting-edge
Theater
Is it dance? Experimental?
Comedy? To pinpoint the
genre of the Under the
Radar Festival is futile,
but you can say this:
You’ve never seen anything like it.
“It encompasses the
whole breadth of what
you can do in time and
space with an audience,”
says Meiyin Wang, the co-
director with Mark Rus-
sell. “O;ering di;erent
aesthetics and perspec-
tives and cultures.”
It’s the 10th anniver-
sary of the 12-day inter-
national festival, founded
by Mark Russell to coin-
cide with the conference
of the Association of Per-
forming Arts Presenters,
which brings in curators
eager to see cutting-
edge theater.
About eight to 10
plays will be performed
downtown at the Public
Theater near Astor Place,
including a “socially
engaged” piece of “
documentary theater” that
will place performers on-stage with regular people
to tell a contemporary
story, Wang says. “That’s
the major thing,” Russell
told culturebot.org.
“Each year is a new one.”
