10 endroits colorés à visiter à New York dès maintenant

House of Yes

**Where:** Bushwick, Brooklyn

Flashy inside and out—both for its elaborately costumed performers and clientele and its orange-, red- and pink-painted exterior—this dance club and performance venue is a local favorite and a safe space to let your freak flag fly. Expect nights filled with aerial performers, drag queens and lots of technicolor garb.

Terrazas de Arroz

**Where:** Doyers Street, Chinatown, Manhattan

Chilean-born and NYC-based artist [Dasic Fernández](https://dasicfernandez.com/) is known for his large-scale, vibrant art installations. His polychrome murals often appear three dimensional, creating optical illusions on streets and buildings in cities like Miami, Santiago and Riyadh. Fernández’s _Terrazas de Arroz_ installation on Doyers Street in Chinatown is made to resemble the astounding [rice field terraces](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1111/) in Yunnan, China. The 44-color mural spans all of Doyers Street between Pell Street and Bowery.

Museum of Ice Cream 

**Where:** Soho, Manhattan

This dreamy, hands-on [museum](/museums-galleries/museum-of-ice-cream/) will satisfy your sweet tooth and your Instagram feed with 13 installations covering three floors. Step inside an all-pink subway car, dive into a pool of rainbow sprinkles and slide down the Ice Cream Portal for the 360 experience. Then get your sugar (and booze) fix at the café with spiked or regular milkshakes and other sweet treats.

Subway Station Art

**Where:** Various locations

Mesmerizing mosaics can transform New York City subways into underground art exhibits. Take the dazzling [aquatic motif](/photo-galleries/cool-nyc-subway-stations#slide-9) found at the 81st Street station (and pictured here), which signifies to straphangers that they’re close to the American Museum of Natural History. The Bleecker Street station, meanwhile, features Leo Villareal’s colorful LED installation [_Hive_](http://villareal.net/hive-mta-bleeker-street), which you’ll see as you take the escalator to the upper platform. And a new mosaic installation, [_Soundsuits_](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2021/09/nick-cave-soundsuit-mosaic/), by artist Nick Cave, brightens the 42 Street connector between Times Square and Bryant Park with its spirited, finely detailed figures in every color.

Dan's Parents House

**Where:** City Island, The Bronx

This [toy store](https://www.dansparentshouse.com/) may appeal more to nostalgic adults than kids, with hard-to-find figurines and paraphernalia predominantly from the 1980s appearing in display windows—making both the house itself and its contents a colorful sight. The name is literal: owner Dan Treiber did in fact purchase the sea green and mauve house he grew up in from his parents. In addition to running the store here, Treiber brings a haul of retro goodies to the Brooklyn Flea market on Sundays in Dumbo.

Comfortland

**Where:** Astoria, Queens

The exterior of this [popular Queens doughnut shop](https://www.instagram.com/comfortland/?hl=en) is just as colorful as the icing on the deep-fried treats themselves. You’ll have plenty of time to take in the teal and hot pink decor—and if you’re lucky, hear a DJ spin punk records—while you wait to place your order. Try the rainbow cookie crumb cake to both see and taste the rainbow.

The Nature of Color 

**Where:** [The American Museum of Natural History](/museums-galleries/american-museum-of-natural-history/), Upper West Side, Manhattan

Through December 5, AMNH invites visitors to explore the meaning of color and its role in evolution and our world. [This exhibit](https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/color)’s vibrant, interactive displays let guests “paint” walls and step inside various monochromatic rooms to explore individual hues in depth. It is meant to challenge our perception of colors found in flowers, fauna and fashion.

Economy Candy

**Where:** Lower East Side, Manhattan

There isn’t a single color you can’t find at [Economy Candy](https://economycandy.com/), a shop lined floor to ceiling with sweets (their website even lets you search by color). The 1930s-era store sells old-fashioned favorites like Chupa Chups Melody Pops and Push Pops, along with novelty confections and nostalgic items such as vintage trading cards and Pez dispensers.

Lakruwana

**Where:** Stapleton, Staten Island

The brick facade of this beloved [family-owned Sri Lankan restaurant](/restaurants/lakruwana-staten-island/) on Staten Island features an elaborate, colorful mural, as well as an intricate bas-relief. The dining room is just as ornate, with multihued tapestries that hang from the ceiling, bright blue Tibetan-style wooden masks, and statues of Buddha brought directly from Sri Lanka. The owners also run a nearby [Sri Lankan museum](/museums-galleries/sri-lankan-arts-and-cultural-museum-ny/).

Cascade

**Where:** [The William Vale](/hotels/william-vale), Williamsburg, Brooklyn

This [interactive installation](https://cascadeshow.com/) at the William Vale hotel in Williamsburg is the feat of artist [Jen Stark](https://www.jenstark.com/) and her technologist collaborators. Stark’s psychedelic visuals and sacred geometries are brought to life through augmented reality, projection and sound. Followers of the LA-based artist will recognize her signature liquid-like rainbow patterns that have been realized as complex 3-D sculptures and murals.
