In 1973 a fire destroyed the New Orleans gay bar the Upstairs Lounge, killing 32 people and injuring dozens. In a new art installation in an empty retail space under the High Line, artist Skylar Fein recreates part of the bar and manufactures realistic mementos of a fabulous gay past that never was. Wed–Sun noon–7pm through May 30; free.
