The lead | A day of remembrance on Fifth Avenue
Fifth Avenue is preparing for the Veterans Day Parade today. The United War Veterans Council lists a 10:55 a.m. wreath-laying ceremony at Madison Square Park, followed by a 12:30 p.m. parade departure from Fifth Avenue and 26th Street. These are scheduled start times, not a report of a parade already underway.
The organiser names Navy veteran Vicki Bello as honorary marshal, supporting grand marshal and Navy veteran Sunita Williams. Bello’s work connecting veterans with theatre gives today’s commemoration a cultural thread as well as a military one.
For anyone making plans around the avenue, the useful distinction this morning is between the ceremony and the later march. Pick which part you want to attend, then check the organiser’s latest instructions before travelling.

City brief | Street access may change
NYC DOT’s current weekly advisory lists Veterans Day Parade street closures in Manhattan for November 11, at NYPD discretion. It also lists a Veterans Day Festival closure on Broadway between Liberty Street and Battery Place. If you are meeting someone downtown or on Fifth Avenue, check the advisory shortly before setting out; this is a closure notice, not a live account of traffic.

Culture | Two reasons to keep The Met on your list
The Met currently lists Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous through January 31, 2027. It is an option for your autumn art calendar rather than a new opening today.
Looking one day ahead, the museum lists A Long Shadow: Postwar Japan Through the Lens from November 12, 2026 to May 2, 2027. That exhibition is upcoming at this edition’s cutoff. Check the museum’s visitor information before making a trip; this brief does not confirm Wednesday opening hours or ticket availability.
