Spring break is here! Whether you waited until the last minute to plan or you're on a budget, there's a lot of places to enjoy spring weather right in the tri-state area. Travel + Leisure's editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford shares her picks for the best staycations in New Jersey and we also take your calls to hear yours.

An exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art features pieces of interactive design -- pieces which strongly resemble, and in some cases simply are, video games. The exhibit is called "Never Alone," and its curators Paola Antonelli and Paul Galloway join us to discuss computer-based art, interactivity and designing works for players who expect to do more than spectate.

Over 120 works at The Jewish Museum—paintings, Chinese art, illuminated manuscripts, and Judaica unveil the story of a Jewish family's pioneering role in trade, art collecting, architectural patronage, and civic engagement from the early 19th century through World War II. The new exhibition is titled, 'The Sassoons." Co-curators Claudia Nahson and Esther da Costa Meyer join us to talk about the show on display through Aug. 13.

[REBROADCAST FROM July 7, 2022] According to the Ringer, FX's "The Bear" is "the surprise hit of the summer." The show stars Jeremy Allen White as a chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to take over his family's sandwich shop. White, who is also known for his role in Showtime's "Shameless," joins us.
