and that's why i love new york. new york essentially tells you what's going to happen. also, new york is stunning. the skyscrapers, the lights. there's no place in the world that has the energy that new york city has. new york is the next generation city because there's always people cultivating things, coming up with new ideas, collaborating with each other. whether you look for trendsetting art, groundbreaking fashion, or game-changing sports, every borough offers an exciting experience. i'm paige desorbo. join me on a journey to celebrate my favorite city and explore the neighborhood and technology shaping it. this is the next generation of new york. [upbeat music] [vocalizing] (singing) gonna give up and meet my, but meet my--

paige desorbo: you may be used to viewing art hanging on the walls, but that's all changing. in new york city's chelsea market, artechouse actually puts you inside the art, which is something i feel like i can get behind. [upbeat music] here we go! this is insane. guide: this is a ground-breaking exhibition, because it's really showing the arts and science come together with the help of technology. paige desorbo: and it all begins with a 3d model of a neuron in the brain. this is a completely different art experience than i've ever had. it almost feels like you're floating and the room is turning with you. for three years, artechouse's prolific artists joined forces with the society of neuroscience to create life of a neuron,

an unforgettable 20-minute experience that guides viewers through a human life from birth to aging. the story of what's really happening in our brains and how can we tell that story to the 21st century audience in a very innovative and scientifically correct way? the neuron itself, the 3d model, it took about 10 years to put together. yeah. paige desorbo: oh, my god. - believe it or not. i don't think i've done anything for 10 years, other than, like, complain. - yeah. you and me both. [laughter] paige desorbo (voiceover): this approach takes you from being a passive viewer to an active participant. it's frowned upon at other museums to touch the art. but here, we're immersing ourselves. what is this? guide: it's a giant eye. it's very difficult to miss. so a common misconception is that the eye is what gives us vision, when in reality, the eye is more of a gateway to the brain, which is why here you can see we're upside down. - wow. i wish i paid attention more in science class.

- [laughs] - but it's ok. guide: you and me, both. paige desorbo: --because i'm learning it now. guide: exactly. yeah. so these numbers here, that's how fast your eye, in real life-- correct. --is decoding light? yeah. it all happens in, like, a split nanosecond. oh, my god. i appreciate these brown eyes so much more. [laughs] guide: growing up in a family of artists, for me, was always to-- what can i do to bring the future of the art today? we were never interested to showcasing yesterday's art, but we wanted to showcase tomorrow's art today, so-- oh, i love that. paige desorbo: ok. so the best part of the day-- guide: yes. paige desorbo: --drinks. guide: drinks, drinks. [gentle music] paige desorbo: that looks amazing. thank you. guide: check this out. paige desorbo: oh, wow. paige desorbo (voiceover): the digital art experience comes to life in physical form, transforming your average cocktail into a magical masterpiece. this is xr, so it's an extended reality. so it's meant for the audience to interact at the bar. and each of the cocktails has this kind of, like, the story

behind that, what the chocolate and the coffee does to our brain, for instance. paige desorbo: i love this. it's very cool. [digital whirring] guide: what makes us? it's our experience. right. and what's our experience? it's actually the neurons that are happening in our head that makes us who we are. paige desorbo: and i feel like this is the future of museums and of learning. it's so interactive. guide: absolutely. i feel like i learned more today than i did all of high school. absolutely. and that's the goal, right? to get inspired.

paige desorbo (voiceover): chinatown is one of new york's oldest neighborhoods. since the mid-1800s, it has been filled with vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and fascinating discoveries. but the pandemic and misguided rhetoric impacted its colorful streets' vibrancy.

reporter: so far this year, the nypd says there have been at least 10 reports of anti-asian hate crimes. paige desorbo (voiceover): thankfully, a new generation of asian-americans are rallying together to spark renewed interest in their community. chinatown is known as a bachelor society. and that's because of the 1882 chinese exclusion act. paige desorbo (voiceover): the mott street girls are bringing a new understanding to the neighborhood's history and future. paige desorbo: so how did you get started with the tours? so me and anna, we were volunteer tour guides at a local museum in chinatown. unfortunately, february 2020, we all know what happened. a global pandemic struck new york city. and we had the idea to maybe bring our tours onto the streets of manhattan chinatown. that's how mott street got started. look at how decadent these cakes are! like, the pikachu cake? like, oh my god! paige desorbo: when you do the tours, you obviously have to connect with all the small businesses. what are some of, like, the challenges that they face?

language and technological barriers. as well as during the pandemic, there's lack of federal aid in the community. chloe chan: and you might think that, like, oh, the pandemic is over, right? these businesses are still struggling to survive. paige desorbo (voiceover): but this father and son have made it their mission to help local restaurants affected by the pandemic not only survive but thrive by creating the mott street eatery, chinatown's first food court. when this place closed down, i told my dad, you know, rents are so expensive. i think the only way this place would survive, if it was, like, a food court and make it affordable for restaurants to open up. and he said that was a great idea. paige desorbo: do you feel like this is the next generation of food? yeah. i think for, like, new york city especially, just go to the food court. get different things and stay at the same table as friends, family. so bringing everything into one roof and come in and enjoy it. what can i make for you? paige desorbo (voiceover): one of its newest residents is chef jiro, who has tantalized palates at domo sushi

in tribeca for almost 20 years. today, he has a new address. so how did you get in mott street eatery? very sad to close in 2020, october. it means so, you know-- paige desorbo: so many emotions. yeah. so many emotions. - that's good. chef jiro: yeah. so all your clients found you, and-- chef jiro: very-- paige desorbo: --now they come here. chef jiro: very exciting. very happy. one door closed. one door gonna be open. right? that's my favorite one. chloe chan: food, it brings us a sense of comfort, a sense of home. like, i remember even growing up, our favorite activity as a family was to come to chinatown every weekend to get our groceries, to get the restaurants here. i've never had shrimp for breakfast. [laughter] and what's your favorite store? it's so hard to pick. do you have one? yeah. small businesses like k.k. discount is, like, important, crucial to the community. ken: hey. hello. i'm paige. ken: oh, nice to meet you. - nice to meet you. - ken. it used to be, like, a general store. so they so-- like, they're known as like the target of chinatown.

paige desorbo (voiceover): a staple for over 30 years, k.k. discount has been a cultural cornerstone of chinatown, its shelves stacked high with tradition. paige desorbo: why are so many things red? this is very important in chinese culture. red means lucky. supposing your birthday-- i put some money in a red envelope. that means that money is the lucky for you. don't put it in a white envelope. ok. ken: that means it's in the envelope. oh, my god. i feel like i've done that in the past. paige desorbo (voiceover): the store has an abundance of offerings, but its most important commodity is family. [laughter] woman: hi! - hello! - how are you doing? - oh, yeah. hi. how are you doing? very nice to meet you. i'm paige. hi, paige. how are you? - i've heard a lot about you. i'm sure my dad has told you a lot. yes, but there's even another generation, little miss chinatown, nalia. woman: nalia. paige desorbo: she's beautiful. woman: and she's almost four years old. paige desorbo: wow. the reason why i started her account was because it was

an opportunity for me to be able to show what it's like to be at a mom and pop store. starting small and then know how grandpa makes money. not so easy. you know, working hard to make-- this is a kind of teaching, right, you cannot learn from school. - it's a true family business. - yeah. right, right. yes. what's your favorite part about giving the tours? honestly, just building community, like, getting to know these small business owners, their stories as well as connect with guests from all over the world. man: my great-grandfather and my grandfather, they came over here. [flute music] it was a little historic. it was a little bit like we wanted to preserve manhattan chinatown. chinatown is a good area, i think. we are new york city. ken: i talk to my customer, give them them before. now they come in. say, oh, you're not my customer. they say, what? i say now, you are to be my friend. [flute music]

paige desorbo (voiceover): harlem is a revolutionary destination, famously known as the black mecca of the world. from the harlem renaissance, the apollo, and the iconic globetrotters, this historical neighborhood overflows with creativity. and now, it's influencing the next generation on the ice. [upbeat music] welcome to ice hockey in harlem. boy: come on! you got this! you got this! narrator: and executive director malik garvin is at the forefront of it all, carrying on the legacy of greats like willie o'ree, who broke the nhl's color barrier in 1958. malik garvin: i started playing ice hockey at the age of three. paige desorbo: wow. can you even stand at three, especially on ice? [laughs] it was tough, but it was something that i endured, and i loved it. i also went to school here attached to the schoolyard. paige desorbo: oh, wow. if you look at the bottom of these rectangles in the fence,

they kind of resemble a hockey net. so we would always call up our friends in the neighborhood who were also in ice hockey in harlem. we'd pick a square in the back corner over there, and we would play hockey. it was game on. paige desorbo (voiceover): with a mission to open new doors for promising young people from his community, he works tirelessly to provide an alternative sport. malik garvin: so our program is completely free of charge. everything i have, which makes ice hockey in harlem, including a great education. and i knew that there were kids in this neighborhood who could have similar outcomes to what i had if they had proper guidance and stuck with it in the classroom and on the ice. paige desorbo (voiceover): much like malik, leah and her brother, blaze, are among many youths that have reaped the rewards of the program. [upbeat music] blaze: come on, come on, come on. you got this! you got this! i know how you only have a few seconds left! before this, i wouldn't have imagine ever skating on the ice. like, i thought that was like a fantasy or a dream, but this is, like, really cool.

i literally feel like i'm gliding and flying on the ice. i feel like it's a really exquisite experience that i'm not gonna get anywhere else. nice! you've got to celebrate. that was awesome. paige desorbo (voiceover): and leah's mom is truly proud of the progress her daughter has made. mother: this experience has been invaluable. my daughter is a good sport. she's coaching. she's volunteering her time. they actually got to meet willie o'ree. my kids have definitely been bitten by the hockey bug. paige desorbo: that's a lot of kids. instructor: yes, we've got a lot of kids who are getting ready for practice here for our learn to skate group, over 60 kids who never skated before the season started. paige desorbo (voiceover): step one, learning the gear. instructor: we've got shoulder pads here, gloves and another shin pad. all right? where's your neck guard? girl: can you help me with my shoulder pad? i would love to. i don't know if i know how to do it, so you tell me if i'm doing it right. where does this one go? back here? that is like the top one. are you sure? girl: yes.

paige desorbo: i think we're doing it wrong. look. she's doing it like this. i know. i told you this goes on underneath. ok. paige desorbo: ok. [laughs] now, i'm sweating and i haven't even done anything yet. paige desorbo (voiceover): step two, suit up. paige desorbo: this bag is massive. this is my weekend bag. [laughs] you want to start from the bottom and go all the way up. there you go. perfect. this is a lot of work. malik garvin: a lot of work. there we go. now you got it. malik, if i break a nail-- uh-oh. --it's your fault. i feel like i'm being crowned. malik garvin: all right. looking like a hockey player. paige desorbo (voiceover): step three, hit the ice. paige desorbo: thank you so much. oh, my god. you're so good and i'm so bad. instructor: remember your hockey position. come on, hockey stance! we're gonna do some fun drills with the stick. the stick always has to be where you have it right now, and that's the steering wheel for your scooter. you guys ever drive a scooter before?

children: yeah! instructor: ah! and now, push like this. what? instructor: push! this is the hardest thing i've ever done! malik garvin: yeah. you can turn your foot. oh! malik garvin: oh! and now, we learn how to get up. wow. these really worked. i'm out of breath, and i've gone three steps. i've already fallen more than every child here. ooh! - all right. turn around. this is hard. come help me! malaya: do an l. and then push the foot and then push back. that foot's gonna push back. ok. oh, that helped! you're a good teacher, malaya. these kids definitely know what they're doing. they know their stuff. instructor: ok, kids. come on. get back together in alignment. sorry. i'm sorry. i have to get back to class. paige desorbo (voiceover): after a day of hockey, i may be sore, but my heart is warm with the love radiating from every kid on the ice. instructor: you guys did a really awesome job today. let's bring it in. 1, 2, 3! all: [cheering] woman: yeah. [cheering] so did you ever think that you were

gonna be an ice hockey mom? mother (voiceover): no. ice hockey wasn't on my radar at all. my introduction to ice hockey is through these kids. paige desorbo: yes. but now, i am for sure a hockey mom. i feel this is where he should be in life. he's able to teach other kids what he learned in the program. narrator: ice hockey in harlem is equipping the next generation for a future of possibilities. they're learning life more than the game. malik was so right when he said the kids really learn to fall and get back up. and i'm so proud of how they put on all their gear. they're ready to go. they get out on the ice they. do what the coaches tell them. they fall and they get right back up.

from regular manufacturing? so in typical manufacturing, especially with sweaters, you're producing at least 300 or 500 items at a time. paige desorbo: oh, wow. shop owner (voiceover): we've created a software to go with our 3d knitting machines. so is this what every designer sees when they log on? shop owner: yes. paige desorbo: ok. shop owner: yeah. they have access to the whole platform. it follows them from development through production. we're really utilizing the effectiveness of the 3d knitting machine, plus our software so that you don't have to carry any inventory. paige desorbo: if you have the idea of something you want in your closet, you can make it. like, you can even make bathing suits. shop owner: yes. yeah. maybe we'll go somewhere tropical. [laughs] paige desorbo: how many designers do you work with? we have over 60 brand partners signed up right now. wow. shop owner: we have yumi, who came in. and she got super inspired by all the styles that we have here. paige desorbo (voiceover): yumi nu is a singer, songwriter, and model who has graced the covers of "vogue hong

kong" and "sports illustrated." now, she's adding fashion designer to her resume with her line, blueki. what made you decide to become a fashion designer? i think i just hit a wall as a customer and as a model. and i've tried so many plus-size options for clothing. paige desorbo: the fabrics you chose really are so comfortable. yumi nu: thank you. paige desorbo: so when you walked into tailored, were you just like, yep, this is where i belong? yeah, definitely. i really like that they have such a range of possibility here. it's, like, scarves and basic sweaters, but then they also could make something with a-- paige desorbo: cutout. --a cutout in the arm and thumb holes. oh, i didn't even see the thumb holes. yes. i'm a big thumb holes person. yeah, me, too. paige desorbo (voiceover): after gushing over yumi's designs, i'm inspired. so i'm off to the factory floor for a closer look. wow. this is incredible. there's so many machines. yeah. paige desorbo: so many people working. shop owner: so once your customers place your order,

it goes into knitting. it comes from the yarn on the cone, right through the machine. and then it'll go to a quality control, finishing, washing, drying, steaming-- wow. --and packing and then drop shipping right to your customer. it's incredible. shop owner: so as an order comes in of one piece or 100 pieces, it gets a qr code. and that qr code travels with it through the whole production process so we can track each stage as it's happening. each thread goes through this machine into the feeders, over the needles. oh, my gosh. so remember, i mentioned grandma knitting? yes. this is like thousands of them. paige desorbo: thousands of grandmas are in here. shop owner: thousands of grandmas are right in here. exactly. it takes about an hour for the whole process to come out. oh, wow. paige desorbo (voiceover): with my garment in hand, i am ready for a fashion show. honestly, this should have been my outfit for the day. i know. well, then you can-- - i love it. - --walk out of here with it. - you were right about the-- - yeah.

- --thumb holes. - especially this one. it just feels good. it feels really good. paige desorbo: do you feel like the 3d printing is changing the fashion game? yeah. i think definitely incorporating technology as it progresses into fashion and seeing how it could help minimize waste and fix these problems and holes in the fashion industry that are causing a lot of harm. shop owner: typically, you go into a factory and it's just piled with clothes everywhere. right. yeah. it's very neat and clean. it's very neat because we're not overproducing. paige desorbo: right. shop owner: we're just trying to make things as efficiently as possible, as cost effectively as possible and with no waste. paige desorbo (voiceover): by blending fashion and innovation, i am sure the next generation of designers and fashionistas will be on trend. it's been almost 10 years, and i'm still in awe of new york city. the future of fashion, art, and community is bright all
