Checklist: Our Top Picks For the Week

Newsweek

See “Two Museums, One Culture” at the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, Mass. This ambitious survey of icons from the 16th through the 19th centuries includes 16 rare works from Moscow’s Tretyakov Gallery ($5; russianiconmuseum.com).

Hear “Don’t Believe” by Cherry holmes III. This family of six has created a bluegrass sound that explodes with exuberant fiddle, expert banjo and passionate harmonies. With energy to spare, the new album is a foot-tapping delight ($12.98).

Rent “The Edge of Heaven.” Cultures, generations and lovers collide in director Fatih Akin’s stunning, moving drama, which whirls from Germany to Turkey, tenderness to terrorism. It’s a multicultural epic.

Surf MyPyramid.gov and click on FOR PRESCHOOLERS for the USDA’s new nutritional guidelines for kids 2 to 5. The Web site answers questions about your child’s level of physical activity and eating habits and also provides information on food safety and creating customized eating plans.

Go to Hawaii with new sale fares from United (united.com). Sample round trips include New York to Kona ($674), Boston to Hilo ($676) and Chicago to Kahului ($398). There’s no booking deadline, so the deals could vanish as suddenly as they arrived.
