Lin-Manuel Miranda has lived in Greenwich Village, Inwood, Upper West Hell (as he calls a dreary block between the Upper West Side and Hell’s Kitchen) and now Harlem with his wife, Vanessa Nadal, a lawyer, though they are about to move — at long last — to Washington Heights, where Mr. Miranda, 34, set his hit Broadway musical, “In the Heights.” Yet no matter the neighborhood, his Sundays have always been about art. Lately, besides working on “Hamilton,” a rap-infused bio-musical about Alexander Hamilton that will open early next year at the Public Theater, he has been curating a monthly film series at the United Palace of Cultural Arts in the Heights, where “Ghostbusters” is screening on March 23.



FOUR-LEGGED ALARM My dog wakes me up around 6:30 a.m. by climbing onto my side of the bed. She is a super-mutt. We met her on a beach in the Dominican Republic, half-starved, when she nibbled on my wife’s ankle. We call her Tobillo, Spanish for ankle, and she loves to get outside. If I have the mental foresight, I’ll make coffee, or else stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at 114th and Frederick Douglass. And then we’ll do two hours in Central Park. It gets my mind going.
