In our vibrant city, it’s easy to forget which events to skip. Here’s just a few you missed when you blinked ~
(Tues) Snoop Dogg performance / book-signing @ Barnes & Noble Union Square
The mega-platinum rapper & ultra-high multimedia playa arrives in town to promote his new memoir, The Audacity of Dope. He will perform several fresh new remixed tracks and provide a few tips on how to become a lovable super-stoned media darling after killing a few dudes.
(Wed) Film Forum’s ‘Unrelated Sequels’ series continues with the harrowing 1-2 emotional punch of Tap & Taps. Didn’t know Gregory Hines’ tap-dancing skills and ultra-strict teen military schools had anything in common? Just watch closely (& dance, maggot)!
(Thurs) ‘Eat Local’ Day - Dining destinations from the gourmet to the greasy-spoon will compete for the locavore dollar, vying to achieve the fastest ‘kill-to-table’ ratio while serving their discerning patrons the freshest animal, vegetable or mineral entree. Some Chinatown restaurants have already gotten a jump on the exciting event, offering a new ‘Catch of the Day’ rotating daily vermin-sourced in-house menu option!
(Fri) ‘The Living Kaleidoscope’ Park - In the tradition of ‘repurposed’ public spaces like the successful ‘High-Line’ comes this newly minted curiosity, a former sewage drainage tunnel abutting the Brooklyn Battery, now converted into an enchanting life-size revolving kaleidoscope filled with shards of locally-blown glass - perfect for enchanting observers and distracting from the blinding white noise of the BQE. A modest seating area will be provided in the expressway median for lingering views.
(Sat) The Jell-O Joint Opening - The ever-narrowing race for niche-food specialization conquers a new frontier - Jell-O! The Kraft-sponsored Jell-O Joint, opening in the shell of a gutted unsightly OTB parlor, will feature a wide ‘artisinal gelatin’ selection, including vegan and soy varieties, whimsically shaped & molded by local craft-food artistes. Be sure to try the vodka-infused spirulina Jell-O shots & the delish nori pudding pop! We’re all Cosby Kids in the end.
