You missed Bushwick's open studios this weekend :(

My music recs:
Shigeto - Sat - 13th (Ghostly International openers)
Zola Jesus - Sun - 14th
The Acid - Tues - 16th (mostly Ghostly International openers)

That's why it was a nuthouse yesterday! Never seen so many hipsters at once.

They just all came out of the woodwork haha. However, higher hipster density means more vegan vendors for me

I'll send you a PM. Maybe someone else has more knowledge of the arts that week? (I'm a music/ food guy)

There's some decent stuff on Broadway at the moment (Fun Home,The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), but I imagine prices will be elevated for a bit due to the Tony's last weekend and the reduced number of show openings at this time of year.

i'd highly recommend hand to god - it was incredible. you can also make a night of it by going to the bar lobo and hoping robert askins (the writer) is working.

What indoor activities are there for rainy days ?

Friend is over there with her folks atm and been to Metropolitan, American Museum of Natural History and MoMA museum, Madame Tussauds, one Broadway show.

Guess she could go to the suggested Broadway shows as above?

David Zwirner and Gagosian worth checking out ?

Anyone know of a good place to learn how to make metal jewelry in NYC? I'm interested in learning the process and making my own rings necklaces etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone ever been to Rao's in Harlem? What did you think?

HELP: A friend is looking to move his business into an industrial/office space, preferably in Manhattan (the garment district would be ideal), but will consider Brooklyn as well. If you have any leads, please let me know.

Ooooh, a must!

Totokaelo opening here in September, wonder what that will bring to the retail landscape

hopefully a well designed store. the cap hill location in seattle is one of the cooler stores i've set foot in. their stock is unique and great for seattle, but in ny i don't think it'll be anything game-changing.

Their staff is super friendly with a wealth of knowledge.

I agree in terms of architecture/store design. I've never been to the store but I've always liked what I saw from pictures of it! Always exciting having something new open up, regardless of whether what it carries can be found elsewhere. However; Totokaelo does have some pretty good buys so I'm definitely intrigued
