Well dust off your fez, this Monday The Obscura Society will lead guests on a tour of the space. According to the organizers, “while only the initiated are permitted to check books out, head librarian Tom Savini will be guiding us through the collection and offering a rare opportunity to explore the library's stacks.”

thrusday and friday fun activities


Help us kick off the 2nd annual Outdoor Rise!

Revision Lounge is hosting the opening event of Outdoor Rise and it’s going to be epic. Starting at 5:00PM all of the outdoors community is invited for drink specials, music, raffles, and prizes.

If you’ve never been to Revision Lounge & Gallery, you’re in for a real treat. It’s the ultimate “green” bar — everything here is recycled or made from found objects, from the car-hood DJ booth and bike-chain chandeliers, to a bar made from compressed shredded money and recycled glass bottles. Settle into one of the lounge’s bathtub couches or a ski chair on the back patio and enjoy an IPA or a creative cocktail. They’ll be designing a signature festival drink just for us, so come find out what’s in it and raise a glass with your fellow Risers!

get your free crazy pyes from orange is the new black

OITNB to Launch Crazy Pyes Food Truck Starting in NYC

Netflix recently released the second season of Orange is the New Black, the show that follows the misadventures of a group of female inmates. Today, Netflix announced plans to roll out Crazy Pyes, a promotional food truck that will give out free pie and chocolate-and-vanilla swirled ice-cream cones. Both items nod at lines spoken by one of OITNB's most beloved characters: Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren (played by the actress Uzo Aduba). Her season-one catchphrase was, "I threw my pie for you."
This isn't the first time Netflix has sought to capitalize on the significant role food plays in the show. Just last month the company announced plans to release an OITNB cookbook.

While Mexico City has already gotten a taste of the Crazy Pyes truck, dates and locations for U.S. stops have only been released for the New York City area. Additional cities will be announced later this month.

Thursday, June 12: 4-8 p.m.: Broome Street at West Broadway
Friday, June 13: 4-8 p.m.: Between 22th and 23rd streets, near Madison Square Park
Saturday, June 14: 2-6 p.m.: Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at North 7th St.
Sunday, June 15: 1-5 p.m.: West side of Central Park near Columbus Circle

Amazzzzing concerts and museums this week

check out the calendar at your right for the complete list :P

Janelle Monae
Where: Prospect Park Bandshell
When: 8pm
The Celebrate Brooklyn! outdoor concert series returns with a show from propulsive soul-pop stylist Janelle Monáe. The singer, known for her glamorous androgynous style, recently covered David Bowie's "Heroes" for Beats of the Beautiful Game, a visual soundtrack for the World Cup. Arrive early if you want to snag a spot close to the stage; she's having a moment, and opening night always draws a crowd.

Thrusday
Pharell williams in Rockefeller Plaza 6-9 am

Friday in central park: demi lovato 6-9 am

Friday bachata in Bryant park at 6 pm

Target First Saturdays: Brooklyn Pride
Where: Brooklyn Museum
When: 5–11pm
Every June the five boroughs come alive with parades, festivals and parties that bring the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community's heritage to the forefront of public attention. Be part of one of the celebrations at this Saturday event, which showcases music, drag performance, pop-up gallery talks and ballet. Artist Alexander Kargaltsev, who suffered persecution as a gay man in Russia, will talk about his experiences and photo series Last Polaroids, which documents his time in exile. A ballet performance of The Firebird (composed by Igor Stravinsky) and a voguing workshop led by Benny Ninja are also among the evening's happenings.

Museum Mile Festival
Where: Fifth Avenue, between 82nd and 105th Streets
When: 6–9pm
While it's easy to spend all day in a single New York City cultural institution, this once-a-year affair gives visitors a three-hour period to sample a variety of the very finest of them—for free. The 23-block stretch of Fifth Avenue known as Museum Mile is home to eight participating institutions—El Museo del Barrio, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cooper-Hewitt (whose galleries are closed for renovation), the Jewish Museum, the National Academy Museum, Neue Galerie and the Museum of the City of New York—offering extended evening hours. In addition to all the art inside, there are plenty of outdoor festivities: face painting, chalk drawing, live music and other block-party-type events.

• Meet NASA astronauts and space scientists

• Climb into a real flight simulator

• Experience microgravity with a (miniature) drop tower

• Build space planes, controll satellites, and design radiation protection for the next generation of astronauts
