BAREFOOT SHAKESPEARE COMPANY PRESENTS<br />
<br />
ALL ONE FOREST<br />
By: Joe Raik<br />
Directed by Phoebe Brooks<br />
Performing June 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
Three young women from different places and times all cross paths in the forest. Before the day is out they will have to contend with the elements, with each other, and with the whole Faery Kingdom. One thing is certain: this is no ordinary forest.<br />
<br />
CYMBELINE<br />
By: William Shakespeare<br />
Directed by Emily Gallagher<br />
Performing August 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, September 1st, 2nd.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
It is 2018 and our country is in crisis: alienated, insular, and divided. In an attempt to preserve tradition, Cymbeline, pressured by his self-serving wife, arranges for his daughter and heir, Imogen, to be married off to a privileged, arrogant example of male toxicity. Her refusal and subsequent foray into the forest in disguise begins a journey fraught with danger, power, and jealousy. Will she persist?<br />

And don't miss the Huma Bhabha (born in Pakistan) sculptures at the B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, the sixth in a series of commissions for the outdoor space. Bhabha's work addresses themes of colonialism, war, displacement, and memories of place. Using found materials and the detritus of everyday life, she creates haunting human figures that hover between abstraction and figuration, monumentality and entropy.<br />

BAREFOOT SHAKESPEARE COMPANY PRESENTS<br />

Performing June 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
Three young women from different places and times all cross paths in the forest. Before the day is out they will have to contend with the elements, with each other, and with a whole Faery Kingdom. One thing is certain: this is no ordinary forest.<br />
<br />
CYMBELINE<br />
By: William Shakespeare<br />
Directed by Emily Gallagher<br />
Performing August 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, September 1st, 2nd.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
It is 2018 and our country is in crisis: alienated, insular, and divided. In an attempt to preserve tradition, Cymbeline, pressured by his self-serving wife, arranges for his daughter and heir, Imogen, to be married off to a privileged, arrogant example of male toxicity. Her refusal and subsequent foray into the forest in disguise begins a journey fraught with danger, power, and jealousy. Will she persist?<br />

<b>Innovation in Healthcare: Why More of the Same is Not the Answer</b><br />
Health care is a complex industry and one that makes innovation difficult and consuming, but necessary. Achieving the Quadruple Aim in healthcare - managing population health, improving patient experience, optimizing clinician and team satisfaction, and lowering costs - remains elusive to many health care organizations. Physicians are experiencing higher than ever rates of professional burnout, patients experience significant challenges with accessing primary and specialty care in a timely and meaningful way, socio-behavioral complexities of care remain unaddressed, health disparities and inequities continue to widen, care coordination between medical neighborhood stakeholders is fragmented, new technologies, pharmaceuticals and devices require an average of 10 years before they penetrate the market, and health care spending consumes nearly 17% of the US GDP, more than any other industrialized nation, while US health system performance is ranked lowest among its peers. As such, the status quo is not sustainable and innovation is not just a good idea, it’s a lifeline for health care. In this conversation, our panelists will share unique health care innovations that disrupt the status quo. Learn how cutting health organizations have created models that are technology-enabled, patient-centered, holistic, accessible, team-based, timely, high quality, data driven, cost-effective, and well coordinated for a diverse portfolio of patients and their communities. Experts and innovators include Toyin Ajayi, MD, MPhil, Chief Health Officer, CityBlock; Vivek Garg, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, New Markets and Business Development, CareMore and Tom Lee, MD, MBA, Founder and Executive Chairman, One Medical, with J. Nwando Olayiwola, MD, MPH, FAAFP, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer, RubiconMD, moderating the discussion<br />

by Jesica Mac Leod<br />
<br />
The big adventure started with a very delayed and almost empty British airways flight, which I do not recommend as they have been going down in quality. I made to NYC JFK 2 h before schedule, passed by a non friendly interrogation at the airport and took the AirTran to Jamaica station where the E express train takes you to the city in 45 min, give or take.<br />

On Tuesday’s night the best free bachata party is at Kanas tapas bar, so I went there. It was full and the sangria and empanadas were waiting for me, along with the best DJ and great dancers, which I have the placer to call my friends.<br />
I stayed for 1 night in alphabet city/East village (the area where avenues’ names are letters and not numbers), with awesome cafes, clubs and restaurants: <br />
Club Cumming is an emotional roller coaster, a must if you like fun art (and who doesn’t?) with live music, a friendly environments and fun sketches of different types, I recommend you to check the schedule to find your fave!<br />
In the same block the restaurant Buenos Aires (6th st), offers delicious authentic Argentinian food (from beef to Italian pasta), if you fancy Italian just cross the park to Gnocco (10th st). <br />

This place is the coffee lovers paradise: Ninth Street Espresso is the best, followed by the Three Seat espresso and Barber, Abrasso and Round K, Third Rail coffee. If you are looking to add bagels, then you are in luck too: Tompkins sq bagels is the place, my favorite is Black seed with the all included bagel with salmon. For a proper breakfast the Clinton St Baking Company has amazing pancakes, be aware to go there earlier because it is very very very busy. For a friendly and tasty breakfast still in Houston st, go to Gaia Italian café, great pastries, sandwiches and coffee!<br />
Now it is dessert time: Spot dessert bar has a lot of creative bites that can be eaten with the eyes, chikaliciuos is also mandatory if you want a special treat. Now some soft ice cream places are in vogue, like Soft Swerve ice cream and Vivi’s Bubble tea. Now let’s talk about creamy ice cream: Big gay ice cream shop serves the best salty caramel, Van Leeuwen offers gourmet ice cream and creative and tasty flavors. If you are adventurous 10 Below has thai style ice cream and il laboratorio del gelato is a very neat place to grab a small scoop. I personally like Davey’s ice cream with their feature flavors (like the dark and light side from star wars, both were sooo yummy!). If you walk to Chinatown you can find the Original Chinatown ice cream factory with green tea and Asian flavors.<br />

There is more than food in that area, the Russian Turkish baths are an old, emphasis on “old” place where artists go to relax their muscles in the ice bath and then have them beaten with palm leaves in the sauna.<br />
The new museum is pay as you wish on Thursdays and some of the exhibits tent to be controversial and have socio-political views.<br />
While walking in NYC always have your camera or phone ready, from street art to small galleries with great design, paintings and installations, some quotes will make you smile and give you live advice (your comfort zone will kill you).<br />

A walk to the meatpacking area, on the west side will allow you to discover great parks and stores, crossing the Washington sq park is always fun, with jazz bands and art installations. The Highline starts at the Whitney museum of Modern art (pay as you wish in Fridays after 6 pm), with great views from their balconies. On the next block the standard Hotel is a must, go to the rooftop to the fancy posh Boom boom room (it looks like a set from a James bond movie). Then go to the fun party at the top of the standard to enjoy the Jacuzzi or the rooftop views with some freshly made crepes. Walking from 14th st to 34th st will allow you to enjoy it against the “traffic”. Don’t forget to stop by the Chelsea market just below the 23rd st entrance. That are mined with astonishing art galleries, actually the astonishing part is inside the galleries! From Picasos to absolutely new art pieces that will blow your mind. <br />

For the TV funs, you can get tickets online for The daily show, SNL, etc, they all have live audiences and it just a thrilling activity to be in front of very talented comedians and actors, sometimes they have even more famous and interesting guests. I love the daily show with Trevor Noah and The late show. The studios are around Hell’s kitchen and Midtown.<br />

If you are in Hell’s kitchen you should check out empanada mama and the thai and Ethiopian cuisine.<br />
The best day for museum lovers is the first Friday of the month. It can turn into a marathon if you consider hitting all the options:<br />
1-The Frick collection on 72nd st and 5th av is worth the visit for both the building and the art inside. They also have activities and concerts.<br />

3-The MOMA is free after 4 PM, I recommend you to arrive 5 min before as sometimes there is a long queue, go straight to the top floor or to whatever they have as a temporary installation/exhibit.<br />

No trip to NYC would be complete without a stroll by the parks. Central park is the top of the list from the gorgeous hills on the north, below 110th st to the Zoo on the south east area, all the park is gorgeous. In the warmer seasons they are free concerts in Summer Stage, and free plays. <br />
Bryant park near Times Sq, is also a must, with free movie screens on Mondays and other activities all year around, next to it the the NY Library, with luxurious reading rooms and exhibits, can offer a fantastic cultural trip in Midtown.<br />
Battery park on the tip of the island holds some iconic sculptures and monuments, also is next to the Ferries that can take you the Statue of Liberty, Governors island, or to Staten island, this last one for free.<br />
NYC can be the dancer paradise. For swing dancing/lindy hop Prohibition productions runs a variety of parties. On Sundays St Maize’s in Williamsburg is a cozy vintage restaurant/pub with live music with the “Baby soda” band and on Thursdays Radegast, also in Brooklyn, offers great German food and bier with great live jazz and swing. On Mondays the Bierhaus bar has live music and fun parties, check the website for more events in gorgeous and vintage locations (www.prohibitionproductions.com). You can continue the party at the Back room, a speak easy with Sletvanas’ band having the best tunes to enjoy a classy and “dry era” cocktails in tea cups and brown bags, lovely place too: deco as a 20’s library or posh living room (check here for the password: www.facebook.com/DelanceyFive). On Tuesdays the party is at Swing 46 in Midtown with George Gee’s band. Thursdays are hot for regulars at Frim fram, or You should be dancing, I can guarantee you will have amazing dances here. Every other Saturday the party is at JCC in the Upper west side with live music and dress up socials.<br />

On Friday I love the Tavern on the green, in Central Park west, live music by Fleur Seule (www.fleurseule.com), also Brooklyn Swings is a good option. For updated info: http://thisweekinswingnyc.com/<br />
On the salsa and bachata side, La vieja guardia, las chicas locas, Taj, Cache and Jimmy Anton’s social are kind of mandatory for the hard-core latin dancers. For an updated calendar: http://www.salsanewyork.com/calendar.htm<br />

NYFW includes two types of shows: Industry and open-to-the-public shows. Unless you're a buyer or work in press, it is unlikely that you'll be able to snag a seat to the heavy hitters. However, you can nab tickets to the public shows here.<br />

<br />
We’ll wait no longer for the gift of sound and vision. He sold the world, fell to earth, jammed with the spiders from Mars—few artists covered more terrain (and crossed more cultural boundaries) than David Bowie. The musician-actor-tastemaker-digital-innovator will be the subject of a Brooklyn Museum exhibition come March 2; handwritten lyrics, wacky outfits, videos and all kinds of rare archival material will highlight the audiovisual extravaganza. <br />

Go and get you ID for free!<br />
New York City residents are now able to sign up for IDNYC – a government-issued identification card that is available to all City residents age 14 and older. Immigration status does not matter. Mayor Bill de Blasio announced this initiative in his State of the City address in January 2014 and less than one year later proudly launched the largest municipal identification card program in the nation.<br />
<br />
Getting Your IDNYC Card:<br />
All New York City residents age 14 and older can get an IDNYC card. Applicants must complete an application and submit it at an IDNYC Enrollment Center. Applicants are also required to present proof of identity and residency in New York City. Many types of documents are accepted, all of which are listed on the documentation page. You must submit your application and proof of identity and residency in person at an IDNYC Enrollment Center or an IDNYC Pop-Up Enrollment Center, which travels to neighborhoods across the City. After you apply for the card, it will be sent to you in the mail.<br />
<br />
The IDNYC card is free for all New Yorkers who apply through December 31, 2018. Cards are valid for five years from the date the application is approved. The application process is accessible to people with limited English proficiency and people with disabilities.<br />
<br />
Using Your IDNYC Card:<br />
The IDNYC card is an accessible and secure document that enables residents to access City services and grant admission to City buildings, such as schools. In addition, the card can be presented as proof of identification for interacting with the police and is an accepted form of identification for opening a banking account at select financial institutions.<br />
<br />
You are able to use your IDNYC card at any public library in New York. The card can be integrated with your account at the New York, Brooklyn, and Queens Public Library Systems. This is the first time a single card can be utilized across all three systems. To use your IDNYC card at a library, ask a librarian or a library clerk at your local branch to connect your IDNYC card with your library account or sign up for a new library account and use your IDNYC card as your library card.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a number of additional benefits are available to IDNYC cardholders including the opportunity to sign up for free one-year memberships at 40 of the city's leading museums, zoos, concert halls, and botanical gardens. The IDNYC card offers a full package of exciting benefits that includes discounts on movie tickets, sporting events, prescription drugs, fitness and health centers, supermarkets, and New York City attractions. The card is also accepted at a number of banks and credit unions in the city to open a bank account.<br />
<br />
For information about the benefits of the IDNYC Veteran Designation, visit the veteran designation page.<br />
<br />
Card Availability:<br />
The IDNYC card is now available at Enrollment Centers across all five boroughs. You can also use our map to get directions to your nearest Enrollment Center.<br />
<br />
Privacy and Confidentiality:<br />
The City will protect the confidentiality of all Municipal ID Card applicants to the maximum extent allowable by applicable federal and state law, and in accordance with Local Law 35.<br />
<br />
In addition, the City will not ask applicants for information about their immigration status for purposes of obtaining the card in accordance with Executive Orders 34 and 41.<br />
<br />

The New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex and Store at Grand Central Terminal is back with its annual Holiday Train Show, whose layout features Lionel trains traveling through a two-level, 34-foot-long miniature New York City and countryside scene. Vintage trains from the museum’s collection, including New York Central models, travel all the way to the diorama’s North Pole. <br />

Ai Weiwei: Good Fences Make Good Neighbors<br />
JAN 11, 2017 — FEB 11, 2018<br />
The Public Art Fund continues its celebration of their 40th anniversary year with a major citywide exhibit by world-renowned artist Ai Weiwei. Employing actual fences set in public areas throughout New York City, this unusual outdoor show will highlight the potent symbolism of barriers and walls at a time when they have become a hot topic. Sites chosen for the installation include Essex Street Market, Cooper Union, bus shelters in Brooklyn and Queens' Flushing Meadows Corona Park, along with other spots throughout the five boroughs. <br />
<br />
Downton Abbey: The Exhibition<br />
JAN 11, 2017 — JAN 31, 2018<br />
<br />
Fans of Downton Abbey will relish this immersive exhibition, which features set re-creations, costumes from the show and thousands of artifacts. Guests will find themselves transported to the post-Edwardian England era, with the show’s characters and the house coming to life. There are also opportunities to book private dinners or partake in special dinner events. (The exhibition takes place at 218 W. 57th St.)<br />
<br />
NYC Ice-Skating Rinks<br />
JAN 11, 2017 — MAR 31, 2018<br />
<br />
New York City’s many ice-skating rinks are synonymous with winter and the first glimpse of the holiday season. If you prefer your skating experience to come with a killer view, take a spin at Wollman Rink (open late-October through March), with its amazing skyline vistas from inside Central Park, or enjoy the spectacular surroundings of the seasonal Rink at Rockefeller Center (in December, the famous tree will be there too). The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park, which is open October to March, is another fine option with stunning architecture nearby. For an indoor experience that will make you feel like a professional hockey or skating star, visit City Ice Pavilion in Queens or the Aviator Sports & Events Center in Brooklyn; both operate year-round.<br />
<br />
Club 57: Film, Performance, and Art in the East Village, 1978–1983<br />
JAN 11 — APR 1<br />
Forty years ago, dirt-cheap rents and an edgy vibe lured arty types to swarm downtown venues like CBGB’s and the Mudd Club. One such place was Club 57 on St. Marks Place, which hosted evenings like the "Monster Movie Club" and "Name That Noise: A Punk Rock Game Show," and attracted artists and performers such as Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, John Sex and Ann Magnuson. The scrappy venue is now the subject of this MoMA retrospective, which looks back to a moment when New York was dirtier and more dangerous—but also more alive with creative possibilities.<br />

Chelsea<br />
When you’re in the mood for a stimulating walk, don’t just traverse the length of the High Line—disembark at 20th or 23rd Streets and spend an afternoon strolling around the City’s art epicenter. The Chelsea gallery district occupies about 10 blocks (from 18th to 28th Streets, between 10th and 11th Avenues), and features contemporary art in every medium. This is the place to see the biggest names alongside the most notable up-and-comers. <br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• Gagosian shows boldface names such as Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol and Andreas Gursky.<br />
• Matthew Marks’ roster of legends include Jasper Johns and Nan Goldin.<br />
• International powerhouse Hauser & Wirth shows intriguing newcomers.<br />
• 1980s icon Mary Boone features artists who range from the universally known (Ross Bleckner) to the almost there (Ai Weiwei and KAWS).<br />
• 303 Gallery’s top-flight names include multimedia artist Doug Aitken and sculptor Mary Heilmann.<br />
• Luhring Augustine tends toward the edgy via Pipilotti Rist, Larry Clark and Christopher Wool.<br />
• At Sikkema Jenkins, Kara Walker has caused a sensation with her bold paintings that address race and gender.<br />
• Aperture focuses on photography (see what we did there?).<br />
• David Zwirner’s range from the canonized (Piet Mondrian) to the all-but (Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon).<br />
<br />

Lower East Side<br />
Young artists may have moved their lofts to Brooklyn from the historically gritty Lower East Side, but plenty of their work remains on display here. And though the neighborhood is increasingly characterized by glitzy hotels and glittery bars, the predominant vibe of the work in this neighborhood is early career and edgy. The must-see galleries are gathered east of Bowery and between Houston and Grand Streets, abutting Chinatown and Nolita, making the district ideal for walking off brunch—or killing time while you’re waiting for a table.<br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• Gavin Brown’s Enterprise is reliably surprising, as seen in the work of sculptor Urs Fischer and video artist Michel Auder.<br />
• Miguel Abreu concentrates on multimedia- and performance-focused newcomers.<br />
• 47 Canal’s diverse offerings include Michele Abeles’ photo collages and Josh Kline’s political sculptures.<br />
• Sargent’s Daughters features provocative female artists.<br />
• Salon 94 Bowery shows crowd-pleasing artists like Marilyn Minter, Nate Lowman, Lyle Ashton Harris and David Benjamin Sherry.<br />
<br />

Upper East Side<br />
Befitting its tony reputation, the Upper East Side has a stately set of galleries, many in converted townhouses. Downtowners such as Gagosian have opened up outposts here, with a polished selection of work. The district is located in the mid-70s between Park Avenue and Central Park, but there are some outliers.<br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• Acquavella has a slate of big contemporary figures—you may catch a Pollock, Warhol or Rothko on view.<br />
• Gagosian’s uptown branch shows British painters Damien Hirst and Cecily Brown, among others.<br />
• Michael Werner specializes in paintings by modern masters.<br />
• Gladstone 64 skews more impish than most in the area, with moody canvases from the likes of Elizabeth Peyton and Carroll Dunham (Lena’s dad).<br />
<br />

Soho<br />
In the 1970s and ’80s, Soho was the City’s best-known art district, though these days the neighborhood is more famous for its retail and restaurants. Still, there is plenty of work here that is not to be missed. The vibrant, modern vibe of the area’s top galleries goes perfectly with a shopping trip.<br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• Team Gallery shows Ryan McGinley and Cory Arcangel, two former enfant terribles who’ve grown into major contemporary figures.<br />
• The Drawing Center’s work illustrates the power of the pen and pencil.<br />
• Deitch Projects specializes in the eternally hip, from the likes of Suicide musician Alan Vega and Kenny Scharf.<br />
• Peter Freeman Inc. focuses on 20th-century pop art and minimalism (think Mel Bochner and Richard Serra).<br />
<br />

Williamsburg and Bushwick<br />
If you want to be “down with the kids,” put these neighborhoods on your list and keep an eye on them for the next few years. At least one major Chelsea gallery has opened an additional location here, and although there hasn’t been an incoming flight of major gallerists, there are plenty of scrappy independents that show provocative, satisfying work. The adventure increases as you move east; the ones listed below are within shouting distance of the Morgan Avenue stop on the L train.<br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• The way-out outpost of the longtime Chelsea gallery Luhring Augustine Bushwick is mind-bendingly eclectic, with exhibits ranging from digital art by Mike Kelley to pieces from the Middle Ages.<br />
• Microscope focuses on cutting-edge digital and performance art.<br />
• Signal and Clearing show the cream of the crop of young Brooklyn artists (think Sebastian Black and Jordan Kasey).<br />
<br />

Dumbo<br />
A more established Brooklyn art neighborhood occupies about a five-block radius adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge and along the scenic waterfront. On the cobblestone streets you’ll find diverse offerings, both in artwork and exhibition spaces, from young newcomers to curators who’ve been at it for decades. <br />
<br />
Don’t Miss:<br />
• Art in General is a nonprofit enterprise that’s been showcasing artists who are lesser known (but shouldn’t be) since 1981.<br />
• United Photo Industries displays up-and-coming photographers who specialize in social documentary.<br />
• Klompching Gallery has experimental photography by new and established artists.<br />
• A.I.R. gives female artists a prominent neighborhood platform.<br />

Across the globe, long-term care systems are confronting growing demand, more complex patient needs, and limited capacity. Policy-makers face the increasing challenge of developing high quality and sustainable strategies to address the needs of aging populations. In many countries, the balance of long-term care is shifting from institutions towards home- and community-based care, which is generally more desirable from the patient perspective, and more cost-effective from a government perspective. But what are the costs of this shift to friends and family members providing informal care? What innovations can support the increasing role of home care? What promises and perils might assistive technologies offer? This panel features leading experts in law and policy from Canada, Germany and the United States, and will explore how innovations in financing and delivery are reshaping the landscape of long-term care.<br />

033017dailytrump.jpg<br />
A few months ago, The Daily Show announced that they would be paying tribute to Donald Trump's unique relationship with Twitter by creating a library full of his most memorable tweets. That library is finally opening this weekend in Manhattan, so you can covfefe yourself down there to refresh your memory on Arianna Huffington's attractiveness, Trump's views on people who drink Diet Coke, and his various self-owns.<br />
<br />
In a press release, the Daily Show team explains what's in store:<br />
<br />
Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has been honored with a meticulously curated memorial library commemorating the documents of historical value crafted during his time as leader of the free world. Continuing this hallowed tradition, and seeing no need to wait for him to leave office, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah will honor our current president with The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, the first of its kind, showcasing our Commander in Chief’s preferred vessel for communicating with the public, his Twitter feed.<br />
The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library will open its doors to the public on Friday June 16th, and will remain open through Sunday, at which point it will close—possibly forever, possibly not forever, check out sex tape. Admission is free, it's open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday/Saturday/Sunday, and it will feature "a fully interactive and hands-on experience for hands of all sizes."<br />
It's located at 3 West 57th Street, which is just a stone's throw from Trump Tower. As you can see in the Google Map image below, the location looks very, very precedential.Jesica Levingston MacLeodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08606627945507279811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987846123355201909.post-42099366712856964112017-06-16T16:36:00.005-07:002017-06-16T16:36:47.714-07:00Daily show twitter library!Daily Show's 'Donald J.

Continuing this hallowed tradition, and seeing no need to wait for him to leave office, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah will honor our current president with The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, the first of its kind, showcasing our Commander in Chief’s preferred vessel for communicating with the public, his Twitter feed.<br />
The Daily Show Presents: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library will open its doors to the public on Friday June 16th, and will remain open through Sunday, at which point it will close—possibly forever, possibly not forever, check out sex tape. Admission is free, it's open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday/Saturday/Sunday, and it will feature "a fully interactive and hands-on experience for hands of all sizes."<br />
It's located at 3 West 57th Street, which is just a stone's throw from Trump Tower. As you can see in the Google Map image below, the location looks very, very precedential.Jesica Levingston MacLeodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08606627945507279811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987846123355201909.post-22914301275928996092017-06-16T12:25:00.000-07:002017-06-16T12:25:28.301-07:00Tavern on the green live music is backEnter on park west 72 nd st for a great jazz swing night with Fleur Seil at 7 pm saturday and sundayJesica Levingston MacLeodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08606627945507279811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3987846123355201909.post-64465460846650832162017-05-31T08:56:00.003-07:002017-05-31T08:56:46.784-07:00SciCafe and a happy healthy brainSciCafe<br />

BAREFOOT SHAKESPEARE COMPANY PRESENTS<br />
<br />
ALL ONE FOREST<br />
By: Joe Raik<br />
Directed by Phoebe Brooks<br />
Performing June 7th, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
Three young women from different places and times all cross paths in the forest. Before the day is out they will have to contend with the elements, with each other, and with a whole Faery Kingdom. One thing is certain: this is no ordinary forest.<br />
<br />
CYMBELINE<br />
By: William Shakespeare<br />
Directed by Emily Gallagher<br />
Performing August 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, September 1st, 2nd.<br />
All shows at Summit Rock in Central Park.<br />
<br />
It is 2018 and our country is in crisis: alienated, insular, and divided. In an attempt to preserve tradition, Cymbeline, pressured by his self-serving wife, arranges for his daughter and heir, Imogen, to be married off to a privileged, arrogant example of male toxicity. Her refusal and subsequent foray into the forest in disguise begins a journey fraught with danger, power, and jealousy. Will she persist?<br />
