Starting at 8pm, fifty-odd comedians (including Josh Gondelman, Janelle James, and

  With the Supreme Court upholding the travel ban and Justice Kennedy announcing his retirement, this past week has certainly not been ideal and I am feeling pretty stressed out, personally. Maybe I can start next week off on a different note by waking up a little earlier than usual on Monday and heading to Brooklyn Bridge Park for a sunrise Abhaya yoga class at 7:30am. The idea of greeting the morning while stretching and meditating at Pier 6 with the Manhattan skyline behind you sounds pret

  Celebrating Independence Day in New York City this year? The East River is calling your name then.

Weeksville Heritage Center, once the second largest independent Black community in pre-Civil War America, and now a historical site and archive in Crown Heights, hosts a celeb
