Lincoln Center is throwing a free summer festival with hundreds of events

Lincoln Center is throwing a free summer festival with hundreds of events

Following the past years’ success, Lincoln Center is gearing up to launch the third annual Summer for the City festival.

From June 12 through August 10, New Yorkers will get to attend over 200 free or choose-what-you-pay events that span a variety of topics, genres and  locations.

You can read through the entire calendar right here but standouts include virtual reality experience The Dream Machine, which features five distinct game-like interactive performances; a night of opera and drag with two superstar queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Monét X Change and Sapphira Cristál; and a silent disco night as part of India Week with DJ Rajuju Brown.

Also on the docket are dance classes, film screenings, outdoor concerto performances, wellness workshops and much more. 

It is almost insane that all participating events are gratis to attend, so make use of it!

Last year, visual designer Clint Ramos completely transformed the performing arts center’s campus and, given that he’s part of the project again this year, we suspect the destination to look just as extravagant again.

The city’s largest outdoor dance floor with a massive, 10-foot-wide disco ball—The Dance Floor at Josie Robertson Plaza—will return for social dance nights, silent discos and more giant parties.

The Garden, on the other hand, is a greenhouse-like oasis that you’ll want to relax in all day long. 

As usual, the center’s underground parking garage and driveway will serve as a speakeasy-inspired performance venue called The Underground at Jaffe Drive, while pop-up dining options will likely pepper the entire campus. 

Clearly, the staff at Lincoln Center has thought of it all.

Tickets to all the events will go on sale on May 16 right here

Bar Primi brings its casual Italian eats to the Penn District

Bar Primi brings its casual Italian eats to the Penn District

For a decade, Bar Primi has been a reliable go-to for New Yorkers craving a good pasta all’Amatriciana or a four-clove tangle of linguine. And, now, the Bowery staple from NoHo Hospitalitythe folks behind fellow downtown favorites Locanda Verde, The Dutch and Lafayette—is getting an uptown sibling, with a new location in Penn District.

Debuting today, the latest Bar Primi at 349 West 33rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues takes over that midtown stretch around Penn Station that real estate developers are trying to fancy up by calling it “Penn District.”

RECOMMENDED: The 26 best Italian restaurants in NYC, from fine-dining spots to weeknight pasta joints

The presence of Primi will graciously class up the area, with its “primi piatti-focused menu,” Italian-inspired cocktails and a lush outdoor dining area hidden away from the bustle of the neighborhood.

Regulars at the Bowery location will see many old favorites on the menu, including dishes that were on the original opening menu almost a decade ago: meatballs in sugo, pappardelle with ragu Bolognese, Vesuvio scampi with spicy rock shrimp and sea bass alla Griglia with olive muffuletta, among others. On the dolce end of things, of course that famed tiramisu will make the move to midtown, along with other sweet offerings like lemon cream zeppoli and pistachio gelato with fennel caramello.

From a Calacatta Viola marble bar, the beverage team will be pouring a cocktail menu that toasts to all things Italian: think a Piazza Julep with Cynar, bourbon, grapefruit, lime, raspberry syrup and mint, served in a sunflower ceramic, or a Sicilian Daiquiri with rum, lime, pistachio orgeat, pistachio oil and a pistachio sugar rim.

And, as seems to be a trend these days, there will even be Italian Jello-O shots on offer: a Negroni jello shot by Solid Wiggles, to be exact. Complementing the cocktails, there will be a wine program highlighting indigenous Italian grape varieties and a beer list featuring local selections on tap, like Greenpoint IPA.

The midtown Bar Primi will first open for dinner (hours are Sundays through Thursdays from 5pm to 11pm, and Fridays and Saturdays until midnight), with brunch and lunch to come.
