Life in and around Hell’s Kitchen, NYC
Tomorrow night Dance Manhattan – a Chelsea-based dance studio – are holding a free Jazz/Swing Moon Dance over on Pier 84, next to the Intrepid. Turns out it’s been on for the past two Sunday nights as well and just slipped by us. It’ll also be on for two more weeks after tomorrow so we’re not too late.
Here’s what you can look forward to tomorrow:
- 6:30 – 7:10: Free Charleston Lesson with Joe Palmer & Suzanne Temple
- 7:15-10pm: Live Music with Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks
- 8pm: Performances by Joe & Suzanne (Peabody), Paolo Lanna & friends (20s Charleston)
Unfortunately, since it’s being held outdoors, if it’s raining it’ll be cancelled. And wouldn’t you know it, the forecast for tomorrow is rain. Fingers crossed?
The event has been held annually for a number of years. To give you a taste of what to expect, here’s a video of the event in 2011.
As mentioned yesterday, the Fashion Center BID held their annual Kite Flight event on the top floor of the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Hundreds of people turned out, and the weather was perfect flying conditions, making the day a huge success, and a great farewell to summer.
There was a build-your-own-kite station set up:
…and even some live music:
A great day overall.
From 1pm — 4pm tomorrow, the Fashion Center BID will be taking over the roof of the Port Authority Bus Terminal for an afternoon of high-flying action. Per the site:
…featuring kite decorating with Free Arts NYC, Ricardo Pascal and his miniature Mighty Kites, kite expert Glenn Davidson and friends, street games with Materials for the Arts, the always popular face painting by Agostino Arts, AcroYoga demonstrations from Om Factory, jugglers, unicyclists, and even more! In addition to the free food court, Band of Bicycles will be blending cool fruit smoothies with pedal power. All of this is topped off with an incredible musical performance by Louie and Subanda, and a special performance by Talina.
This is the 9th year the event has been on, and it’s completely free! There’ll even be stations to build your own kite apparently, for those who don’t always keep one handy.
See the Fashion Center’s site for more information.
Blue Dog opened a new store on W 50th St this week, between 8th & 9th Ave, and to celebrate are giving out free coffees, as discovered by Midtown Lunch.
