This weekend = Mind boggling creative fun!

Here are two kick-ass looking, inspirational, community based crazy creative events happening this weekend:

Figment, an all out anything goes art fest on governor's island (which I'll have to do an entire post about sometime soon)

And Come Out and Play where hundreds of new, innovative games are taking place all over our city.

And, as promised, both are FREE!!! I only bring you guys the best, natch.

The Happiest Happy Hour

Where can you find Guinness for one (count em) ONE dollar in the city?

Greenwich Treehouse on Thursdays from 5-6 pm my friends! Their beat the clock special on Thursdays is amazing, all draft beers are

5-6pm = $1
6-7pm= $2
7-8pm= $3

Ummm, yea. It's AMAZING!

PS Plug: I host $3 trivia (winner takes all) at 7pm on Monday nights at the place when their usual happy hour ($3 drafts, $4 house drinks) is extended until 8pm. So come to that too!

Back with a Vengeance!

I know how you've all missed me, you've cried nearly every day wondering what free and cheap things will be had in the city without Lauren around? Fear not, summer is nearly upon us (the best time for bargain hunters in this little place known as NYC) and my blog is BACK! (enter applause here)

Well, I've got some great activities lined up this week to apologize for my LOOONNNGGG overdue absence. This post features free everything, from beer to music, even a little foot rub, so enjoy!

FRIDAY, May 1st, Free Tequila Tastings!
SATURDAY, May 2nd, Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May - when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores.

Just like it sounds, check here for deets: http://www.freecomicbookday.com/

SUNDAY, MAY 3rd, Rockin Festival

Free beer? Live music? Crafty workshops? Bike giveaways? All in my new favorite borough of Brooklyn? (I'm behind I know)

Check it out!

Seriously, SERIOUSLY, I heart NY.

Oh what a weekend!

Hello my loves!

This weekend is sure to rock, literally, especially if you are a fan of a little place known as Broadway.

First, HAIR
seeing as this is the 40th anniversary of a little show which premiered at The Public Theater back in the day, Joe's in the park is presenting a free concert in the incredibly gorgeous Delecorte theater in central park. Best yet, tickets are FREE (if you get in line early enough to get them!). Read my earlier posts re: Shakespeare in the park on how to get tickets and stay content while you wait in line. The too dreamy for words Johnathan Groff from Spring Awakening will be playing Claude, while I hear the next big thing to come from the cast is the breakout star, Maya Sharpe. Rock it out and save me a place in line!

The show is Sat the 22 through Monday the 24th. Show starts at 7, tickets are handed out at 1, get in line at daybreak :)


Next, Broadway Flea Market
Every year the Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights Aids hosts every (rich) theater-go-ers dream. A chance to bid on broadway prizes ranging from autographed soundtracks to real life walk on's in your favorite broadway show. AMAZING! Still fun for the rest of us cheapsters you can spend the day making donations to take pictures with your favorite celeb and oogling the goods! The best time to get there is between 4-7 when the bidding heats up and the celebs come out! Don't miss it!

Sunday, Sept 23rd on Shubert Alley and west 44th street, 10am to 7pm!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Today from 12-4 in union square time out new york hosts their back to schol blowout. featuring a battle of the bands, free food and treats and a spin on the time out new york prize wheel (if you bring a canned good to donate) it's a blast.

The Art Parade Comes to Town!

Some days I ask myself, where can I find glittery half naked people hula hooping on roller skates, wal mart protestors "asking" for lower wages, blow up purple octupi and an all out crazy art filled explosion? and on those days I am answered "the art parade of course!" Lucky for us it comes to town tomorrow, Saturday the 8th at 4pm. Running on West Broadway between Houston and Grand it truly is a sight to be scene (and loudly yelled into), get there early for a good spot!
