Hell’s Kitchen Street Fair
The weather is a bit lame today, not like the lucky ducks enjoying sun on Fire Island, but 9th Avenue is buzzing with outdoor BBQ and freshly squeezed juices to wash it all down.

Reasons To Love NYC
Ice Coffee Season Is Here
Sometime about 6 months ago, Jack’s opened up on this little strip of Sixth Avenue to little fanfare, but flash forward to the warm weather months and its four-table patio is poised to be the best spot for first dates and easy-breezy catch-ups.
Save Room For Crepe Cake
Summer is coming so you don’t want to overdo it, but sumptuous layers of Italian crepes and cream surely won’t kill you. Nolita’s Caffé Falai has lots of goodies to choose from so just hate me/thank me later.
Try The Short Ribs At Il Buco
You haven’t really lived until you’ve tried all the small sharing plates and finished them off with the short ribs at NoHo’s memorable and scene-y market-style restaurant, Il Buco Alimentari. The menu is wide-reaching with lots of Italian influences, but the tender and flavorful hunk of meat is the best way to down that bottle of red.

At times, off-Broadway shows can be a big draw for people looking for something a bit more transgressive, like Here Lies Love (above). The standing-room, dance musical set to Fatboy Slim beats is about the popular and extravagant Filipina politician and ex-First Lady, Imelda Marcos.

It will re-open on June 18 for what producers hope will be an open-ended run. No comment from La Streisand.
Happy Cinco!
Chilaquiles with carnitas
Of the slew of Mexican spots cashing in on their Mexican-icity today, Diablo Royale gets my local vote because they’ve been going strong all weekend long and those airy windows are perfect for street creeping, um, watching. The food has always been just O.K., but love me some unlimited sunday Cinco boozing; $25 for all the mimosas and sangrias you can shovel back with your tacos.
Ideas For Greener Living At Yesterday’s Bowery Street Fair
Bowery was hopping all day with folks trying to make the most of our city spaces, from re-appropriating unused real estate to challenging conventional approaches to design, waste and construction. Innovative concepts like a floating, river-based swimming pool, eager composters and tech-friendly building projects highlight a few of the very creative projects brewing at Ideas City.
