Picture this: you walk into the Shiner Theatre at the Sheen Center for Thought & Culture at 18 Bleecker Street near Elizabeth Street and it's completely dark.

Here at Time Out New York, we like to fashion ourselves amateur meteorologists. So, when we heard that it was going to thunderstorm last night, we were delighted at the mere of thought of cleaner, crisper air defining our today.

Opened in 1937, Le Veau d’Or (129 East 60th Street) was a longtime favorite of Upper East Siders. Owned by just three families in its 87-year history, the French bistro drew clientele of all kinds.

The free event, titled "Step Into Hopper" pays homage to three of the artist's renowned works from July 19 through July 22 in Gansevoort Plaza (38 Gansevoort St.)
