Time Out New York

We are sad to report that barbecue season will soon come to a close. Luckily, the folks at Hudson River Park are saying “goodbye” to the season in a big, big way. This weekend, the longest-running blues festival in New York is returning to the outdoor park for a day of blues, barbecue and all the fun that comes with it.

Celestial events are often obscured by NYC’s skyscrapers and light noise, but in the rare moments (the once-in-a-blue-moon moments) that we can catch them, we should. NYC was blessed with a rare super blue moon on Monday, August 19, but we’ll be able to see the big bright moon for the next two days.

What is sure to become one of the best summer concerts to take place in NYC this season is a bit of a... secret?. Famous DJ and music producer Zedd has just announced that he will be performing a free pop-up show inside a yet-unnamed NYC bodega on August 22. The catch: only 25 fans will get the chance to attend the experience, which will feature never-before-heard tracks from Zedd's first new album in nearly a decade, Telos, set to drop on August 30.

Cecilia Gentili, a trans activist and former sex worker, has been referred to by some as the Marsha P. Johnson of our time. That’s why, when she passed away unexpectedly in February at the age of 52, her massive funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral drew hundreds of mourners on a Thursday afternoon.

Whoever said New York isn’t for dogs isn’t looking hard enough. While we may be a concrete jungle, there are plenty of places around New York to explore with your four-legged friend, from a luxe stay at a pet-friendly hotel to a sprawl of dog parks across all five boroughs. And yes, there are even spots to get reiki with your pet. And while there are a number of dog-friendly restaurants you can bring your pup to, this dog food brand is bringing us a restaurant weekend that both man and his best friend can enjoy.

The first-ever dog restaurant weekend has arrived in New York

Just as the prophecy foretold, “Pizza in the morning. Pizza in the evening. Pizza at supper time. When pizza is on a bagel you can have pizza anytime.” And while the last line doesn’t apply to everyone (except for me, Bagel Bites for life), in New York, the best time to eat a piece of pizza is anytime.

New York has the best pizza in the world, and we have the list to prove it

For 12 years, Yuja Haraguchi has manned his two-in-one restaurant concepts under one roof: Okonomi and Yuji Ramen. With only 12 seats at his disposal, Haraguchi’s Greenpoint restaurant serves a hearty Japanese breakfast of roasted and raw fish in the AM, always served with rice, vegetables and miso soup. But in the PM, Yuji Ramen takes over with soul-warming bowls of noodles alongside springy mazeman ramen. Now, on August 12, the Brooklyn restaurant will be popping up in Manhattan for a fall residency. And if you haven’t caught the pattern yet, the restaurant will operate for 12 weeks.

If you haven’t noticed, smash burgers are having a moment in NYC.
