International Objects & Carmine’s
Get excited for summer because all the great institutions in NYC are starting to release their schedules/calendars for their upcoming free or low-cost performances! Lincoln Center, Elsewhere, Bryant Park, Knockdown Center… and more. Be sure to start adding everything you see and read about to your calendar so you don’t forget to attend. For our Rachels’ Recs this week I had to make a last-minute audible because on Sunday I saw a show I enjoyed so much. And second, was your request asking where I did Pizaa Friday™ this week. Don’t forget to check out our stories on Instagram every Friday to submit your own Rachel’s Recs request.
I really did have an entirely different Rachel’s Rec ready to go for you this week but I’m telling you, when I saw this show, I knew I had to share it! Local Objects features artwork bordering on the line of object or art, and lucky for us, we don’t have to decide. They want us to view the work with an open mind. I absolutely loved many pieces but on top of that, the INCREDIBLE views from the fifth and sixth floor are with the trip alone to this gallery located in deep Bushwick. Of note, their elevator is currently not working.
Your request this week was, “Where’s pizza Friday?”. And first of all, how did you know I celebrate Pizza Friday™?! Haha. But yes, for nearly a decade every Friday, my husband and I have had pizza. But of course, Fridays in NYC are always the best. This week we were lucky enough to have our friends with a nice backyard invite us over for pies from Carmine’s. Truly one of my favorite slices in the city, Carmine’s is located off the Graham L and is delicious. Pro-tip: grab a slice from the slice joint on the left and bring it to sit at the bar on the restaurant side and get a drink!
Don’t forget you can have a custom New York City itinerary just like this, made specifically for you with our Curated Days!
