Tour | Alternative New York Tour


Time to learn about the other New York City; the city that nurtured political, cultural and intellectual revolutions. The city that gave birth to punk rock, the beat poets and graffiti. The city that has survived two centuries of mass riots, crime and corruption, murder and mayhem. The city that has flourished in spite of economic and social hardship.

Tour | Bushwick Graffiti and Street Art Tour


New York City is a mecca for graffiti and street art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world. Bushwick, in a working class district on the north side of Brooklyn adjacent to Williamsburg, has been attracting artists for some time now. The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist. If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick.

Join a panel of librarian Stephanie Whelan (Seward Park), author Jason Fry (THE JUPITER PIRATES), and editor Andrew Harwell (Harper Collins) for a discussion about the genre's past, present, and future.

Concert | Synth Sounds: Megafortress / Sunwatchers


"Besides his voice, piano seems to be Bill Gillim’s primary instrument. But where Perfume Genius’s Mike Hadreas and Grouper’s Liz Harris have made unique, majestic use of the keys-plus-voice equation this year, Gillim pulls back with Megafortress. He opts for tender clusters of chords, allowing his songs to be driven more by synth hums and hovering blocks of nothing." - Jason Heller, Pitchfork
