New York City Events June 2010
NYC Insider Guide Top Picks
June in New York City is delightful. Not too hot and Central Park is constantly full with tennis, baseball, bicycles, roller blades and people just lounging in Sheep Meadow. Dining outside is a very NY thing to do, especially at a sidewalk cafe, or grabbing cocktails on one of our many beautiful roof decks. Many New Yorkers escape on the weekends to local beaches, such as the Hamptons and the Jersey Shore.

Since so many New Yorkers are away for the summer, this is a great time to get half price to hundreds of events and tours around the City, through GoldStar - it's free to join and definitely worth looking at their offers.

Adam Pascal in Concert at Feinsteins |
|||
|
June 20-21, 2010 Feinstein's at Loews Regency Premium Tickets- $72 |
||
If you love the music from RENT, Adam Pascal is a must-see! The always-sold-out show includes Broadway tunes, classic rock and songs from his latest album, Me and Larry. We all know performers put on their best shows in their home towns! Prior songlists include "One Song Glory" (Rent), "Maybe This Time" (Cabaret) and "New York State of Mind" (Billy Joel). As you read on my Broadway page, Adam is an old, dear friend I've loved to watch perform for over 25 years, including the original off-broadway premiere of RENT. Adam NEVER disappoints! If you're lucky enough to be in NYC on June 20 or 21, get your Adam Pascal tickets now, or learn more. |

Memorial Day Weekend In Greenwich Village, near NYU, on the sidewalks of University Place from East 10th Street, running south along the side of Washington Square Park to W 3rd Street. The South end of the show, Schwartz Plaza, is also known as Bobkin Lane. Great weekend to walk around the Village and see tons of artwork displayed by original artists.
