Stumped on what to do this weekend? Weve got you covered!
With such a big city, and so much to do, it can be difficult to find new ways to shake up your weekend. Its easy to fall into a routine of boozy brunches and late night dinners, so were offering you a smorgasbord of options to choose from this weekend.
Friday, August 8
La La Lush at Arlenes Grocery
Arlenes Grocery at 7 PM
Tickets: $10
This Bronx-based band is hauling over to the Lower East Side this weekend, and will be performing at the infamous Arlenes Grocery on Friday. Their unique sound fuses old school and modern pop, giving us a fresh new take on a genre that can sometimes feel exhausted. Come and check out La La Lush this weekend, and take this opportunity to see them before they get too big!

If youre tired of the hustle and bustle of city life but dont have enough time to actually leave, come to the Rural Route Film Festival!

Asian Dub Foundation: THX 1138
Prospect Park at 7:30 PM
Tickets: FREE
The iconic London band Asian Dub Foundtion has attracted fans from all over the world, and will be performing in Brooklyn this weekend. The bands unique take on live soundtracking will be showcased as they soundtrack George Lucas chilling dystopian film THX 1138. Were excited to see how they will adapt to such futuristic and stark visuals, but are expecting nothing less of great from this unique band.

So skip the boozy brunch this weekend, and hang with Gulley Jimson as he searches for artistic inspiration in unlikely places.
Evil Pairing: Danish Hot Dogs and Craft Beer
Revolving Dansk from 5 - 10 PM

An evil pairing indeed- I think we can all agree that nothing goes better with a juicy hot dog than a refreshing craft beer. The Danish have apparently mastered this combination, and are sharing the love this weekend at Revolving Dansk. Leave some space in your stomach on Sunday, and experience the best of Danish culture!
Free Kayaking at Stuy Cove
Stuy Cove from 1:15 PM - 5:15 PM

As much as kayaking in the East River may sound like a ridiculous proposition, outdoor sports activities are not exactly common in NYC. Urban Swim is offering a rare opportunity to learn how to kayak for free at the Stuyvesant Cove. All equipment and boats are provided, so just bring yourself and make sure your can swim!
