Pre Covid-19 we searched the internet everyday looking for the very best of What’s Happening, primarily on Manhattan’s WestSide, so that you didn’t have to.
We made it as easy as 1-2-3.

Covid-19 has required some changes for the time being.
Stay Safe.
============================================================

For September we are going to try a different format – “Top 10 Corona Culture” – updated info and video especially suited to these difficult times OR NYC related visual info (Instagram and YouTube) OR all the NYC news you need to start your day.

We hope you will come back often to see what’s cooking here.
Today it’s NYC Weekend Corona Culture (sat). NEW STUFF!

Our critics and writers have selected noteworthy cultural events to experience virtually or in person in New York City. (NYT)

Glory in the treasures of Corinth as The National Arts Club shines a light on Greek Corinth, its destruction by Romans in 146 B.C.E., and the Roman colony founded by Julius Caesar a century later.

Join Robin Rose, writer, teacher, herbalist, and green witch, as she pays a virtual visit to the New York Open Center to share the power and healing properties of trees.

Head out to Green-Wood Cemetery for an in person quartet performance by The Harlem Chamber Players, performing music by George Walker and Florence Price atop the Hill of Graves  (Walker’s piece includes his profound Lyric – originally titled Lament – which was written in memory of his grandmother, who had been a slave.)

Survey the culture, history, and legacy of the Lenape, original settlers here, with archaeologist Dr. Eugene Boesch.

Sunday, September 27

Be guided by Tibet House US and a celebration of the goddess on an evening that weaves together “mystical stories, visualizations, meditations, mantra repetition, and singing chants.”

Beyond things to do in the virtual realm this weekend, keep up with all kinds of talks, lectures and activities all month long. Sign up for Thought Gallery’s weekly Curriculum, the best of smart quarantine culture delivered right to your inbox.
