The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The
The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The is one of the coolest shows I've seen in NYC. "Hilarious fusion of a virtuosic musical performance, with slapstick comedy, horror and noir, The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The is a side-splitting send up of 'serious' art forms."3/12/2007 | Permalink |
Moving to Fort Greene
Moving to Fort Greene (map). Cool neighborhood and we'll be right near Fort Greene Park, Crunch gym, cool restaurants, BAM arts center, etc. And two blocks away is a subway stop that includes the B and Q train (the latter runs express so you can be at Union Square in under 10 minutes). The area's a bit of a train nexus too, lots of other lines (including the F, G, and C) are right nearby too.Time Out NY recently ranked the best blocks in New York and #1 is four blocks away: South Portland Avenue between DeKalb and Lafayette Avenues.
The king of all New York blocks seems straight out of Sesame Street, not only for the unbroken rows of brownstones and brick townhouses, but also because it's still home to the diverse crowd for which Fort Greene has become known: The old guard of the black middle class shares the street with transplants from far and near; kids and senior citizens roost on stoops. Slate sidewalks and a canopy of London Plane trees, plus proximity to the C and G trains and the nearby cluster of great bars and restaurants, make this block a standout. And that's not mentioning Fort Greene Park, which begins right where South Portland meets DeKalb. "It's just beautiful," says four-year resident A.R. Swan, "and it's a relief from the hubbub of Fulton Street." Bonus: +2 points for a great neighborhood vibe that springs from the commingling of cultures; there's plenty to do and it's nearly free of tourists (except forgivable visitors to BAM).
