8/1, 8/8, 8/15 (Saturdays) – Summer Streets 2015

Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City’s most valuable public space—our streets. On three consecutive Saturdays in August, nearly seven miles of NYC's streets are opened for people to play, run, walk and bike. Summer Streets provides space for healthy recreation and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation. In 2014, more than 300,000 people took advantage of the open streets.

Summer Streets extends from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along Park Avenue and connecting streets, with easy access from all points in New York City, allowing participants to plan a trip as long or short as they wish.  You can water slide, soar through the air on a zip line, dance, get fit, immerse yourself in a public art and architecture tours or just stroll along and experience the city's streets in a new way.  All activities are FREE, and designed for people of all ages and ability levels to share the streets respectfully.
 

Definitely check out these activities!

8pm
The Chain Theatre
21-28 45th Rd

How to be a GoodPerson™ tells the story of Vanessa and Paul, two people searching for meaning in an environment of overwhelming stimulation. Social media is flooded with headlines that read “Bring Back Our Girls” but also “36 Ingenious Ways to Eat Peanut Butter for Breakfast”. Online users present themselves via curated snippets of themselves through Facebook and Snapchat which can capture genuine human moments but can also represent us as more successful or more superficial than they truly are. This piece explores how it is possible to differentiate the genuine from the artificial when there is so much noise!
