Hello Astoria,
The chaotic spring weather continues! If the beginning of Spring makes you want to try something new, there are discounts this week on some cool Fever events across NYC.
For the large cross-section of former theater kids and Swifties - Broadway sings Taylor Swift with Live Orchestra
A beautiful candlelight concert - Queen vs ABBA
For the murder podcast junkies - Mind of a Serial Killer experience
You can also get discounts on gift cards, including for movies at Regal 👀
In neighborhood news:
- 31st Ave Open Street is organizing a restaurant week with discounts at neighborhood spots, kicking off on Sunday! See the details and menus here
- Very sadly, the Brass Owl is closing their doors after years as a neighborhood staple and community anchor.
- Lockwood has a major sale at all 3 locations this week, leading up to their move to a new big headquarters on Broadway.
A little light on events this week, so if you know local businesses, performers, or organizers who should be included next time, send them here to submit!
Cheers,
Stacey
