This week: Summer Streets, concerts at a classic Village venue, good eats and cool geeks on the West Side and a midsummer dance break in Prospect Park.

Citywide

Summer Streets
On three consecutive Saturdays each summer, nearly seven miles of NYC streets–from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along Park Avenue and connecting streets–are opened for people to play, walk, bike, and enjoy the open air. Part bike tour, part walking tour and part block party, it’s a great time for exercise, people-watching or just enjoying summer mornings.
August 3, 10 and 17, 7AM to 1PM
