Tenement Talks: Super Sad True Love Story by Jeffrey Shteyngart

Wednesday, August 18, 6:30 p.m.
Tenement Museum, 108 Orchard Street

The Speakeasy
This low-key Wednesday night party at the Museum of the City of New York is a great way to sneak in a drink after work with music, food and local ladies and gents in the museum’s laid-back uptown environs.

1220 Fifth Avenue
Tickets: $15; $10 for museum members

Summer Streets Festival
Celebrate the summer streets with a musical bike ride, a dip in the pool, a picnic, and family-friendly theater–all right in the middle of Park Avenue. If you don’t believe it, come see it for yourself before it all disappears.
