NYC Public Ultimate League
The warm weather seems here to stay, and we’re itching to cure one serious case of spring fever. A winter in the gym gets the heart pumping and all, but there’s nothing like getting out there, letting loose and playing some good-old, adrenaline-filled, sweat-flying-off-your-brow sports. Luckily, Brooklyn’s pretty well set-up for this sort of thing, with great parks and spaces, and plenty of amateur leagues to bring everyone together. So whether you’re one for some pick-up hoops, or if organized cricket’s more your cup of tea, here’s how to get out and play. Read the rest of this entry »
We don’t totally understand this Groupon thing, but we just got a blast from the new coupon site that they have a deal today on a hardcore workout called Bootcamp Republic, where torture specialists including this guy (yes sir!) abuse you in Prospect Park or McCarren Park. The Groupon deal gets you three classes for $30. Normally, six classes of bootcamp cost $250, and if you want to stay for all six weeks you have to cover the second half. Anyway, it sounds sorta promising: Bootcamp Republic has a perfect five-star rating on Yelp (even though reviewers might be too indimidated to indicate otherwise.) Here’s a link to the Groupon deal and the Brooklyn class schedule.

Maybe that’s because this weekend is The Renegade Craft Fair—Art Basel for the Etsy crowd—where you could fill a whole Airstream with the DIY cloth purses, agro onesies and vintage-print aprons that will be filling the 250-plus foldup tables at McCarren Park. But what’s the really good stuff? We asked our design-editor friend Mary Kate for a highly opinionated preview. Read the rest of this entry »
Here’s Brooklyn Vegan’s handy list of free summer movies at McCarren Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park this summer, along with flicks showing in another borough slightly to the west. P.S. Why do blog commenters love the word Meh?

Yes, there’s some organized kite-flying on the schedule, but that’s just the highest-flying part of what looks like a chock-full free day at McCarren Park this Saturday. May 15 is It’s My Park Day in NYC, and the Greenpoint park is playing its part with four celebratory events: a kite festival, W’Burg Greenmarket cooking demo, free photo booth (for you and your kite) and the McCarren launch of some extremely eco-friendly coffee.
