Weekender
The big city has got a handful of great reasons for you to get out doors this weekend...
Saturday is another "Car-Free Summer Streets" day in Manhattan (see details here), then later in the day Environ hosts the Warm Up at PS1, then at night Thee Wurst Beach Party rocks the sand at the Water Taxi Beach. Finally, on Sunday the legendary disco DJ Nicky Siano is the guest for Sunday Best at the Yard.
