"One of our favorite relatively low-key places to get a drink (or a working breakfast) on the Lower East Side has live music on Saturday, May 29th from 3-6pm right in the middle of Rivington Street. There’ll be tables set up where you can sit, drink cocktails, and eat a good burger - all while watching the cars trying to turn off Allen get angry about the road blockage. Ahh, summer in the city. (And if you can’t make it this weekend, Sonnyboy will be running the same block party programming every summer Saturday.)" - hannah albertine
