The self-taught chef and self-proclaimed philosopher will explain what's behind his particular variety of hospitality ("I kick people out when I don't like them") and cuisine ("the base of my cooking philosophy is to get the job done with as few ingredients, as little effort and in as short a time as possible") at the Strand. The book features recipes for some of the more popular dishes at Shopsin's, Kenny's Greenwich Village restaurant, including Blisters on My Sisters, Carmine Street Enchiladas and Ho Cakes. "

A Sunday Afternoon Barbecue and Hang at The Yard

Gussie up to get down at the brand new, easy-going, late afternoon, barbecue cum dance party -- every Sunday throughout the summer. Sunday Best! takes over The Yard, a leafy waterside lot on the Gowanus Canal for a nice, mid-afternoon barbecue. It’s no ordinary weenie roast, though. The bar-b’s organic and resident DJs Justin Carter, Eamon Harkin and Doug Singer play alongside some of the finest DJs to ever take on a back yard…

F, G trains to Carroll St. South on Smith. Left on President. Right on Hoyt. Left on Carroll.
N, R trains to Union. West on Union. Left on Nevins. Right on Carroll. Just over the bridge.

Close your eyes and imagine a park along Park Avenue--children safe from speeding cars, families smiling in the summer sun, cyclists moving slowly--everyone enjoying the pleasures of it all. Imagine this park stretched from 72nd Street to the Brooklyn Bridge, peppered with venues for classes, rest stops and meeting places. Imagine hundreds of ambassadors there to help and a handful of closed streets tying it all to the West Side greenway.

Now, open your eyes and mark your calendar. On three Saturdays this summer from 7 am-1 pm, this dream will become a reality.

After years of T.A. advocacy, the Department of Transportation will hold a Ciclovía-style street closure in New York City. Neighbors, visitors and everyone that attends will have the rare opportunity to reclaim streets as a public space for physical activity and play.

Increasingly over the years, T.A. has helped made events like this a reality. From car-free Sundays on the Grand Concourse to this year's Car-Free Crotona to 30 block parties held in neighborhoods all around the city to Williamsburg Walks, we've been spreading the message that streets are for people by encouraging car-free events. We want Summer Streets, the most high-profile of these to date, to be a great affair so spread the word and stay tuned for more information on how you can help to make Summer Streets as amazing as can be.

Copacabana will be in the house, so expect some cheeky mayhem and a mix of

UPSTAIRS: SFOTE's Laventille Bus Benefit Concert
9pm doors, $30 at the door (100% of door profits go directly to charity!!)
SFOTE and Santos Party House are pleased to present "Laventille Bus"-- a
benefit concert with performances by SIMPLY FLY: TUNDE ADEBIMPE (TV on the
Radio), RYAN SAWYER (Tall Firs, Eye Contact, Stars Like Fleas,) and LIZZI
BOUGATSOS (Gang Gang Dance) will be performing. Also on the bill are
DRAGONS OF ZYNTH, KANENG LOLANG, and the BROOKLYN JUMBIES (stilt
dancing/fire breathing/traditional african drum and dance troupe).

Late night DJ dance party will follow, featuring DJ sets from Tunde
Adebimpe, Lizzi Bougatsos, and more DJs TBA!

"Laventille Bus" will benefit SFOTE's 2008 Educational Initiative, which
provides children free sustainable transportation to and from school. 100%
of the door proceeds from this concert will go to the bussing system in
Laventille, Trinidad.

SFOTE found that Laventille, an economically impoverished and crime-ridden
area in Trinidad, had a particular problem: even though there is a free
public school system, there is no public bus system. Because the cost of
transportation is high (6TT per day per child), many children in the area
eventually drop out of school because their parents are unable to afford
bus fare for their entire family.

For more info on SFOTE, head to www.sfote.org

SIMBAD, SCRIBE, DJ RUPTURE, GEKO JONES, $MALL¢HANGE & VERY SPECIAL GUEST

A legend passed away this week. Our fearless, funky, and fabulous leader.... Isaac Lee Hayes. We are devastated. We are saddened. We are dabbling in nihilism. In the wake of such an incredible loss, we have come to a few hard realizations: Nothing is sacred. Time is short, heroes are finite. BUT, brilliant music is unconditional. So lets converge on the dance floor...wax enthusiastic...get sweaty and get down. We'll be back at our friend's loft on Aug 16th, with our gang of DJs, our thumping sound system, and our grab-bag of unexpected treats. ...Mortality may not fun, but it certainly gives us a great reason to lose our shit.

SATURDAY 8.16 doors 11pm. $10, RSVP: LYS@meanredproductions.com
