 Looking is for Free, but Paint Will Cost Ya |
Jackson Avenue (Between Crane & Davis Street) New York, NY 11101 United States http://www.5ptz.com/ |
Located near PS 1 in Long Island City, 5 Pointz is a huge block-sized industrial building that's a work of art in itself and also a space for artists inside and out. The building is covered in colorful graffiti of all kinds. You can watch many of the permitted taggers work their magic. Some have great talent and are virtual urban Picasso's, while others need to put down the spray cans. To get permission to make your mark in history or at least until someone else paints over it, contact the owner at meresone@aol.com. Wynne Boelt Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Free performing arts festival |

Founded in 1985, the Central Park SummerStage has become one of the premier summer arts festivals in New York. Running during the summer months (June-August) and offering performances of classical and contemporary music, dance, spoken word and opera, New Yorkers from all five boroughs flock to the park to relax and enjoy the free show. Located in the heart of Central Park, it is a great place to come early and spend the day. Shows vary but there is always something for everyone. Check the website for schedule and performers.

Fire power along the river |
East River (between 23rd and 42nd streets) New York, NY 10016 United States http://www1.macys.com/campaign... |
Every year, Macy's celebrates Independence Day by sponsoring a fireworks display along the East River. Locations may vary slightly from year to year, but they normally take place between 23rd and 42nd streets. It is a fabulous display, each firework tripled and shot in rapid succession. Many people gather along FDR Drive, First Avenue or the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to view this show. Expect all viewing in or close to the city to include vast crowds. Admission is free.
