  1. mopar, yeah, the tours focus on architecture, cultural institutions and other buildings/sites of note, history, restaurants, shops, etc. The focus/intent is not at all on attending live performances (or illegal parties, for that matter. Although that would be fun too).

    I forgot to mention that the NY Hall of Science also has a brand spanking new mini putt course that is fabulous. Only problem is NY Hall of Science is in Queens, so don’t tell anyone I recommended it.
    🙂

    Tandem sounds fabulous. I would have loved to check it out.

  2. Oh, Biff, you were looking for *architecture*? Oh!

    There’s a little bit of that on and around Bushwick Ave. Not too much, mind you — most everything has been covered up with aluminum siding.

    Otherwise, I’d recommend going to some kind of art, music, or dance performance thing, preferably at an illegal party on a loft rooftop. Or the mini-golf thing, which I haven’t been to but understand is some kind of art installation. Also stop by for a drink or snack at Tandem, which is a very beautiful place decorated with salvaged gas lamps, old bathroom fixtures, and a wall of 60s-style art tiles handmade by one of the owners, an artist named Jane.
