Spring Forward

Spring is near. Soon the snow will be gone until next winter. NYC will start to blossom. Spring will be in full bloom.

What makes NYC so special in the warm months? THE ARTS!!

As the weather gets warmer NYC comes to life with visual and music artists gracing city parks as well as sidewalks and venues from Brooklyn to Queens and beyond the island of Manhattan. Out from the warm confines of their studios and makeshift venues such as subway platforms and pathways, NYC artists are ready to leave behind their cabin fever and ready to engage tourist and residents alike around NYC.

Amongst the great art events that can be found throughout the Big Apple there are also networking and industry events that artist themselves should attend as part of their spring/summer arts repetoire in NYC.

NY Studio Factory will be planning spring/summer 2011 networking events for artists throughout the NYC area. As these events are posted we will keep you up in the know.

The Trash Bar (265 Grand, b/w Driggs and Roebling): Known for their nightly entertainment, come in for a beer and enjoy the free tator tots! This dive bar is open Monday-Sunday from 5pm-4am.
Foodswings (295 Grand): Known for their pu-pu platter, this stop is known for their vegetarian/vegan cuisine. They're closed on Mondays, but are open fairly late (past midnight) almost every other day for your late-night munchies.

Baci & Abbracci (204 Grand): This restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine and gets crowded fast, so reservations are recommended. One reviewer swears that "the mozzarella is just like it was made and FedEx'ed from Italy." Call 718-599-6599‎.
