The episode discusses indoor activities in NYC for a rainy Memorial Day weekend, featuring arts and culture recommendations and events.
Rain may be in the forecast for Memorial Day weekend, but New York City still has plenty to offer. WNYC arts and culture editor Matthew Schnipper joins us to share indoor arts and culture picks for the long weekend, from story time at The Metropolitan Museum of Art to free exhibits at MoMA PS1. Plus, we talk about New Yorkers fishing in city waters, a new immersive Radiohead experience, and the summer lineup for BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, including our guesses for a mysterious Aaliyah tribute show. Photo: Anna Rawls -Got any questions, comments or story ideas?
