    Posted in Own This City by Jonathan Shannon on August 4th, 2009 at 12:01 am

    aradArt
    “Ron Arad: No Discipline”

    The first major museum show of the Israeli designer’s work in the U.S., at MoMA, shows his exceptionally original incorporation of technology into domestic objects.

    Music
    Erykah Badu + Janelle Monáe

    One of the most engaging modern soul stars headlines what’s sure to be one of the more memorable shows you will see this year, with electrifying future-funk nerd-diva Janelle Monáe, on the beach at Governors Island.

    Eat Out
    Pig roast

    Hearth will be serving a three-course prix fixe centered on a pasture-raised piglet.

    What’s going on today: Journalist’s lives, Pacino’s heists and Philip Ward’s punches

    Posted in Own This City by Jonathan Shannon on July 6th, 2009 at 12:01 am
    Caption goes here

    Ta-Nehisi Coates.

    Books
    David Carr and Ta-Nehisi Coates

    Two New York journalists discuss one of their trickiest topics: themselves. Coates’s memoir The Beautiful Struggle recounts his childhood in a tough Baltimore neighborhood. Carr’s The Night of the Gun fills in the messy gaps of his crack-addicted past. Their conversation, like their books, should be superb.

    Music
    BAM Afro-Punk Festival

    Saul Williams headlines the last night of this festival and is joined on the bill by the future-funk-nerd-diva Janelle Monáe.

    Film
    Bryant Park Summer Film Festival: Dog Day Afternoon

    Lie back in Bryant Park and enjoy the warm, farcical tone in this heist-gone-wrong movie with Al Pacino.

    Drink up
    Punches: The Original Mixed Drink

    Mayahuel’s Philip Ward hosts a tasting and seminar on this mixed drink.

    Tours
    Alphabet City walking tour

    Explore the area’s pregentrification roots of gangs, drugs and artists.
