I feel like most of my favorite NYC spaces are small and poorly ventilated - and absolutely going to be the last thing to reopen, if they do.
Less outdoor music than I expected going on too, it has been a quiet summer if you don’t count what you hear coming from barbecues and people’s cars.
Art has been slowly coming back - museums and galleries are frequently open, though you need to book ahead of time for indoor spaces. We recently went to see a laser and sound piece, Intangible Forms, at this place Artechouse in Chelsea. Carl Craig has an exhibition up at Dia:Beacon I plan on checking out.
I’m sure there are very underground parties going on right now too but I’m too old and risk-averse.
I’ll add that I like the nonsense nyc mailing list for a weekly look at what’s going on in underground events across music, art, theater, etc - it’s about 90% streaming and 10% outdoors right now though.
