Summer warm up at PS1, every Saturday during the summer months in an open outdoor space, drinks and food, relaxed easy vibe, and art that doesn't require in depth reflection, just a nice way to spend your Saturday. Awesome bookstore, with books ranging from music, art, to philosophy. Great drink selection and restaurant, on the pricey side.
