Big Day Off

What I’m doing tomorrow:

Summer Streets — like a little bit of Merida in NYC! (Actually, I guess Bogota has been doing it longer, but I know the idea of one-day-a-week car-free streets from that little slice of urban heaven in the Yucatan. Soooo–when’s Bloomberg going to start the all-day party with a billion taco vendors and musicians on Times Square?)

Playing the Building — David Byrne doing something musical is fine with me

Governor’s Island — I actually know someone who grew up there!

[Further recreation TBD. Beach on Staten Island?]

Capped off with…

A documentary about Brazilian airlines (cooler than it sounds), and one about bossa nova (that I don’t have to sell you on) at the Brazilian Film Festival at Tribeca Cinemas — I am told there will be delectable cachaca concoctions on hand, as if I needed further selling. Ooh, and it’s one of those fancy cachacas, Sagatiba! I’ve only ever drunk the kind where I was warned, ‘This cheap stuff can go bad really quickly–I think it survived the flight…’

Now I’m just rooting for it not to rain.
