The Public Theater Block Party

Following four years of construction, the downtown institution unveiled its revamped lobby and other new elements (including a cocktail bar called the Library) earlier in October. The Public will fete its new home by closing down Lafayette Street for a block party, featuring previews of upcoming works (including David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s collaborative effort, Here Lies Love), live music, and snacks from food trucks such as Korilla BBQ and Rickshaw Dumpling.
