Things to do in NYC this weekend
Where to celebrate the Royal Wedding in NYC
It's been quite a month for anglophiles in NYC, what with the recent launch of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway and the impending nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. For those of us who somehow have not been invited to the May 19 bonanza across the pond, there are still ways to properly celebrate in NYC. Here's our list of picks.
The Roller Wave
In the words of the immortal Big Tymers, everybody get your roll on. The popular roving roller-disco party presents two nights of freewheeling fun in Queens before returning to House of Yes for Memorial Day weekend. Grab your skates (or rent a pair there for $10), slip into your finest disco attire and go shimmy to the musical selections of DJ Jason Smith, Scram Jones, DJ Soul NYC and DJ Wonder. Rental skates are first-come, first-served, so don’t roll in late.
Mister Sunday
The unbeatable duo of Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin have grounded their world-touring record label and Mister Sunday dance party at the stunning Nowadays space in Ridgewood. Join them every Sunday for jubilant dancing, food truck bites and beyond. The Memorial Day rager promises a packed dance floor and cute looks from guests of all ages.
Brunch spots
Brunch may be a New York institution, but too often the perfect brunch experience gets messed up by long lines, watered-down mimosas and substandard eggs. Ugh. But don’t despair, dear bruncher: With our guide to the best restaurants in NYC for brunch, you can discover under-the-radar and overlooked joints by browsing the full list of spots for the best brunch.
Flea Markets
Looking for an amazing flea market? NYC has many options, and we list the best right here. If you’re a lover of vintage clothes shops and thrift stores, a food lover or hell, a New Yorker, then you know how much we love a good alfresco or indoor market. So flea-goers, satisfy the itch and start shopping for craft jewels and antiques, and indulge on gourmet eats from the best food trucks—we'll help you find the best flea market NYC has to offer.

FRANK SHINER AT CUTTING ROOM 3/21
Singer Frank Shiner and his all star band perform Saturday Night, March 21st, 7:30pm at New York's Cutting Room. All of Frank's previous shows have sold-out and his current single, the title track to his critically acclaimed debut album, The Real Me is #16 on the AC charts. Frank's show is a mixture of song and story and has proven to be very inspiring to his audiences. He sings lesser known songs from some of the contemporary music's greatest songwriters including, Paul Simon, Jimmy Webb, Elvis Costello, Randy Newman, Doc Pomus and Dr,John, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Van Morrison.
NPR says "Frank Shiner sings these songs as if he wrote them. He sings with a maturity and a truth that comes from living and loving deeply and fully." Time Out readers can save $5.00 off ticket price by using the code realdeal101. cuttingroomnyc.com for tickets.

Great list of things to do this weekend. When I am in New York, There are two things I always try to do. I always visit The Baseball Hall of Fame and I always try to catch a show on Broadway. There are a lot of fun things to do and enjoy. Thanks for the post with the great ideas. http://www.artsrapidcity.org
What if any great plays - and not the super Broadway mega plays - are worth checkin' out?
Had the butter & sage spinach and ricotta ravioli at Luzzo's Pizza last night (in lower Manhattan). Top notch. Delicious.
