Lincoln Center’s second annual Summer for the City is currently in full swing, and this Wednesday the blockbuster arts and culture festival is kicking off its first-ever Korean Arts Week. For four straight days New Yorkers will have the chance to experience Korean culture first-hand without hopping on a pricey 16-hour flight. With a diverse lineup featuring K-rock concerts, K-pop silent discos, traditional and contemporary dance performances and more, Korean Arts Week promises something fun for every K-culture fan (and for anyone who’s simply K-curious). Most of the events are FREE, so grab your friends and get a taste of what Korea has to offer beyond BTS, Squid Game and the other usual suspects! What is Korean Arts Week? Part of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City series, Korean Arts Week showcases the breadth and beauty of Korean culture through music, dance, visual art and more.  It’s the first time that Summer for the City is highlighting various aspects of a country’s culture over multiple days.  When is it? Korean Arts Week will take place from July 19–22. To view the full schedule of events, visit the Lincoln Center’s Korean Arts Week website.  Where will the events be held?

All but one of the events are FREE, so you just have to show up.  For most events, attendees will be admitt

Alan Shawn Feinstein visited your elementary school once and gave you a rare coin.

You didn’t necessarily go to Brown, but you own some of the school's swag and you saw Emma Watson once. Does that count? 5. On Sundays your mom makes gravy—and puts it on pasta.  6. When you're wicked thirsty you ask, "Where is the nearest bubblah?" 7. If your license plate has three numbers or fewer, you feel like a celebrity. It’s a big deal.  8. You love Awful Awfuls from Newport Creamery, but really think they should just call them "Awesome Awesomes." 9. Mr. Potato Head is your role model. 10. You couldn't give a hoot about Family Guy. 11.

You can’t wait for the end of March when Del’s reopens for the season.  14. When you
