Sunset on the Hudson: A Friday Night Music Series | Pier 45 (at W. 10th St.) in Hudson River Park is the place for this weekly summertime series starting at 7pm and featuring a diverse roster of talent drawn from—and, as such, reflective of—New York City. July 22, Los Cumpleaños, play classic era Cumbia, Porro, Son Caribeño, Salsa Criolla, and Bullerengue from Colombia. Think Downtown punk’s energy pushed through a prism of, the band says, “cutting-edge psychedelic new wave synths & wild style retro organ sounds.” Sight and sounds unseen, it’s hard not to be sold on the band from descriptive copy of that caliber. Next week, the July 29 entry in the series presents Koku Gonza. From August 5 through 26, featured acts are, respectively: Adi Oasis, Underground System, Queer Urban Orchestra, and The Big Takeover.

Flatiron Fitness’ Wellness Wednesdays: Through August 10, 6-7 pm at Flatiron South Public Plaza (Broadway btw. W. 22nd & 23rd Sts.)| Formerly the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership and now moving forward with a better, shorter name that name-drops its additionally embraced area of coverage, the Flatiron NoMad Partnership presents the return of their signature summertime series, which was promoting the notion of outdoor group exercise long before social distancing compelled fitness facilities to take their business beyond their brick and mortar borders. This eight-week series features yoga, high-intensity interval training, Pilates, and dance classes offered by area studios, gyms, and wellness-focused businesses.
Cancelled because of the extreme heat is the class booked for July 20: Dharma Yoga was scheduled to present Classic Practice. “The yoga postures bring radiant health and long life by drawing attention to the breath, joints, muscles, and mental state,” say the creators of this all-level class. The month’s schedule closes out with July 27’s PMT House of Dance offering Beginner Hip Hop. With an emphasis on musicality, creativity, intention, and performance, students will come away with an appreciation of the basic techniques, and an ability to put those foundational skills into their proper context. To register for any of these classes (and find out about pop-up classes and cancellations because of extreme heat, severe rain, etc.), click here.
