There is more to do in Bay Ridge than you can shake a roman candle at! After you have finished lighting off those left over Fourth of July fireworks, we have some awesome shows and events all weekend and all next week.
Kick off your weekend on Friday night at Greenhouse Café (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) with London Fogg at 9:30 pm. This British Invasion-centric six-piece has been rocking stages all over Brooklyn and Staten Island this summer, so expect a tight show.
The Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets) always brings in the top talent on Saturday nights and this weekend is no different. The versatile cover band Betty Rocker will kick out the jams starting at 11 pm.
The good times don’t stop with the weekend! On Tuesday, head to Shore Road Park (entrance at 79th Street and Shore Road) at 7 pm for tunes to help you power through the week from 1980s cover band Radio Daze, presented by State Sen. Marty Golden (R-Bay Ridge).
And if work stress has you tied in knots, chill out with some yoga on hump day at Owl’s Head Park (enter at the corner of 67th and Senator streets) with Yoga in Bay Ridge instructor Erica Ginger. The session starts at 6:30 pm and runs until 7:45 pm. There is a suggested $5 donation, which you should shell out to keep up your karma.
Bay Ridge is Brooklyn’s go-to destination for live music, but comedy is much harder to find in the ’hood. But Thursday is your lucky night if you need a laugh — you can yuk it up at Encore (10007 Fourth Ave. between 100th and 101st streets) for dinner and live comedy from local comics Steve Loftus, Bobby Morris, John Saponaro, and Mark Demayo. Tickets are $20.
