The streets are alive with the sound of music!
This weekend is packed full of live music, folks. Not even your nightlife correspondent can capture it all, but here are a few of the best things worth checking out.
Start your weekend with the second installment of Summer Stroll (Third Avenue between 80th and 90th streets), which this week gives the southern half of Third Avenue a chance to show off! Hit the streets and keep your ears open — bands will be playing all along the street, and there will be plenty of food, dancing, and other activities to keep you busy. The street stays open from 6 pm to 10 pm.
But if you duck out before sundown, you can take your own summer stroll to Owl’s Head Park (entrance at Colonial Road and 68th Street) with the family for a screening of last year’s live-action version of “Cinderella,” starring Lily James and Cate Blanchett. The bibbidi-bobbidi-boo begins at 8:45 pm.
On Saturday, the bluesy, funky five-piece Identity Theft plays the Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) at 9:30 pm. The group has a set list that includes classic tunes from the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and Lou Reed.
But if you can’t get what you want at Greenhouse, sometimes you can get what you need at the Leif Bar (6725 Fifth Ave. between 67th and Senator streets), courtesy of the Rolling Stones cover band Sha-Doobie. These energetic dudes hit the stage at 10 pm.
Or you can head to the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets) for Wine With Sue. Wine with Sue is no sommelier training course in wafting and flavor notes — they are a rockin’ Rockaway Beach-based four-piece that is ready to party down. The band keep it up all night, from 11 pm to 3 am.
