NYC Event Watch - August 9th

There’s way too much going on in NYC to know every little festival and event that wanders through. And thanks to me, you don’t have to! Here are a few upcoming and ongoing events that might be right up your alley.

Brooklyn Beer and Wine Fest - RestorationPlaza - August 16th

Cruise down for one day of tasting some of the best beer and wine in New York City. There will be music and other live entertainment to keep you busy while you lighten your spirits with some choice drink.

Life Imitates Film - Lost Kid Excitedly Explores NYC

It sounds like the plot to one of those Home Alone movies and, in fact, it was, but apparently a nine-year-old kid got lost recently and spent his time exploring New York City. He wandered out of the zoo where his parents were, made his way through Times Square and then ended up walking more than a mile until he reached the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The parents were, of course, panicking, but the boy was said to have reported having the time of his life. It just goes to show that even bad comedies can sometimes carry a note of truth.

Festival of Party People Told to Please Not Use Drugs

Everyone knows that when you go to a popular music festival, you should expect people to be indulging themselves in substances that are less than legal. In order to combat that, attendees at the New York City music festival are being forced to endure something new - a brief anti-drug video. They’ll have to watch it before they are admitted, presumably to keep them from doing drugs while they party. Luckily for festival-goers, it’s only 2 minutes long. Will it work? Somehow I doubt it, but good try NYC.

NYC Subway Presents a New Threat - Bedbugs!

Beware, New York commuters, for a new plague is infesting the already beleaguered subway system. Apparently, they’ve found some bedbugs lurking about. If anyone reading this has had to deal with these little buggers personally, then you know that getting an infestation is a huge pain that costs hundreds of dollars to clean up. Luckily, the city has plenty of cash to spend, so they’ve gone ahead and fumigated the affected lines. So you’re probably safe. Maybe.
