To do this weekend: Summer in LongIsCity and Tommy's Tavern
From Flavorpill:
Though MoMA’s moved the masterpieces back to Manhattan, Long Island City is still teeming with culture. Commence an art-filled weekend by touring the furtive Fisher Landau Center, an icon-heavy painting and sculpture collection. Then, drop into the nearby Museum of the Moving Image, where Porgy and Bess lights the screen and Digital Play recreates a video-game arcade. Later, listen to live music in the peaceful Noguchi Museum garden or let loose with Skeletons & the Girl-Faced Boys in P.S.1′s courtyard. Hit the trail again on Sun 5.15 for two exciting sculpture shows: Make It Now: New Sculpture in New York at the stylish Sculpture Center and the competing Sport at the down-to-earth Socrates Sculpture Park.

Also, a great show at Tommy’s Tavern:
Leaders of the Free World, The Redcoats are Coming, Poorboy Johnson & the Goddamn Rattlesnake, Landrew, and Compassion in Action
