  LORCA IN NY: A CELEBRATION
April 5-July 21, 2013 Monday, Thursday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Tuesday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–7:30 p.m. Sunday, 1–5 p.m. The New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Wachenheim Gallery Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street Free and Open to the Public nypl.org Federico García Lorca famously left the first draft of Poet In New York on his publisher’s desk in 1936 with a note that promised he would be “back tomorrow.” But the meeting never took place – Lorca was murdered only a few weeks later – and the manuscript was lost for decades. Now, The New York Public Library and the Federico García Lorca Foundation present Back Tomorrow: Federico García Lorca / Poet in New York, an exhibition that brings together for the first time the recovered New York manuscripts, photos, and drawings that trace Lorca’s vision from first drafts to fair copies to the nervous line of pen and colored pencil. Back Tomorrow: Federico García Lorca / Poet in New York is the story of the poet’s trip and of the testimony it produced: not only the complex book of poems, but also, in contrast, a cheerful series of insightful letters to his family and a series of remarkable drawings that offer, like the poems, an apocalyptic vision of the city. Also exhibited are personal objects, including the poet’s passport and bank book, his library card and guitar, along with rare books and relevant manuscripts of Whitman, Hart Crane, and T.S. Eliot from the collection of the New York Public Library. The Lorca manuscripts, drawings, and photos are from the archives and library of the Federico García Lorca Foundation, Madrid, a non-profit foundation devoted to furthering an understanding of the poet’s life and work. Curated by Christopher Maurer and Andrés Soria Olmedo This exhibition is organized jointly by the Fundación Federico García Lorca, The New York Public Library, and Acción Cultural Española with the support of ”la Caixa” Foundation. Support for The New York Public Library’s Exhibitions Program has been provided by Celeste Bartos, Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III, Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos and Adam Bartos Exhibitions Fund, and Jonathan Altman.

Witness the stunning natural spectacle that occurs when the sun aligns perfectly with Manhattan’s grid: The setting orb will illuminate both sides of every street in the borough four times a year. For the best view, camp out as far east as possible along a broad avenue with views across the island (14th and 34th Streets will do). And don’t forget your camera. Time: 8:25pm

Chelsea Brewing Company Pier 59 Manhattan, NY website: chelseabrewingco.wordpress.com As Plato once said, "He was a wise man who invented beer."

The tour includes free samples (naturally), along with tickets for discounted pints to savor afterward at the brewery's bar and restaurant, which overlooks the Hudson River. Current seasonal brews on tap include Hoppy Holidays, an annual American ale, and a Russian imperial stout. Tours start at 2pm every Saturday and continue on the hour through 6pm.
