Live at the Lumberyard Tonight: Friday 8/23

livemusiclumberyard

Kick off the weekend with “Live at The Lumberyard,” a free concert in the Heights starting at 7pm. The event really does take place in a lumberyard, located on Palisade near Griffith Street (close to Riverview Fisk Park). Originally scheduled earlier in the summer, the show was called off because it was raining bullets. Hopefully that won’t happen again tonight so we can all rock out. Yay Friday! Bands playing and their links below:

7pm | GMJ Groove

8pm | Sea of Otters

9pm | Twiddlin’ Thumbs

Enjoy the weekend,

Macbeth Saturday 8/17

MACBETH

The Hudson Shakespeare Company performs Macbeth live at The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery (435 Newark Ave.) at 7pm on Saturday, August 17th. Watch a classic put to the stage in this theatrical benefit for the cemetery, which is a 100% volunteer-operated space, having no house-of-worship affiliation and no city or state funding.

This performance is sure to knock you out of the park! So bring your friends, your family, your blankets (nights are starting to get chilly). You may think a cemetery is a creepy place to gather, especially at night, but Harsimus really is a neat spot. Read about my experience here.

There’s a suggested donation of $10 per person for the show. In the cemetery’s words: “Every month we need to raise between $2000 to $3000 just to operate & purchase equipment & supplies. If 300 people would donate only $10 each, we would be all set for the month of September! Please help our amazing restoration work by contributing today at http://www.jerseycitycemetery.org

 

Enjoy,

Orale! Mexican Kitchen

Mercado

Orale! Mexican Kitchen is a dining experience, one best enjoyed when you’re in a fun, upbeat, colorful mood. It’s a place to overload your senses: admire the art installations on the walls, engage your taste buds in innovative flavor combinations and talk loudly over the music while sipping on strong cocktails. Like a mini-party restaurant. Not that it’s a club—it’s definitely a restaurant—but you want to go there when feeling festive because the place just bleeds festivity.
