Happy New Year everyone! Now that the crazy partying is wrapped up, here are some low-key happs to enjoy this weekend.
Attend the Visioneers premiere at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden this Thursday at 8 p.m. The event is hosted by the Astoria Indies, a new indie film group in Queens that will bring you a different movie screening each Thursday at this venue. If you don’t catch this week’s, you can always come back another time. 29-19 24th Avenue, Astoria. 718.274.4925
Still holding on to your Christmas tree? You can put it to good use by recycling it at this year’s Mulchfest, Saturday and Sunday in Astoria Park from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.. Just take all ornaments off and you’ll be all set – they’ll even let you indulge in some free mulch! Have fun, meet new people and benefit the environment. 19th Street and Hoyt Avenue, Astoria.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably indulged a lot this holiday season, and are looking to hit the gym. A lot of them are holding introductory specials with $0 down. My personal favorite, New York Sports Clubs is free to join until February 1st and The Rock is also offering $0 initiation, 2 free personal training sessions and the entire month of January free. NYSC - 38-11 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.932.1400. The Rock – 22-15 31st Street, Astoria. 718.204.1400
On another healthy note, check out Mackenzi’s 7 great recommendations for veggie eats in Astoria. From Mundo (carrot dip pictured above) to Vesta to Bare Burger, you’ll find nifty tips on how to eat healthy and meat free.
The Noguchi Museum is holding an interesting-sounding discussion this Sunday at 3 p.m. about Sculpture in the Landscape. The talk will focus on land art, specific works and the various issues that come up when exhibiting sculpture in the open air. Sounds like a useful event for an inspiring artist or an aficionado. 9-01 33rd Road, Long Island City. 718.204.7088
