30 hours of free viewing at New Museum

New Museum is opening on December 1st and is offering 30 Free Hours of viewing this weekend starting Saturday at 12pm until Sunday at 6pm.

The website says this about the event:

"We have now officially given out the entire number of allotted timed tickets for Target 30 Free Hours. We expect that there will be a some tickets returned and some unused, thus it may be possible for visitors to show up during the course of the marathon event and get a ticket on the spur of the moment; but there is absolutely no guarantee!"

I don't know if this means it will be hard to get into or not, but it might be worth a trip to Manhattan to check out!

What: Seven stories of contemporary art opening this weekend with 30 consecutive free hours for your viewing pleasure.
Why: Get Lost at sunrise on Sunday.
When: Sat., noon-Sun., 6 p.m. Go at offbeat hours to avoid crowds.
Where: New Museum, 235 Bowery, at Prince St. (212-219-1222).

Radegast Hall & Biergarten (Billyburg)

Garden Party
Beer Hall With a Retractable Roof

Opening next week in Williamsburg, Radegast Hall & Biergarten is all your central-European fantasies rolled into one: 24-oz pints, more lagers than you can count, and most importantly, a retractable roof that leaves no doubt that you'll always be imbibing under optimal conditions.

When you step inside, you'll suddenly find yourself in a Vienna beer hall circa 1890, complete with a portrait of two Kaisers overlooking your half-liter of lager. (Never trust a Kaiser.) Sidle up to the twisting wraparound bar, grab a half-liter of Hofbrau (there are 13 lagers on tap) and don't forget the appetizers—luckily, the Austrian version of bar food is steak tartare and roast quail. Auf Wiedersehen, beer nuts.

Of course, the real revelry happens at the "garden" behind the bar. That's where you'll get some fresh air through the ten open skylights, grab the best German sausages from the grill at the back, and work on some international relations. If you want something heartier, there's Veal Schnitzel, Porterhouse Steak or Roast Pork Loin, all brought out on a plain wooden cutting board." -- Content from Urban Daddy newsletter

Mason Dixon on the LES

"Named for the line, not the Rocky Balboa character, this LES spot from the folks behind Spitzer's Corner dishes southern classics (food starts next week) and brings you Manhattan's second mechanical bull. In case you've already mastered the first one." -- Content from Urban Daddy newsletter

I WANT TO RIDE A MECHANICAL BULL. Don't lie - it is your lifelong dream, too.
