Just Another Sunday Best
There’s always a lot of outdoor music events that happens in NYC during the summer, but two of my favorites are Sunday Best and Saturdays at Water Taxi Beach. Sunday Best, which takes place at the Brooklyn Yard in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, combines two of my favorite things: caliber DJ acts and barbecues. The events always take place on Sunday afternoons during the summer, serving grilled meat and hot tunes against a serene waterfront backdrop. Here’s a couple of recent mixes, for your downloading pleasure, from when Rub N’ Tug and Justin Carter played there June 21:

In addition, another excellent outdoor festival is Saturdays at Water Taxi Beach, which is in Long Island City and, yes, takes place on beach and is the closest thing New Yorkers have to Ibiza. Claude VonStroke, impresario of Dirty Bird Records, played there recently and here’s a video of him dropping “Billie Jean” to a jam-packed crowd.
